Check out my new video!

Check out my latest video!
Did this within an hour.
I decided to try out something new, stopmotion animation. So this is what I did, check it out .

Watch 1080p on YouTube for a better experience!

During the holidays, I will be on vacation and will be unable to update my blog constantly :) I am very sorry about that. I would still be writing posts, but not on time .

Meanwhile I would like to talk about the video me and my friend made "Ghost Team Ambush"
I was supposed to be the one who edit the video, create blood, bullet time and action effects with all those nerdy stuff... He ended up editing and uploading it without my consent.. Leading me to waste my hard work and dedication.
But I should not cry over spilt milk. Heres the video.
Without all those VFX and CGI.. I made using hours of my life.
This video made me cry literally.

We had a really good fight of whose channel we are gonna put this video in.

I am the Masked Assassin in the beginning
, the guy with the white Ghost mask wearing a gas mask, head phone and a light green hooded jacket.
And also I played the terrorist at the end too

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.

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 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.

I finally got a "Partial" Partnership from You Tube, Well that's what I think..
        Visit my channel :)             

Youtube implemented a new way partnership for new partners..
So I might get the full features like Custom Thumbnails, Custom Banners etc.   But google said they will include them
soon.
