  1. Simple, but very nice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJIF0xhR0-E...feature=related
  2. Hey I updated the Songstuff YouTube Channel, and if you have posted any videos let us know here, so we can add them to our playlists etc.
  3. Pretty cool when you think about some possibilities lurking just around the corner. Still a bit simple ATM - but that might change quickly... http://www.webmonkey.com/blog/Make_the_Web...New_Ubiquity_UI
  4. They are a waste of money. If you want to upgrade your older cards, and like me prefer Nvidia over ATI, go for a 9000 series card. The performance differences are TREMENDOUS. So if you have the choice between a 55 euro 8600 or a 110 euro 9600, the latter will be a much better choice. It will run circles around the 8600, no joke. (this has to do with the memory controller addressing, which should be 256 bits, not 128-bit like in the 8000 series (with the occasional 192-bit). So even a 7900 with 256 bits will outperform a 8600, even though the GPU is of a later date. If you do games, or have applications that use OpenGL rendering (videoprograms!) you want to really take notice of this fact, or you will probably wonder why your new card isn't as much of an improvement, as you had hoped.
  5. Well, if you consider the fact that was all pre-Star Trek and all that. That Joe Meek was quite a character, BTW. Years and years ahead of the competition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Meek
  6. Strangely, even metal rock works, if you toss in some folk. If it weren't for the grunts, I would actually dig this:
  7. Nothing has changed in half a century anyway, is a nice one, although I would have done it all in B/W probably. Nice tune, BTW - not bad at all. I guess the synching must have been some work, indeed. Not all video editing software is equal, there.
  8. Very interesting article, I think most gamers are very familiar with the phenomeon: http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/08/irish-game-musi.html Here's a marvelous example: Creid by Yasunori Mitsuda (Xenogears CREID Album) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CAqKY2yvNc
  9. Ofcourse, with After Effects tossed into the equation, what you can do with a greenscreen becomes even more interesting:
  10. Yeah, I was quite surprised as well. Care to be a bit more specific about his errors? I love that cr... uft.
  11. although I *knew* I'd seen that intro before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzEadbTCKDA
  12. BTW do not be fooled by how simplistic my example was - with the right tools it's amazingly powerful - you'd never think this clip was all done in that way: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/on...ll/3d_world.php
  13. I really like that Inky concept - 'sloppy syntax - rich feedback'. Does assume a mind that can make very rapid yes/no decisions, I think. Suits me fine, actually.
  14. Inter(t)esting But, seeing is believing... http://www.technologyreview.com/Infotech/2...id=1268&a=f
  15. First ones, yes. Once you have the models for the main characters sussed, the 2nd and later ones become ever-easier. You also build up a library of 're-usable' stuff fast.
  16. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJYPaNYS958 Animation featuring a blender, not made *with* Blender, although it easily could have been (that LokoTV has more interesting animations BTW)
  17. And just placed the order - turned out to be their *last* copy. Guess it sortof had my name on it * Adobe After Effects 7.0 Professional * Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 * Adobe Photoshop CS2 * Adobe Audition 2.0 * Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 * Adobe Illustrator CS2 * Flash Professional 8 not the latest versions, but so's my computer
  18. Yeayy! I just got the 'financing' organised, so I am one happy camper.
  19. The DFF was created in 2007 to celebrate the best of disposable video: short films made on non-professional devices such as one-time use video cameras, cell phones, point and shoot cameras, webcams, and other inexpensive, readily available video capture devices. With people everywhere posting videos online, we felt the time was right to draw attention to the creative potential of this new mode of filmmaking. Far beyond its initial roles for video blogging and documentation, the DFF offers a forum to display how disposable media can be used for creative purposes. The DFF hosts screenings, competitions, and other events to showcase the best work within the disposable genre.
  20. Yes, that helps. The background screen should ideally be just one colour, as pure as you can find it. That way the selection process is doable. You really want contrast. If you would be doing say blue-metallic spaceship models, you could actually prefer a *red* background screen, and paint in the starry background later - that is *not* black at all, and even if it would be, it's not as good a contrast for dark-blue.
  21. Yeah the background was some indeterminate colour in between green and blue - meaning jeans fade into oblvion as well
  22. Green screening (or blue) is a technique that lets you remove the background in a video and put in another one, because the original background was one colour (hopefully). The idea is to find a screen that is as close to pure green (00FF00) or blue (0000FF). That way, if the person at least is not wearing any of those colours, his skin will not 'merge' with the background when you remove that colour from the picture - because that is basically what you do - removing a single colour, with a sensitivity slider so you can do it quite precisely. Here's a simple home-spun version shot yesterday with just a blue/greenish wall (far from perfect), and my son with a didgeredoo. So I pasted in Uluru in the background, of couse. Hope this shows the idea, and gives you some - as you can see you hardly need anything for it. http://roflcopter.eu/dump/tjeerd_player.html
  23. Interesting, must check it out (btw the 1st link is inoperative, it has a ] at the end) Like your entry BTW.
