Pixelation Hearts

This is something I had on the back-burner for good while, but I finally got to work on it. It's my first time working with pixelation. I like this style of animation a lot. I'm definitely going work on more videos like this in the future.

Psychedelic Ambitions

Same video, but I pulled it from a finished product. Which was a little tricky, because the pixels were "enhanced" when I open it in Movie Maker. So I had to split up certain parts and change the music. That too took a little figuring out. As for the "enhancement", I used a program that was supposed to smooth out the pixels. What I received however made it worse. The pixels looked like some local public television produced video from the early '90s. Phew! So I figured I'd just play around with it.

New Video Post

So I went around Bell Island for the day and was searching for pictures to take of graffiti tags. The search lead me to some aging building that used to be a part of the old power station in Richmond. I stepped inside and was surrounded in a flurry of feathery seeds. The seem to have come from the trees, but I'm not really sure what kind though. It was such a beautiful and serene moment, I just had to capture on video. However, like watching a pot boil, it would never start until I put my camera away. But I am patient, and or stubborn. I wasn't leaving until I got enough footage to use.

I haven't made video in probably a few years now, not since the old blog at least. But that was due to a lot of computer issues I was having. Now I'm back in the game! The camera I've been using is a crappy little digital camera, but it does the trick. I'm having trouble with heavy pixelation being shown in the video, and I haven't found the right program to fix it. If anyone has any suggestions, I would very much appreciate it. I thought using the slow motion technique would help make it more dramatic, and also extend the film a bit, after I cut unnecessary parts from each scene. If you have suggestions for that, I'm all ears. Anyways, enjoy.

Push!

It's obvious that I'm trying, but I seem to get held up by a lot of inconveniences, or distracted by things that have a great pull on my being that keep me from getting any of my projects done. However, I have overcome those byproducts that were manifested from those ill feelings. They have diverted my attention to what I need to do for myself. Two words: Build Yrself. This was the personal campaign that I started with once I moved to this city, and I will continue on with it until the foundation is strong enough. It might seem like I'm scolding myself every time I lose insight, but I feel it helps motivate me. I'm not trying to be self-deprecating, I get a little angry at myself about what I could be doing right now. Anger is a tool for my motivation, and creativity. Though it is not my only tool, for the other one is love. The two emotions are extremes, but not necessarily of each other, are engines to my ambition. If I behave neutral, or become comfortable with being complacent. The fire inside my heart becomes quelled, and my drive becomes lost in limbo. So I encourage those creative types out there. Beware of becoming too comfortable, because you will lose sight of what drives you.

Practical Solemn Moments

Returning back from the land of digital purgatory, I have once again achieved at obtaining internet in my homestead. I'm going to finish up on my International Stop-motion animation series in the near future. However in the mean-time, I have some photos to share that were taken in the urban landscape of this fair city of Richmond.
