Kickstarting!

Hey Everyone!

My advanced production class is producing two awesome short films to be submitted to festivals! I edited, directed and colored the first part of the video, “The Marines Video”

You can see more information here:

And watch the video here!

We are shooting with professional equipment that is currently being used to create Hollywood films! We need money to help get these two projects off the ground!
We are looking to get $1800, so if you can donate that’s awesome! If not please share, share, share!
We need all the coverage we can get to meet our goal in 20 days!
Thank you all for your support and effort to get this project going!

Ion Branding Tests

In the process of making the Ion logo, I played a lot with color (see below). I thought the purple and blue best fit what Ion is.

New Short Film: Elevator

I just released a short film I’ve been working on for a little while. Watch it here:

Be sure to check back within the next week or so; I’ve been working three other short films, two are in post, one is in pre-production. Enjoy!

Where have I been?

Well, it’s February, and last time I posted I was working hard on Timeline. Over the last two months, I have been incredibly busy and have not had time to work on Timeline. I worked on a short local film as a DIT back in the end of December. Throughout January and February I have been going to school, polishing short films to be released, at some point.

Timeline will be an ongoing project as I get ready for release (at some point) and polish the back end code, and how the actual app works, looks, and runs. For know, I am not ready to release Timeline, or any new posts about it, so it will be on a temporary hold.

If you are into After Effects at all, you probably know that Element 3D got a free update to v1.5. The coolest feature (there are a lot) is the animated OBJ sequences. Animated OBJ’s would basically mean that you could make something, in lets say C4D, and then animate it, export it as an OBJ sequence, then add that animated sequence inside of AE and E3D. It will be cool to see what people put together with this new addition to such a great plugin.

I also just recently got a part-time job, so my posts could become less frequent.

When I started the site over a year ago, I wanted to post once per day. Unfortunately, due to scheduling, and busyness, I could not. Ideally, I would like to go to one post a week.

I am also in the process of releasing another small short film (currently untitled), as well as another short film, which I am in pre-production for. You might even get to see some goodies (posters, etc) on the Facebook page, or on here.

A quick update on Souvenir, it will be taken down from the website, as it has been put on hold. In it’s place, will be another film entitled “Three Secrets.” We are currently in pre-production on this project as well. Right now, I am not ready to release any more details on this latest project, but all will be revealed soon.

That is all for now, please check back soon for more information on all these projects!

Free Light Leaks

In the recent inspirational video, an effect is used called light leaks, and are normally created while shooting. Since I don’t have a great camera, when it comes to creating them, I simply cannot. So when I find light leaks like these online (for free I might add), it seems great to me. These can be used to add great transitions and as well as creating emotions for the viewer. VinhSon Nguyen has just released a free set of these on his site: Creativedojo.net, you can download them directly, for free, from his site! A great release that I have been especially excited about since I don’t have a camera that I can make the light leaks with. So a big thank you to VinhSon!

New Logo – Coming Soon!

Working on a new logo, soon to come. I felt like the logo I currently have, doesn’t represent me very well. Thus the reason for a new logo. I will post it soon, along with a new logo-themed video.
