Blues Festival

Hey, guys, here's some news from last night

I went to a Blues Festival. It was fantastic... it featured Little Albert Boogie Band and Diunna Greanleaf and Blue Mercy. They all played marvelously well, but it was Diunna and her band that got us dancing.

I took some pictures with my phone, but I haven't gotten the chance to put them on the computer, but I'll upload them later. The picture above shows Diunna Greenleaf & Blue Mercy playing at the 2008 American Folk Festival in Bangor, Maine.

It was really fantastic, Diunna had a great interaction with the public and awesome interaction on stage with the musicians.



It was really a great experience, and I can't wait to hear them again.

New Site

Hi

On Thursday, I made a VFX Test of an Energy Ball. It is the 1st VFX Test to be hosted on my new website, Lo-Budg Productions.

Here's the video, linking to the website.



Oh, by the way... happy Valentine's Day.

Lo-Budg Production Website in the works

Hey, everyone.

It's finally happened... a website. It's made in a free hosting site but I have no ads there, which is awesome...

It will serve as an archive for VFX Tests and, more importantly, High Resolution Video Tutorials about, not only Adobe After Effects, but Adobe Photoshop, Maxon Cinema 4D, and possibly others.

This blog will always be alive and I will keep updating it, I won't abandon it. I will still post details about what I do, in both personal life aspects and movie production aspects.

All you have to do is make sure that, while checking this blog, you check the Website from now on. I'll be making new blog posts as I create more videos and such and, instead of linking them to YouTube, or FileFront, I will upload some files to directly to the website server, such as zip files with High Resolution video tutorials and as for the videos, I will still upload them to YouTube and link them to my website.



The link to the, under-construction, website is this - Lo-Budg Productions

Happy 2009!

Hello, everyone!

Happy 2009! It's currently 12:27 AM as I am writing this and this is Day One of another year that God has given us!


I would like to thank all my readers, even if my theory is right and there are just, like, five of them :p...

Thank you for reading and I hope you keep on reading!

Physical Lightsaber Skills 2


Clone Fight


Some aspects worth mentioning about the second one:


- I did an overlap;
- This wasn't shot on Widescreen Format;
- There was no camera movement whatsoever;
- The camera was in a slightly tilted to the right position;
- I added sound effects - the 1st sound doesn't look too good, though...



More to come!
