Epic Randomness!!!!!!!!!

Get Ready to be confused, very confused. Everybody that I have shown this video to has been confused. Other side effects include dizziness, nausea, eye twitching, and loss of vision. Don't worry though, the effects eventually wear off, I'm just not sure when.

Anyway, you might recognize the set as the one I used in the CBA video. I liked it so much, that I decided to use it again for a completely different storyline. It took me about 90 minutes to film this, and another 90 to animate and edit it. Why did it take so long you ask? Well, I have to tell you this story before I explain (because I like telling stories).

April 7 was my birthday, and I was going to open the present from my parents before my Dad left for work in the morning. Well, when I woke up that morning, and I saw this big gift wrapped box sitting near the fireplace. I had no idea what it was and I was still pretty groggy from just getting out of bed, but my parents wanted me to open it, so I grabbed it and brought it over. I should have known it was something important when my Dad cringed as I dropped it with a thud in front of me, but again, I was groggy. So, I tear off the gift wrap, open the box and my jaw dropped.

Within the box, was an Apple iMac, something I have been asking for for awhile now. So, It took me longer to edit the movie because I was getting used to animating on Final Cut, which is a little harder than Vegas. I also figured out that my cheap computer mic does not show up on the Mac, so I had to use the internal mic, and it clicks when you change pitches too quickly.

I also got a little inspiration from my friends at Monty Python's Flying Circussssssssssssssss, so if you don't like british or literal humor, I suggest you skip this one. To those of you that haven't run away screaming yet, enjoy the video!

Freak Out!!!!

Sorry about my recent disappearance in the month of February, but I was doing a lot of stuff. Stuff that is top secret and must be kept from your eyes. Anyways, this next film is about a current event, something I would have no trouble filming about if I weren't so lazy. Instead of telling you what this current event is, I'm going to make you guess. Here's a hint: It's something you have been hearing about since January.

If you guessed the current CBA negotiations, then you win! If you didn't, better luck next time! I filmed and edited this yesterday, for the sake of posting it before the actual lockout begins, because then it would be old news. So, I would like to thank the people involved in the negotiations for making that 24-hour extension, I couldn't have done it without you!

This brings us to how the film was made. Well, it was made much like the chemistry project that I did, with one desk lamp. I thought the voice acting was alright under hurried circumstances, but it could have been better. This video features a few well-known owners, as well as commentator Joe BUCK! I hope you enjoy it.

Oh, and a word of warning to the NBA: Be afraid, be very afraid, because soon the Lockout Fairy might come and take YOU away too...

1.02 assignment

This is a project I did For chemistry. I had to talk about myself and some of the things I like to do. Since I really hate talking about myself, I decided to make a video with a Lego version of me. This is probably one of the best sets I have made, and I was able to control the lighting with a desk lamp, so you don't see my shadow in the background, like before.

I hope you enjoy this, and the music as well...

BOOM!!!!!!

As you may have guessed, this latest movie has explosions in it. In order to get explosions in a stop motion film, you have to be good at 3-D graphics, or just really sloppy on Microsoft Paint. I was the latter. Another thing that you need for explosions is sound effects because without them, you would just have really sloppily painted pictures with a bunch of silent Lego guys running around.

Anyway, I finally found my secret sound effect website that I had used during film camp last summer. No, I'm not going to tell you where it is because it's my secret sound effect website, dummy. So, all of the sound effects you hear are from my recently re-found website.

Also, this is my first film with my new HD camcorder. Now you may say: "How can this be in HD? It's still fuzzy." Listen, it was the way the video was exported, not the camera's picture that made this fuzzy! Remember that. I also used my new baseplate, to put all of the sets on it. That was a huge help, but it showed me how little wall pieces I really have. It was very disturbing.

Last thing: I know you see my hand at the end when the plane is taking off, but please don't look at it. I had to use both my hands to pick it up and I used my nose to take the pictures. My nose hurts now.
