Crappy attempt at Lightsaber effect

Ok, So after like 2 hours of staring straight at the monitor, I came up with this. I realise Its not perfect, but its my first attempt, so who gives a ball. I'm actually happy with the way it turned out, Theres just a few frames where you can tell I didn't put a keyframe in, but I guess that was my bad. Here it is.

6 days..Yo.

So, it's been 6 days since my last post, what can I say, I've been kind of..'busy'. I've had the AE training window open for days, and haven't tried anything out yet, I really should though, but I have watched a few 'basics' videos, from this website, which is pretty damn helpful, some things they offer to buy, such as small plug-ins for AE, sound effects, or how to create a 3d bullet in a live action footage. There are also basics tutorials, which can be found here. Uber helpful stuff.

On another note, listening to Black Stone Cherry at the mo, new album. So far so good.

I'll update later, yo.

Away from home.

Aite, so check it, I'm at my cousins, thinking about special effect video thingys. I figured I should write them here in case I forget them.

- More research on After Effects effects.
- Watch examples of othr special effect videos.
- tutorials.
- bleh

That was for my benefit. So there.

Lightsaber

Ok, well this has annoyed me. So I just gave up. I'll probably revisit it at some point, but screw it at the mo.

Thanks Rabbit for the comment, I'm actually gonna rework the hand lightning thing, its pretty fun.

Well, I'm gonna head off to work, then I'm spending a couple of days with my cousins. I'll try and update via my phone, otherwise I'll continue on wednesday.

Lightning Kazed.

Ok, so after a day of trying, heres what I came up with. Keeping in mind I had no clue how to use AE prior to this, so meh.

Army of Research.

Played a little Xbox, finished Army of Two, been playing it for a few days, good game. Good game. It only took me the entire game to realise you only get achievements for the missions on Contractor difficulty. But thats another story.

Anyway, gonna begin doing some research on how to add special effects to videos n sitch. See how difficult this crap will be. Maybe it won't be that hard, but who knows. I also got a letter today telling me I have a confirmed place at NTU. Yay. Now I actually need to drive down there. See how the hell to get there. Anyway, peace. Later.

Plans for next 'Project' and other stuff.

So I've begun writing notes down for another project of mine, I've had god knows how many 'projects', some of which I haven't even started/finished. Anyway, The one Ii've started making notes on invloves me. That's all I'll say. Wouldn't want any info to leak out. *Sarcastic face*

Bleh, enough on that though, lets talk about things that annoy the crap outta me. You know what I hate? When people say their into 'all kinds of music' then you ask em if they like Rock..then they say 'eww no. I hate rock' What the HELL is that? Like, for realsies, that doesn't classify as ANYTHING. So gay. You know what else I hate? Alot of things. ALOT. We'll come to that a little later on.

Let's talk about my project again. We'll call it 'Untitled project from Kazed' oh yeah. Eat your heart out default file names from Microsoft Paint. Ok, so from reading it back to myself again, it sounds like a pretty dumb idea, but then..it could still work. But then, who cares..? Not even sure if my other YouTube videos worked, but hey, what can you do. Heres one for yous.

Morning, yo.

Aite, so its 11:57am. At least, it is where I am. So I was reviewing some of the blogs that some of the students down in NTU wrote for their Multimedia course. Some pretty good stuff on there, I love the whole idea of doing something I'm gonna enjoy the crap out of for 3 years, and actually gettting something out of it.

So I'm watching 30 Rock at the moment, I actually left this show last year sometime, mainly because I began watching like 4 shows at one time. Kind of got overloaded with taking in plot points etc. So like now, I've just finished watching how i met your mother, which I enjoyed. Alot. I don't know what exactly dragged me into the show, some of the jokes were real lame, Jason Segel was quite 'unfunny'..his jokes- No..His "jokes" were lame as balls. But enough on that, we'll return to that soon.

Lets talk more on why I began a blog. Well, for the course I'll be studying at University, Multimedia, they encourage us to keep a blog for thoughts and feelings. Yay. We'll see how it actually goes.

Anyway, that was my first offical post I guess.

K2010

First EVER post. Awesome.

I figured I'd make a blog. Why? I'll tell you that later. Its my first time. Right now, it's pretty damn late, so I'll continue this in the morning. Doubt this has even been discovered yet. It'll be fun.
