Not dead

This blog isn’t dead. Well, not really. Originally I used this to show my little videos, but unfortunately there was no time for doing new vfx-shots (my little boy is very time consuming).

Hi-Def Version at Stage6  here.

Stage6

I just tried the streaming service Stage6 and I have to say: Great! It’s a fantastic possibility to stream videos in high-def (not that youtube crap). Unfortunately I didn’t find a way to include that into a wordpress posting.

Ok, here is our duel in better quality: http://stage6.divx.com/members/470379/videos/1105732#

OBC logo

Uh, I totally forgot about that. I created this little clip some time ago, but there were no possibility to use it. :-)
I found the tutorial at ayato@web.

energy shield

My attempt of simulating an energy shield. The great tutorial (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) is from Stephen Schleicher at digitalmedianet.com.

UPDATE: I played around with the clip, so here is a new version :  Read the rest of this entry »
