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
Saturday, August 7th, 2010vimeo - today
so … are you guys working ??
Thursday, August 5th, 2010my 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 ….
Try a little sorenson – squeeze … that is… don’t forget 360
Saturday, July 17th, 2010is 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
another cube
Sunday, July 11th, 2010with a little timing, a little more preview of these short animations, it was much easier to coordinate the faces,
and with a some marble columns, a little more Roman too. Pick the marble material from the Cinema4D library, or create your own if you like, map your movies to your cube faces, choose ’separate faces’ before you make your cube editable,
and you’re well on you way to a simple way to let your 3D share multiple movies with your viewers
Cinema 4D video cube
Saturday, July 10th, 2010borrowed 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.
Clover and Sorenson
Thursday, July 1st, 2010I like cartoon to blend reality and have recently been using Sorenson. Squeeze mp4 over flv
we’ll see ~
C4D curves, splines, and flight paths
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010easy 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.
UFO – Acoustica Mixcraft 5 meets C4d and AE
Sunday, June 13th, 2010UFO – 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.
let’s Bubble with CS5, C4d and Trapcode P
Saturday, June 12th, 2010let’s Bubble with CS5, C4d and Trapcode P
Exploring Cinema 4d’s material options can take you into world’s you’ve never gone before. Texture, reflections, luminance blend to produce more than a look but a feel and a mood and very easily an other worldly atmosphere.
We love textures, we love our hidden associations that inspire us, or scare us, or attract us, or mesmerize
it is so easy to cross reality and map our dreams in visions
…. perhaps the only limit within apparitions
