    ]]>     Been having a really good time getting a better grasp at 3d modeling, rendering and animating. There is a lot that goes into all of it but once you start to see final products coming out, it really feels good. I can say that it has taken me longer to get good pieces out of 3d work than anything else I tried to create. Thankfully, I have been making post worthy stuff lately so thats pretty much the reason for this post. Please feel free to leave some comments in the post to let me know what you think. Rate the posts on my site as well, dont be too shy to join the blog community by giving feedback!

    ]]>     I woke up this morning a little bit earlier than usual because of stomach pains and such so I decided to get to some beat making. I had alot of cool ideas in my head and had to get some of them out. I jumped into the studio seat and started pounding at the keyboard and clicking at the mouse till I found something that sounded nice and melodic. I was enjoying it and right before time to go to work, since I am such an iFanBoy, I had to pull out my new iPhone again and just take a video of the area where I make my music as well as the melodic loop I made. Hope you guys enjoy it and please leave me some comments somewhere about it and maybe it will entice me to make more videos of possibly me in the studio doing a full production song from start to finish. Enjoy!

    ]]>     Ever since I got my iPhone 4 I have been itching to try it out in some of my real world freelance projects. I have been doing a lot of editing with any kind of camera you can think of to put together great product for a client of mine named David Axe that takes from iPod’s with video cameras to HD Sony cameras all over Afghanistan and other places. We put that stuff together to make great pieces, so why cant I take this new iPhone 4 with an amazing high definition camera that takes great? shots under the right circumstances? Well I could, I already lined up and talked a client into letting me shot part of his upcoming music video with it, another one wants me to do every part of the project using it and now I already got a wedding video done!

    The wedding video was not planned at all but came out decent enough for them to at least have their greatest moments captured in high quality for them. I was at a friends wedding when I realized I didn’t see anyone with a professional camera capturing this great day so I dug into my pocket and said I got this!

    It wasn’t the most pleasant thing in the world trying to keep my phone straight the whole time for a Catholic wedding but I did fairly well for an impromptu videography session. The best part about the whole thing was the quick  turnaround. I shot it at around 2pm, edited a good bit on the way back home and put the final touches a few hours later after hanging around the house. Now its a DVD for them, the day after! I will work on my equipment to get more smooth shots and be more steady with the camera and turn this into one of my production tools. Here is a quick clip of the highlights, Watch it in HD!!!

    ]]>     Just created a cool little commercial for some summer savings in jewelry. It was a fun project to do a little showing off on. They had a quick deadline so I gathered all the assets and knocked this commercial out in a few hours. Came out pretty good though I am still tweaking it for their needs, here is a version for you all to see!

    ]]>     I got to play with my friends iPhone 4 the other day while he was helping me move into my new house. I asked to try the iMovie editing feature out so ran around the house and grabbed footage of it. Very zoomed in and crappy but it was the first video to test it out. I dont like the wobbly effect you get when moving fast. I was in a hurry so there was no choice but to just grab something quick. I do like the editing features though!! More videos to come soon. Dont throw up watching this!

    ]]>     I was pleased to get a chance to guest host a podcast with a new friend of mine named Bryan. Met him through the tech circuit and we just seem to have alot of similar interests so he got me on his podcast. It was a good time and anyone that wants to hear the latest on things like Digg v4, the iPhone, Hulu Plus and our favorite summer tv shows, then go check out his podcast and listen to our episode. I hope to get on his podcast more because it really just felt nature and like talking to someone that had alot of the same knowledge as me with his own opinions which was great! Go support BryanSays Podcast and subscribe if you enjoy it! Thanks for your time
