Summer Images Fire and Water

we still see the empty houses, and the broken asphalt

we see the boxes, and the lists,

it’s hot as fire, steam clouds your street

but the recovery …  hey …  is just at our feet …..

adding vimeo to my world

vimeo -  today

so … are you guys working ??

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

my dogcreek friends have a little different perspective.

I’m reminded of how  in Walden, Thoreau bemoans the many hours we spend working our life instead of living our Lives. It just doesn’t seem like the same possibility now but …

tell that to my fawn ….

http://www.sorensonmedia.com

is pretty cool – we all need to squeeze these media monsters but

360 http://www.sorensonmedia.com/video-delivery-network/

is much more with their own world of skins, players, a review section to share, statistics, SEO, one stop shopping …. central satellite view …. wow … that’s a lot of alliteration …. but then again … SorensonSqueeze are one

Cinema 4D video cube

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

borrowed this from C4D Cafe  http://www.c4dcafe.com but it reminds me of the little glass boxes you pick up in souvenir shops when you were a kid. The fun part

is what you populate it with and how you tune your animation. Since most of mine come from the woods, my cube sports baby ducks, full moons, hummer, and water spiders. Pretty cool – your sister will love the water spiders

Cinema 4D makes this very easy importing an image, in this case a movie as your material luminance channel. Create a new material, ‘uncheck’ the default color channel, add luminance to radiate your image,

then play with the timing and mingling of your cube faces and their children.

C4D curves, splines, and flight paths

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

easy to define your flight path with a spline. Once you like it, you may create second, rail to provide balance and banking. With ‘tangential’ chosen, your object, your mythical beast will orient with your railing and then

find some fun background …. or create your own. External video blends quite well if you want your cartoon to flirt with reality.

and since my Mom must have known thirty years ago this was going to happen,

she saved all my class pics for me.  they say art imitates Life ….

UFO – Acoustica Mixcraft 5 meets C4d and AE

UFO – Acoustica Mixcraft 5 meets C4d and AE

Acoustica Mixcraft has an amazing toolbox of sounds, controls, special effects, synthesizers that help you add that most essential ingredient to your video … Sound.

Like any tool, there’s a learning curve, and I guess it helps if you have some musical ability but I have been pleased with my beginning compositions and about all I have is a natural love for music.

One of my favorite things about Mixcraft is that it helps you compose music but it also provides a very rich library of special effects, nature sounds, nature’s music

which gives your creative fancy, a little more flush.
