Bike Park

A man's final thoughts at the local bike park.

Spring Slide Rails

Finally, fun video experiments. It's been about 2 months now. Still getting grips with my new job.

 

My office has a slide rail. This isn't my first time using one, but this is my first time really ever just doing my own junk with it. I'm not a super-pro with it, clearly. My speed has mixed variables. I'll work on it. We'll see. It'll get better!

 

It was, basically, the first truly warm day of Spring up here in The Capital Region. Edmonton. Typically, I have no issue with cold weather, because I'm a Canadian. However, my fingers hate it. Camera operation in -20c? "No way, bruhs," they scream at me.

 

Used our big, fat behemoth of a tripod. Thing might as well be a gorilla it's so large. For a rig, I used my Canon 60d with it's kit 18-135mm lens. For post-production, I rocked it in Adobe Premiere Pro, just like always.

Found YYC Footage Teaser

In 2011, a bunch of bruh's headed to Calgary Entertainment expo, and decided to document the entire trip. They died, thus, this is the found footage! I wasn't sure whether or not to post this to my actual website, or whether or not to make this video Private or not. In the end, I got too good of critiques about it to not post it. "It's fun," I've heard directly, and it totally is. Once my bigger, badder project, Building Edmonton Ep. 2 is in the bin, I'm totally going to cut this into a living, breathing found-footy film.

36 Crazy Building Edmonton Edits

The final product is 36 minutes long, and it's a heck of an interview with Patrick Mah of Blue Willow Restaurant in Oliver, Edmonton. As a spur of the moment thing, I decided to wield my iPhone as a camera and show the world exactly how many cuts and edits went into this dealy-majigger.

And given the nature of the video, I found it prudent to use my distinct "tutorial voice" for this video. I knew you'd all find it a ton more professional.

Is it just me, or does only one dude voice every media tool tutorial on the internet? Not that I'm complaining. His dulcet tones have set me to slumber on more than one occasion...

Environment WIP Render

aIn the middle of texturing this home not to far from where I live. Originally, I just wanted to model the powerbox on the snow covered lawn, but my photo references of it also included the yard, so I started making that, too. I mean, a power box is simple and interesting looking, but then I made snow, and then I made the fence, and then I made a house and deck. I can't wait to start the trees.

The thing that bugs me the most are is the bay window. I'm going to have to make that more creative looking. What a boring home, otherwise, eh?
