GoPro Slow Mo Car Wash

Car wash in slow motion with a GoPro Hero 3+ Black.  I filmed at 720p 120fps and extended the clips more in After Effects.  I used Instant 4K on some of the clips so I could zoom in.

Demystifying Old Photos with Lightroom

Compare003

I’ve been playing about with the new Dehaze feature in Lightroom CC 2015.  Its a great feature that’s almost like magic!

Here are some old photos that I’ve used the new feature on, along with some other adjustments.  The photos have been taken with a video camera, an old camera phone and a 35mm camera.

Time Lapse Clouds

Here is a time lapse video of some clouds.  I shot in Raw format so I could correct any mistakes later in Lightroom.  I used a interval timer remote which I set to take photos every 3 or 15 seconds depending on conditions.  In After Effects I used time remapping to extend the clips a bit.  It was fun to do and hope to do some more time lapse soon.

Star Light – Attempting Night Photography

Star Light, Star Bright.

Here are my first attempts at photographing the night sky.  I played with the settings on the camera but kept to – f/4 ISO 640 and Exposure time of 25 seconds, as they seemed to give the best results.  I also shot RAW so I could make more adjustments in Photoshop.

May The 4th Be With You

It’s Star Wars day so May The 4th Be With You!

New Showreel (Number 4)

This is my 4th Showreel and includes clips from –

  •     Personal projects

  •     Short films

  •     Future Pro Wrestling (FPW)

  •     This is Progress (Wrestler entrance animations).

Software used – After Effects, and 3D Studio Max.  Plugins used -Trapcode Plugins and Element 3D

 

Wrestling Lines

I used the roto brush in After Effects to isolate the wrestlers, then opened the video in Photoshop and applied the Fractalius filter.  I then added some animated Trapcode 3D Stroke in After Effects to give the sequence something to start from.

DNA Animation

Here is a short animation of some blood cells and zooming in to reveal some DNA.  The DNA is made up of spheres and cylinders in Element 3D, I then used the Twist deform to twist them.  The Heat Distortion plugin was used to simulate being in liquid.

The Stiff Goodbye Short Film

A short film made a few years ago.  Upscaled to 720p, also adjusted the contrast and added a soft glow to add to the film noir look.

Synopsis: A case of mistaken identity, a murder,a dame.  Archibald (Michael Johnston) is your average, well-dressed pizza delivery boy, until he meets the woman of his dreams (Zoe Chapman), and his life changes forever.
