Placeholder for Exegesis on Transference Simulation

During Winter quarter, I got in the habit of creating an “exegesis” post for each of my projects. They contained an inside look at the process behind the creation of the project, and my view of the conceptual ideas behind the film/video. Consider this a placeholder for just such an exceedingly extensive and detailed post [...]

Rough Cut

You can download my Rough Cut here. It is a 25MiB MP4 video file (MPEG4 AVC standard h.264 video, aac audio), which should play equally well in Quicktime and the VideoLAN Client. You can also download this file from a YouSendIt Post, in case the previous link did not work for you. The right-click, “save [...]

Compositing

For the past 15 hours pretty much straight (with a brief jaunt over to see how Chloé’s chessboard animations are going), I have been chairbound in front of my computer, compositing, tweaking, and aligning. I have everything pretty much polished and finalized up to 2:15. Unfortunately, I did not anticipate the brute-force labor that this [...]

Rough Rough Cut

Here is the rough rough cut that I showed at the critique session today. The file is an MP4 video file (24.9MiB), which you can easily download and view with VideoLan Client or Quicktime. I would very much appreciate anyone who downloads and watches it to give me scathing criticism on structure, shots that are [...]

Witty Abandon

I have decided to scrap my project, which is entirely too much work, and really just isn’t working. In its stead, there will be a 10 minute video quite similar to the following, but likely more seizure-inducing and horrible. just kidding. In all seriousness though, the compositing goes well, and very very slowly. Approximately 18 [...]

The Real Work Begins

Yesterday was spent fiddling with After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Live, tweaking all of the stuff I have done and making it better. I also experimented a good bit to finalize the process of inter-operating between AE and Premiere. Dynamic Link is nice, but boi do I wish I had 2GiB of ram instead of [...]

Roughly Edited Sequence, soundtrack

Here is the roughly edited sequence from my class critique session last Thursday. It is represents the summation of my work up to that point: about 2 minutes of soundtrack relatively complete, and 1:30 of video edited and composited roughly. In the first portion of the sequence of this sequence, the audio was created to [...]

A Conversation, and an Update on Progress

I made a very rough video in 1.5 hours, for a guy who was paying $15 per video you uploaded to his website, which is interestingly devoted to probing the phenomena of online instant message conversations through the medium of user-submitted re-enactment videos. Being somewhat intrigued by this idea, and somewhat poor, I submitted a [...]

Rushes, Adventures with Meat

The movie is 38MiB, so you may with to download it instead of streaming it. Get the latest Flash Player to see this player. [Javascript required to view Flash movie, please [...]

DVX100A Tests

Today I picked up the DVX100A, and performed about 10 minutes of test shots. The purpose of this was mostly to make sure that motion looked okay in 24p advanced pulldown mode, as Ben Stein was somewhat disparaging towards the capabilities of 24p. Having performed initial experiments, I can say that it looks beautiful compared [...]
