This little short was contrived whilst i was teaching myself matchmoving. I think i made every mistake that was possible to make whilst creating this, but at least i have the process dialed into my brain now. The softwares i used to make it are blender(3d) and icarus(3d tracker) you can get both of these applications for free although icarus is for non-commercial work only. Basically you take your shot into icarus and you track a number of areas of your footage, find out your camera’s focal length and location in 3d space, then you take that information acquired by icarus into blender and your camera’s location relative to the objects you filmed are matched and the camera path is already set for you, so then you add your cg elements to the scene and animate them how ever you like. All that’s left then is compositing the original footage with the cg footage in After Effects.

Here’s a little instrumental song i wrote, hope to record it properly soon either by myself or as a band, and add a bit more depth and layer to it. This is sort of an experiment in posting this as i can create these videos more often in-between my other video experiments, animation etc… i’m not sure what sort of response this sort of video will get here, if it’s good, then i’ll do more variations like this from time to time, plus play different genres, and if it’s not received that well then i’ll get the picture and stick to what i’ve been doing.
Short abstract video created using iStopMotion and the iSight camera on my macbook, wasn’t sure whether to post this or not but decided for because i like the audio (and plus am feeling guilty for lack of posts). Working on some cool songs and videos (lengthier) at the moment that i’m really excited about and can’t wait to post, stay tuned i’ll try to post more regularly from now on!
This is the final project of my second year at GCADT/ CSCCI (Digital Video Design/ Interactive and Motion Design). I decided to do a dvd menu for ‘Planet Terror‘ because i’m a big fan of the director (Robert Rodriguez) and the ‘Grindhouse‘ revival concept, plus it’s my favourite of the two movies.
Ok this is a very short video post. This uni project is a late night, popcorn movie ident for Channel Five. I made it in one night, i’ll post some longer videos soon, i am on my final project of year two at the moment. So have alot to do these next 4 weeks.
