Breaking the camera out!

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Ever since I first got my camera,the Canon XH A1, I really haven’t taken full advantage of all the features until recently. So in this post i have compiled all the tests that I have posted online over the past year, in order or date shot from old to new, and included a short description of what i believe to have done wrong and how to better my skills for next time.

I am actually very happy with the way this came out. Although only 10 seconds long the quality of this piece is very good, the audio was added in post, there is a slight sign of depth-of-field (even if accidental), and I did only a tiny bit of color correction.

Got my first tattoo!

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

June 6th was my 20th birthday, so i decided to get my first tattoo. I have wanted to get a tattoo of Astro Boy for years now and I finally did. I went to Sudden Urge and you can see a photo below.

I am going to continue to add to this and will keep updating as I add. I want to thank Liz at Sudden Urge for doing a such an amazing job.

I haven’t really decided on what direction I’m going to be taking this blog in yet. But I knew from the start I wanted to post on topics that have inspired or impressed me. For my first post in this category I choice Chris Milk’s “Last Day Dream”. I have watched this video several times over and It still has the same impact as it did on the first time I viewed it. I hope you enjoy it as well.
