So this month is the month where everything in my world is being shifted and moved all over Houston. Over the past week we've been moving everything from my old office to a new(er) one next to Sharpstown Mall. Its strange how ghetto an area can get after just one block. We're on the 19th floor, and I'm not great with heights. Upside is it has a big parking garage, which I ended up using to film a video with Lana. Lord knows when I'll ever have time to finish editing it.
Next weekend Planet Zero is hosting their SBO qualifiers for BlazBlue CS2 and SSF4AE. Should be interesting to see who takes it. The weekend after that is probably one of the busiest in the competitive gaming universe, Evo2k11 and MLG Anaheim are literally happening a state apart at the same time. Players from all over the world are coming for both events, and where will I be? Stuck in Houston working...
Oh well, I finally got into Google +

So I haven't written anything here in weeks, sorry. I've been working on some side projects and trying to get my stupid car working. This is like the 3 major catastrophe this car has had over the past year! Oh well, over the past week I've been working with my roommate DJ Tito, my friend Buddah and cosplay models Lana Marie, Ichi, and SuWan on a video that I'm submitting to A-Kon 22 for one of their film reels. You can see the finished product below on my Youtube channel.
I definitely feel I had a better grasp on what I wanted to achieve with the video versus my earlier ones. Besides the video frame rate correction, I understand a bit better on look, lighting, positioning, etc. Thanks to John Leigh for giving me tips on some plug ins for Adobe Premiere CS5. This was my first time using color correction, you see it with the girls scenes. I tried to make their scenes appear kind of dreamlike or just in some far off place. Also it helped mask the stupid cars in the background. The guys scenes I couldn't do much. I filmed them in my apt, and there just isn't enough light in there. Live and learn, next time I'll have to find a better location. I also need a mic. One day if I can manage some money I'll finally get one. But anyway, I got emails back from the A-Kon film guy and he liked the video so chances are good that you might see it on the A-Kon website or on A-Kon TV in Dallas during the con!
Below are some candid shots of the girls from the shoot, I'm doing interview articles on them for my Examiner column, so be sure to check those out!
