Non Sequitur: The Great Peep Experiment

Ever wonder what I do when I'm not working on VFX projects? 

Me too.

The ABYDOS: Incursion OST is Now Released!

It took my a couple years, but I've released the full OST on SoundCloud! The first movie was made up completely of free stock music, so that's why there isn't a release of that one. Anyway, this is actually a slight revision from the movie version, with some minor changes and edits through most of the tracks (though not all).  Save maybe the title theme, it's not particularly different--basically, if you liked the original you'll probably like this more; if you disliked it you might dislike this less; and if you didn't have much of an opinion on it... well, you probably won't after this either.  https://soundcloud.com/mxyl-valtapaz/sets/abydos-incursion-ost

New IB Epistemology Video, DaVinci Resolve, and The Adobe Post

Image
Hello all, Last October, my father (known to Zoom Times as the Grand Emperor of the Zoomlian Empire), a Theory of Knowledge teacher, learned that his school wanted a short video from each teacher in his program introducing prospective students to the program's various subjects. Having noticed that he has a video creator in the house and having a creative concept in mind, he approached me with an atypical script and asked about directing and editing the short film. As it turned out, I'd just recently acquired the video editor DaVinci Resolve and had been looking to test it out, and this helped me grab the basics of the program pretty quickly! This is mostly video editing (done completely in Resolve), although I did use After Effects for two shots, one compositing-focused and the other motion graphics-focused. I couldn't find any stock music that fit the tone my dad was looking for, but Lei Hart's "It's About Time" track worked perfectly, so I got permis...

Star Wars Custom Blu-ray Cover: 2011-Style Sequel Trilogy

Image
 For some reason or another, I've put After Effects on my list of favorite photo editors. It isn't meant to be used as one at all, but I find its style of masking, color correction, and effects rather useful and pleasant to work with. In one instance of this, I decided to use After Effects for a Sequel Trilogy cover that mimics the stylized look of 2011’s trilogy releases: I fit the printed cover (one draft, anyway) and the sequel disks into a spare 2013 6-disc Prequels case, which allowed me to have each two-disc Blu-ray set in one case, so the spine is a bit wider than the other two. There isn't a giant face on the front, as there is with the other two, but beyond that I feel like the official mural I used for the front cover aligns with the painted look of the other two pretty decently. Here's my latest version of the full image, complete with a couple of other changes for accuracy:  As the printed version shows, some space on either side will be cut off in the f...
