Sutro Baths Memorial Day 2010

I had an exciting Memorial Day….no BBQ’s for me, nope. I got me a Zipcar, my camera and gear and rolled out to the historic Sutro Baths here in San Francisco. Amazingly foggy day, but there was still a lot of good photos to snap. I did finally come to the conclusion that I cannot take handheld video with my camera without some sort of aid to steady my hands….I swear to god, you’d think I was a cartoon character who used a jackhammer all day….not too steady. Oh, well…guess I’ll need to get that steady cam-type thing..haha Gadget Powers ACTIVATE!!!

RainSong

Another rainy Sunday……so why not try to throw something together? It makes no sense, and is just some random shots around my apartment, but it does have a couple of really nice shots.  Mostly the ones where the camera was locked down.  That really makes a big difference, I am noticing.


Gonna spend a little more time learning some Final Cut and Color.  Used them to make this, but my workflow is pretty slow.  Definitely have to make a proper edit too, these shots aren’t really flowing together, but I wanted to get something done, so there it is….ha  Really did like my old Final Cut class at AOA, might as well try to use it a bit, eh?

Time for a new poster/T-shirt!!!

Level 42 is coming to the States, so I gotta get started…..why not mess around with bring some 3D into Photoshop?  Which still boggles my mind that I can do that.  That, and the fact that I cannot, for the life of me, waste me time trying to do a reflection with distortion, etc in PS that I could do in 5 seconds in AE……..weird.

XSI Time Lapse

Just testing out the old Push the trigger and fire away method. Mounted my cam on a Gorillapod (which had the intesting side effect of panning during the shot) and just held down the button and took a bunch of pics, as fast as my cam could go.

Brought into After Effects, and bam. Lots of potential, if I planned ahead.might need to try this again on the bay.


Optical Flair…..

Just got my hands on the new Video Copilot plugin Optical Flares and am very impressed.  Definitely gonna change how I approach 3D/2.5D and lighting from now on.


I may have overdone the volume a bit, but just the use of the 3D cameras and luma mattes to obscure the lights is pretty cool in my book. Also have had luck with using Maya camera information for a project at work…so it is definitely something to add to the toolkit..

Explode into Keyframer’s Union……

All 2d in After Effects…….Don’t know what I can do with it, but it looks cool to me…

All about the little tests here at the Korner, so here is the first of…maybe…a couple of tests using Form.  With a Jon Hopkins accompaniment…

Cin-tastic…..

Been slackin’ a bit.  Just started up on something that could be pretty cool.  It’s not an original idea, but I am just trying to replicate a look and feel.  If I can do that, then it’s a good start towards coming up with some originals…Here’s an early iteration, not done yet by any means….the idea was from an artist who goes by the name gKaster.  Crazy stuff….so good.
