Mograph and Mospline celebrate Labor Day

Mograph and Mospline celebrate Labor Day …  being lazy with a formula effector

It’s so easy to create monster shapes that have life and detail -

Mograph, Mospline with a sampling of effectors. You can only get lost playing with all the possibilities. And I think you’re supposed to play on Labor Day, right ? Some of the interconnections in Cinema are a bit daunting at first and I’m only beginning to see the possibilities but

that’s part of the fun. You can do really cool things all along the way.

You can find this tutorial at Cineversity or many other similar searching for ‘effectors’ and/or ‘MoDynamics’

spline path – aliens need energy after all

spline path – aliens need energy after all

animating a spline path in C4D can be just about anything. Energy connections, cellular growth, ‘mystical’ writing.
Define your skeletal outline, add a shape for your spline’s body, parent them with a sweep nurbs – I’d do C4D just for the crazy shape names. I wanna be nurb when i grow up …..

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

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.

let’s Bubble with CS5, C4d and Trapcode P

let’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

Materials, Shaders, and Silver Linings

playing with materials and textures in C4d is fun. We play with light and color in other animation products, some texture is available but C4d imitates the world. Wood, marble, stone, flower offering an easy step to imitate life and have a little more time for your ideas.

The AE plugin was released quite recently and the experience of faster rendering, viewing video thumbnails – whatever their source, offers more time …

for the fun stuff.

the Win 7 software caught up with the avchd technology

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

I was so excited when I got my Canon Vixia …. about a year ago this time last year …

until I applied a mts file to my AE timeline and had to count to10 when scrolled the video … waiting for the display to catch up with me.

Nvidia’s marriage with Adobe in particular with Mercury Engine ( MPE )   in Premiere Pro changed this.  Hidef was endowed with real time editing with this one addition to your system but

now that I have my first Windows 7 experience it is a real pleasure to see an mts file with a representative thumbnails,

to open it directly from the folder display,  or to be able to play from the folder simply using Windows media.

These are ‘little things’ but make a tremendous contribution to your time when working with hi def, sampling and doing a little experimentation.
