Resolution to Visual Studio 2003 Python error on Windows
taken from http://paulsems.com/?p=42 thank you Paul!
I was trying to get past this error:
error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003;
extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries.
Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed,
you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing “-c mingw32″ to setup.py.
Here is the solutions
1. Visit: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435
2. Download & Run: Automated MinGW Installer (make sure you check the base, g++ and Make)
3. Update your PATH: Add the C:\mingw\bin directory to the system PATH
4. Create (or edit): C:\Python25\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg and add the following 2 lines:
[build]
compiler=mingw32

Star Wars Hoth Voice Effects (WIP)
For fun, I took the Hoth sequence from star wars and muted it. I took my mic and started layering in my own voice sound effects - hah, you know, for fun. This is still in progress, because wow - there's a lot of voice effects to do. But here's a work in progress:
I know, ridiculous, right? I was curious about the process of sound designers from a creative point of view. I wondered if you could save off a wip like this one, create a number of sounds, layered into the project - using your voice to build a lib of sounds. The next step would be to go out into the world and replace each one with a real-world alternative. Anyway, fun.
