8.BIT.BROS. - Successful 3D Match-Move Test!

Wanted to share with you guys a quick 3D match-move test I just finished. I haven't bothered to chroma-key little Carter just yet, but this is by far the most complicated of our moving green screen shots, so as you might imagine, I'm feeling pretty good about my After Effect skillzzz right about now. It's a real relief. Also, I put those boxes in for shits and giggles:

Please comment and tell me what you guys think!

Because I haven't posted anything in ages...

Ghostbusters re-cut in the style of Chris Nolan. Love the "reveal" at the end...

Texting and Driving PSA

Lisa has been adamant about me not texting and driving for some time. Have to admit I still do it from time to time, but I am getting better. This video is a little heavy handed, especially the last story, but worth a watch. Share it with people who text while driving if you want.

I wanna go riding.

I'm all for riding fixed. It really is fun and it gets you in shape pretty quick. Going up a hill without being able to change gears sucks. Anyhoo, this video kind of puts things in perspective. Reminds me of younger days with coaster brakes and contests to see who could leave the longest skid mark on the road.

Just Imagine the Possibilities

This Looks Effing Sweet

My exam is on the 17th, can't wait to Battlefield it up afterwards... By the way, we are VIPs right? I don't remember how that works.

The McGurk Effect

This all makes sense. I mean, of course it's going to change. But it still freaks me out. Enjoy!

Die 1000 Deaths!!

The So Cal Regionals tournament just wrapped up late last night (Nov. 7) after two full days of Capcom based ownage (mixed with a little Namco). The main game was of course Super Street Fighter IV with literally the BEST players in the world representing. Japan's Daigo "the Beast" Umehara [Ryu] lost to America's FilipinoChamp [Dhalsim] but the real showstopper came a few fights prior.
I've been watching Japanese Akuma player Tokido wreck unholy shop on youtube for a couple of months now so I was so pumped to see that he was competing in the So Cal Regionals. Nothing could have prepared me for the premeditated victory pose he unleashed on the unsuspecting crowd. The balls on this guy, to project Akuma's glowing back tat on to his own back after a game winning Ultra I! Its a GD shame that the live stream didnt pan over but the excitement in the crowd is palpable. Here is a seperate video from youtube that has a better angle. Last but not least, here is a compilation of some of his best stuff on the asian Xbox Live server.
