I've finally got the new props I wanted for shooting videos..
as seen in the upcoming home made video Ghost Team Ambush.

- A gas mask from Ace Hardware shop with canisters
Cost : 9$
- A ghost mask from "Sungei Wang" (mall)
Cost : 13$

22$ For two props, do you think its worth it? I dunno, these are the most cheapest one I can find.
The others costs over 50$ , and I an't gonna buy a Military class gas mask that cost over 500$ just for shooting videos. I'll only get them when the world is in danger of a "Nuclear Fallout".

 The gas mask from ace hardware really does it's job although it might feel crappy and plastic , all you need to do is to buy the add-on filter canisters that cost around 1$ each. It filters out stuff that are not radio active such as
dust, tear gas etc.

As for the ghost mask ( Not sure what to call it, but it resembles ghost from MW2 ) , surprisingly, you can breathe well while wearing the mask. The only bad thing I know is that the mask covers your ear and you can't hear properly.

Why not consider buying yourself some legit nuclear gas masks to protect your beloved family and friends from the possible upcoming disasters or warfare?
Be a doomsday prepper :)

        I will be uploading a new video to Youtube Soon, So stay tuned and sorry about the delay on my blog, I was very busy with examinations in my school. Many thanks for visiting this blog!

               Heres a picture of me playing as my second character in the video. A "Ghost Force" soldier, basically something like the Swat team + SAS.  I also play the Assassin in the first part of the video. But I did not manage to take a picture of it yet. So stay tuned.

Raining Is Awesome

    Waking up very early after a very late night sleep in my friends sleepover. I don't really know how I woke up without an alarm but usually I am a very deep sleeper.

     It has been raining everyday for days. So consistent that I can even predict when it will rain. If it starts raining aound 6 or 7pm, the sky would appear very dark and grey, a zombie apocalypse like colour or something like that.

   For the past few days, I've been feeling relaxed because my school exams are finish and most importantly it rains everyday!

    To be honest , I love thunderstorms and raining. It will be better if I am indoor of course.



 
 

Ahh Mimosa Plant. The plant that will play dead with me when I touched it. I was on my way to the park when suddenly I saw a bunch of Mimosa on the ground. So I decided to touch it and even take a random picture of it.        

Hey Guys, I've uploaded my first VFX video on YouTube, it is Named  "BoomsDay Comrades"
This video is basically about two Navy Seals sent n a mission to disarm the nuclear silos , and have been disturbed by an RPG attack.


Watch it
Enjoy!
I will truly appreciate it.

 This is my first 3D CGI Animation with motion tracking. Its not perfect but still take a look.
Don't mind the intro.. I made a mistake by making it too long.

Animated in Blender, Tracked in Mocha, And Edited in IMovie + After effects cs6

       I watched youtube VFX videos since I was young from these youtube Filmmakers : Freddiew, Corridor Digital, Pwnisher, Film Riot and so on.

  A few months ago, I started to know more about 3D CGI VFX From tutorials and introductions.
After almost two or three years of watching the 3D CGI they put into the video , for example, A tank, A plane or even a terminator.  I finally downloaded blender, At first I was so eager to try out this amazing peace of software that I don't even know where to start. So, I watched the tutorials on blender and finally got to animate a simple droid.  But the problem is, I have no idea how to motion track properly in after effects. Every single time I motion track, Its not perfect.

   Luckily , I came across VideoCoPilot's Andrew Kramers tutorial on Magic Tracking, Which uses the software that after effects included "Mocha CS6" .  And I've finally created my own short video with a simple 3d model in it..

In the future, I will create more videos with 3d models, Like Tanks in war videos or something like that..

I've added a DMCA badge . :)
I am just paranoid of posting my videos and such online without copyright protection .
If you have a blog, and you are afraid of having content stolen

Maybe in the future.. I would share pictures and videos.. But I am not ready for it yet xD

Look at this awesome weather I took when I was playing frisbee in the park. It was only 7pm

   I finally get my hands on 3D modelling.  Here is a Basic Animation of a "Star Wars Fighter"  I am sorry because its hard to see, the black background is meant to be keyed out in after effects 
its my first attempt at animations. 

Blender , Is a very hard software for me to use in the beginning , but as I kept playing around with it and looking at tutorials. Its actually not that hard.. I am still a beginner though. 

You can get Blender for free, it's available in Mac, Windows, and Even Linux. 

Its almost like a Free version of 3DMAX and Cinema 4D.


In my opinion , it's a very good 3D software to start on.
