Light Painting

So I finally got round to dabbling into some light painting some of the outcomes you can come out with are incredible,this effect is created by selecting a really long shutter speed for example 10 seconds depending on how long you think it will take to create your drawing check out the image's below.

Shutter Speed

 

It is interesting what effects you can create with high shutter speeds today using a shutter speed of 1/4000     

managed to capture this water fountain in all its glory more to follow.

3D

So I am still debating what 3d package to go into with the many avaliable such as 3d's max,Cinema 4D,Maya etc lets see how long it will take ...

Avatar

So I got the Avatar collectors edition for christmas and it got me thinking how much this film has changed the way we see Visual effect's. James Cameron has managed to do it without taking a trip down the Uncanny Valley. It's essentially the same motion capture technology that has been used in film and computer games for years but a lot more advanced with the ability to not only track the body of the actor's but also there facial expression's which helps give the whole animation a more generic look.Another thing cameron has come up with is the "Simulcam" which allows him to see a low resolution outcomes of all the visual effects live so for example a greenscreen would be replaced with a background this saves a lot of time as they can see it live they don't need to get it sent off for a week and wait around twiddling there thumbs for a finished render to find out it isn't what they wanted .The effects in this film are simply breathtaking take a look for yourself.

Sooouunndd!

As a avid gamer most of my time recently has been lost to EA Games Battlefield bad company 2 this games sound design is simply mind blowing,the shudder from tank shells to the whizzing of bullets to my squad mates screaming orders. For the first time playing a game I felt completely immersed in my surroundings.It is this level of commitment to the sound design which makes this game truly epic so do yourself a favour pick this one up!.
