The other day me and the TB were watching YouTube videos (TB is quite a fan of a few videos you can see around there) and we found some LEGO stop Motion super productions. Since that day we’ve been entertaining the idea of doing something like that.

Now… I might know my way around film making and am OK with editing stuff (although this is far from me speciality) and I am not stranger to the stop motion concept – I mean it has to be at least a bit similar to animating using flash, right??? WRONG!!!!

You have NO IDEA about the amount of patience you need to get the whole thing into place. What with the whole moving the characters frame by frame, positioning of the camera and light, managing your crew (specially if your crew consists of a hyperactive 5 year old) then photographing frame after frame… If you know me you will know that I believe patience is an incredible virtue but that patience is NOT a virtue I have to spare…

The script is simple: A group of lego clone troopers (let’s call them red squad) attempts to rescue the princess from the giant sleeping boy in the second floor of the house and return to the trooper carrier… In theory that as a simple idea, that would not take long at all to finish… in a more practical scale I am starting to believe I should scale down the thing… A LOT!!! hehehehe

Once you watch the clip I’ve made to test frame rate you will see what I mean with that… That was just a test I glued together… but now taking a look at it, the thing is scarring me shitless… :)

It took me between 4pm and 2am to do what you are going to see bellow… Well… I admit the project is ambitious… but hey… hehehehe

Hope you enjoy!!! (Any ideas… comments… etc etc etc… PLEASE COMMENT!!! :) )


zya!

I admit I understood like less than half of what they said in the song (it is in french) but if you are a coffee addict just like me you will LOVE this little clip… and like me agree THAT IS SO TRUE!

LOL

Git this video from GemmaK… I would like to say that I am not amused… but I’de be a liar… hehehe…

It is quite funny… sad but true… :)

At least I know I am not the only one… hehehehe

have a nice tuesday!

Today I am doing a Wedding!

And not just any wedding, it will be Kathia’s wedding (the one from the Hen Party I’ve attended to and has so much fun… don’t ask I’ll blog it later… :) )

It will be the first one I film in a professional capacity that doesn’t involve me sitting in a control room directing a couple of remote controlled cameras.

You can say I am as nervous as the bride… :)

Why???  Well… That can be a hell of a jump in my carreer… and God know I don;t want to screw it up…

I know I’ve been around cameras and filming crews for my whole life and that is not the first wedding I am filming per se… But still… Photography is so much simpler… and the thing with weddings is… you can’t just say “cut! let’s do this scene again from the top”…

I know I am stressing over nothing and that I am probably just pannicking like I do but hey… :)

The question is: How come I never have any of this BS when I am recording or photographing in studio??? How come I feel more at ease photographing a semi-naked strange than filming or shooting someone I’ve know for years?!?!?!

Yup… I am that difficult to understand… LOL.

Off to take a shower and wedge myself into a suit… Oh well… :)

zya!

Do you like Horror/mistery games? Are you a sci fi addict? Did you ever play Dead Space? Then you are gonna love this anime as well…

In the game when an immense mining ship, the USG Ishimura, comes into contact with a mysterious alien artifact in a remote star system, its communications with Earth are mysteriously cut off. Engineer Isaac Clarke is sent to repair the Ishimuras communications array, but he arrives to find a living nightmare—the ship is a floating bloodbath, the crew unspeakably mutilated and infected by an ancient alien scourge. Clarkes repair mission becomes one of survival as he fights not just to save himself, but to return the artifact to the planet at any cost.

Well… It wasn’t really my sort of thing… But you can expect LOADS of blood and gore in the Prequel explaning the the happenings of the Game with the same name.

I haven’t actually played the game on the XBox but I did play the promo game in http://www.noknownsurvivors.com a couple of months ago and it actually looked GREAT and that was anough to guarantee my attention to the movie. I kinda wanted to know what happens without having to think myself about all the alternatives… hehehe

A good waste of 72 minutes…  :)

Like anime? Well watch it and let me know what you think. The movie is availiable in DVD and Blue Ray.

3 out of 5 stars… :)

zya!
