Go forth and fill your libraries with media.
Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.
I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.
I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.
Cheers,
Sunny afternoon down at Bronte Beach...
Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.
We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.
I will keep you posted.
Thank you for being so patient.

Woke up Wednesday morning and the world was red. Not just the sky, like when there is a sunset. The air was solid with red.
Not much sound about, as most of the birds were keeping shtum. The odd car and bus driving past.
Phone went off. It was Jamie from school. Good weather for a bit of time-lapse she reckons. Got the camera out and snapped a few shots, but the red was thick and featureless. Not much moving around in there.
Facebook conversation Wednesday morning...
Her:
Hey Dave! Did you take this photo this morning (around 7am) ? I woke up
very early and the colors coming through my window were absolutely
amazing! I took a photo of my window at 6:30am. The sky was pink!
Me: OH crap, the end of the world is coloured PINK!!! (ha ha)
The sky was blood red when I woke up round six'ish so I rolled over and went back to sleep.
The apocalypse does not start without me.
The
dust storm did weird things to ones colour perception. Normal colour
indoors if the lights were on, but outside everything was tinted red.
The only contrast being blue light from the sun, or from buildings, or
car head lights.
The world outside the windows
gradually lightened. The Martian red fading till there was just a white
fog floating around. The air was clear by the afternoon.
A mate reckons Wednesday morning was just like travelling. When you wake up in a new place and normal stuff has a strange angle to it.
Cept that in this case the whole city had been transported.
This is a video I took yesterday when we all woke up to find our city smothered in red dust.
Rhythm and observation .
Or research and juxtaposition???
This is a chance to put into practise stuff I've been learning at film school.
I went down to the Bondi kite fest, to shoot some 'observational' footage, and cut it up into two videos.
One focus's on the kite professionals who cordoned off a section of beach, and filled the air with an amazing variety of land tethered flying machines.
The second video is all about the amateurs. those folks who filled the grassy area behind the beach and throwing caution and canvas into the air.
Decided after extracting a series of short narratives (peoples kite flying adventures) to try interleaving a lot of the action.
The Amazon Conduit will be working again on October 15, 2009. Thank you to everyone for your patience.
Have a great weekend,
daisy, Team Vox
