  • Photoshop: Black and White to color

    I took a black and white stock photo from www.sxc.hu and turned it into a colored picture. The hair was the hardest part and is the main reason this took me so long. It took me 3 hours to do the whole thing. music- Come in Closer – Blue October

  • Line of Sight Test Ep 102: Photo on the Go with Joe McNally: Adorama Photography TV

    www.adorama.com Adorama Photography TV Presents Photo on the Go with Joe McNally. Join Joe in Hong Kong as he explains how to test the line of sight with a built-in camera flash and a SB-900 flash. Watch as he tests the strength of the built in flash to get the line of sight TTL transmission, and then uses his SB-900 as a commander in order to “talk” to the flash on his subject. It is important to use a TTL transmission when taking photographs of a subject that has a large depth of field. By using this technique, you can stack the background lighting and color in close to your subject in order to achieve the photo you need. The TTL transmission will make it easier for you to capture your subject from a distance.

  • Dreamy Theater 2nd – ?????????? [M=Hatsune Miku]

    Please read the Description Box/Info Box. .: Info about this Video :. Game Title: Project DIVA Dreamy Theater 2nd Platform: PlayStation 3 Developer: Sega Publisher: Sega Genre(s): Rhythm game Mode(s): Single-player Project DIVA is a rhythm game created by Sega and Crypton Future Media for the PlayStation Portable featuring the virtual-diva vocaloid Hatsune Miku. The gameplay is based on pressing buttons on the controller when floating gray button icons appear on top of the colored button icons. Project DIVA Dreamy Theater 2nd is an add-on of the sequel, Project Diva 2nd and now supported stereoscopic 3D display. Hatsune Miku (????) is a singing synthesizer application with a female persona, developed by Crypton Future Media. It uses Yamaha Corporation’s Vocaloid 2 synthesizing technology. The name of the character comes from a fusion of the Japanese for first (? hatsu), sound (? ne) and future (Miku (??) sounds like a nanori reading of future, ??, normally read as “mirai”), referring to her position as the first of Crypton’s “Character Vocal Series”. She was the second Vocaloid to be sold using the Vocaloid 2 engine and the first Japanese Vocaloid to use the Japanese version of the Vocaloid 2 engine. Her voice is sampled from Japanese voice actress, Saki Fujita. Hatsune Miku has performed onstage as a projection.

    LOVE TV, by Australian artist Rebecca McIntosh and art producer Victoria Johnstone, blended visual art, performance art and a talk show to invite New Yorkers to share their stories of life and love in New York City. LOVE TV explored the identity of people, places and diversity through the universal subject of love. The program followed artist Rebecca McIntosh, who posed as goddess Aphrodite, as she spoke with celebrities, musicians, historians, artists, local heroes and the public in her hot pink TV-shaped mobile studio. The performance encouraged creative conversation and provided the community with a chance to reclaim public space.

    By partnering with artists like Rebecca McIntosh, DOT’s Urban Art Program aimed to enhance and enrich the public’s experience at Summer Streets, a three day closure of Park Avenue for recreation held on Saturdays in August. The LOVE TV performances took place at Foley Square and Centre Street at Pearl Street. Performances were also held as part of Weekend Walks in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.

  • Flying with Belief

    This is a class project for my animation class that I did along with Aimee from my class. This is my 2nd independent project of the year (two more left and a collaboration project I’m leading, all in Blender and 3D). This project took a while to do and the character was made during Winterbreak which I planned to do a short animation with then but didn’t get time to so I brought it over as a project for the new year. The character is quite buggy both in topology and mesh problems as well as fur (which was made with out a subsurf then applied on top of one screwing it up a bit) and armature. Despite the problems in it I decide to go a head and make an animation with it! It turned out okay but not as greater as I would have liked it to, partly because I was really sick while finishing the animation and rendering part of it this weekend. In the project and parts at school I acted like a teacher to my friend Aimee and we both worked on it since so far in my class I am the only one who really understands Blender and 3D software in general… Even my teacher doesn’t understand it all yet ughs… Sorry for bad sound quality, if you turn down the sound you shouldn’t hear the weird sound in between the meows, that’s what I did while editing so I never heard it sadly. Rendered on 6 computers nodes, each approximately i7 core mutlithreaded 3.4 GHZ processors and 8 GB RAM (except for mine which has 16GB). Thank you for watching!
