Summer Video

The past 2 weeks I have been hard at work with another video of mine.

I'm not going to release much information about the storyline or anything, but I will say that this video should prove to be my best. With the scenes we do have, we've used some extremely effective angles to capture our shots. I'm very happy with how it's turning out so far.

Filming is somewhat slow though because we have been busy, the weather has not been pleasant, and it's just a lot of work to walk from set to set. Also, importing AVCHD film data has not been easy. Adobe CS3 does not support AVCHD, so I had to buy another piece of software just to import the files. Video production is hard work, folks. It can take over an hour to shoot just one scene, getting all the angles and scripted sequences right.

But this film so far is a pretty good video. I'm proud so far.

We're back to using NERF guns as props again, but in a less Call of Duty-esque fashion. More, they're used as real weapons, however, it's roughly as real as NERF guns can get. I'll start adding the muzzle flashes eventually.

Here are some screenshots. They don't show a whole lot, but I don't really care.







I may potentially add some filters to these shots eventually, but for now I'm worried about the flow of the video. I'll add effects later.

I also have not settled on a title yet. Yeah, I brought together a video idea, but I have no name for it. Yeahh.

Anyway, update later people.

50 Posts + 1

I just noticed that I've accomplished 50 official blog posts. Whoopiee!!

It's not a big deal but I'd say it's pretty good considering I'm a lazy son-of-a-bitch. I figured I'd just say that because well, why not? It's my blog.

Anyway still nothing happening.

Getting Lazier

I know I haven't posted in a while. Saying that I have nothing to post about is just a lame excuse that is half-correct regardless.

What it all comes down to is laziness. I haven't had much inspiration to post about anything lately. Wait, no, that's another excuse that is somewhat true. I'm just too lazy to write about anything. I don't have the patience to put a lot of effort in this anymore. I should be better at this, because it strengthens discipline.

But I never have anything to write about. Actually, I do, but those things are private and I don't have to share them with you people do I?

I'm leaving for Toronto in a week. It's kinda sad because I wanted to go out with my friends more. But some were in school, some couldn't make it, and some I just didn't feel like hanging out with.

And it all comes down to laziness.

I wanted to go to the beach, but so much to organize! Not for me. I want to go out with my friends, but where to go? What to do? How to keep them and me busy? Yeah I'm not good at this stuff. I'm indecisive and I don't follow through on a lot of things.

I did get them over one day though. We played Monopoly for a few hours... Then I saw Transformers 2 with my other friend. Terrible movie... Megan Fox isn't that hot. She's a bitch.

Hopefully I can go out with my friends at least one more time this week. If not, then I'm gonna be pretty sad....

Well I'll post later...
