Well for anyone who is a frequent visitor to my site, there are updates.  Nearly everything should now have video or pictures where there were none before, everyone rejoice!

In addition to this there will be some new project pages coming soon so keep your eyes open for them.

So I have been working on my DVD reel now whenever I get the chance, and figured I would post some of the videos here.

These three will be used as the background to the menus on the DVD, they basically keep with my clouds and barns theme I have going.

Don’t ask me where that came from, I just happened to have a lot of cloud and barn media, guess thats what happens when you live in central Illinois.

If anyone reading has not yet heard of Audiosurf, I suggest you skip right down to the picture, click it, and be amazed.

Basically Audiosurf is a new game that allows you to load a song, and it creates a racecourse out of it.  The idea is to collect colored blocks to score points, and avoid others while flying along this course, all the while your music is playing and you hit blocks and hills to the beat.

Its hard to describe until you play it but it is very addicting.  You can find the demo at their website or buy the game on Steam.  Well worth the 10bux I think. Click the picture below to go to the Audiosurf site.

I made this quick PDF to show how to do basic green screen keying in After Effects CS3.  It also shows how to do a garbage matte for a better key.  Have fun. Link is below.

Whats that you say? This video has everything possibly wrong with it?

Bad acting?  Check.

Bad editing? Check.

Bad effects? Check.

Bad music? Check.

Babies?  Checkmate.

OK, so everyone should go check out the site with this video on it.  Make sure you have a fork handy though so you can gouge your eyes out at the correct time.  Click the picture to watch.

So for those of you not following the Scientology versus Anon. debacle,  on the 10th, today, there were worldwide protests of Scientology buildings, with over 7000 people present in all.  The individual stories are many and if anyone is interested I’m sure they are quite easy to find on any social networking site, or one of the many news sites covering the ordeal.

Check out a good recap article form the LA times here.

This link is to part of Ford’s website showing some great behind the scenes videos of their new F-150 commercials. It’s worth a look, I thought they were all fake, turns out they aren’t.
