This Week

Okay, so you know I said I would take post pictures of my entire week once I found my thumb-drive ... Well, I think I have a bigger brother than just my missing thumb-drive. I may be missing my whole camera! The last time I remember having it was when I left Mae's house after her birthday party. Or did I? I left it around her house often and I had to catch myself before leaving it in places I would never retrieved it from again. So I could have left it there. But for some reason my mind is telling me that I brought it home with me and threw it on my bed and it ould have feel off into the mess that is my room but I looked around my room for places it most likely is and I can't find it anywhere. Tomorrow is Tuesday and since the next day I have no school because I have a field trip I'll do a more thorough search, and hopefully I'll find it. I've ruled out that I left it at Mae's because the people there were nice and she would have told me if I had left it and I do remember taking it with me. Usually I break my camera and can get a new one but I've never lost one before and there is no way of getting it back now that I have no camera to give to Canon so they can give me another :(

Looks like I'll be doing some major cleaning tomorrow.

Peace

Bleyer Productions

So I've been keeping this documentary I've been helping my friend work on that covers the events of the "Hamilton Shit List" that took place two weeks ago before Spring Break under wraps. AJ, the other filmmaker whom I'm working with, has got it all edited and I'm going to add some fancy smancy titles to it with some cool credits (or at least I hope I make them cool!)

So, after I watched his first edit (which was extremely well done) I asked him if he had an intro video. I told him I had one with monkies flying through the air (it only appeared in one of my films called "Puzzle Search" and maybe one other place I can't think of). But in any case, he said "no" and that all he ever used was a plain black background with white text over. So I'm like "I'll hook you up with an opening title animation" and he was excited and said thank you and that's what I've been working on since I got home (but I NEED to stop because I have to start studying for a Government Exam tomorrow). Below are pictures of some of the process and then below them is a short video preview of his credits which still need a few more touch ups :)

I started by tracking his left eye so I could place the letters that spelled "eye" would seem like they were inside his eye. It's a very subtle effect but it's there.

Then I put some shadow in it.

Then I wrote in the whole name.






OH by they way. In P.E. today my friend got his clothes peed on through his locker (pictures later) and I ran a 7:19 mile!

April Fool's and New March Banner

So a few of my favorite sites played April Fools. TFN Boards try to pass of as Atom Films
MuggleNet passed of false info on JK Rowling's Harry Potter Encyclopedia.



This guy said Windows Vista was good on these boards. Great April Fool's joke right? ... wait ... what's that? ... He wasn't joking ... Oh ...
