This marks our first Ableton Live project together, I (Brian) turned Lars onto Live not long ago. This tune was inspired by Wolfgang Gartner and Justice – the way all the bass sounds flow beside each other one at a time and how the grunge guitar synth compliments the beat in a sense. This is our first attempt at this kind of genre.

Secondly, it’s been a while since anything from us right? Here’s the low down of what’s up including myself in third person.
Michael - Busy/lazy, been working all the time and in his spare time he’d like to make video but instead he plays TF2 or gets drunk.
Rob and Zach - Both have background projects but really they’re hugely busy with work, Mass Effect 2 is out this year remember and they’ll be working their asses off no doubt.
Brian and Lars - They’ve been doing things for their blarsa.com website, it’s really cool actually, I enjoy listening to the music.
Filipe and Ben - .. I actually don’t know… I think Ben’s doing college stuff still and Filipe is working, maybe they can update us in the comments.
James - Though he’s not an official core lit fuse member, he’s a friend and he managed to secure a job at Bioware also, so good luck to him for that!

I might continue updating the blog even if I have nothing of machinima interest if you guys would prefer that to total deadness. If not, I can be caught at Facebook.com/michaelkc or twitter.com/michae1kc. Oh and I’ve got the unreal editor open right now, so it could take about 3 years for me to get something out, stay tuned!

We were going to have a singer do the vocals in a studio but she never got around to actually going to the studio. Oh well, computer generated vocals will do!

My Machinima ‘Pink and Blue’ that myself and Brian have been working very hard on needs a sexy poster as Filipe is rather busy. so i created a post:

This is some footage from an older project of mine, It was never finished because I could never hook a  compelling story into it. the reason for that was that this was mainly a learning project, so I was more concerned with mastering specific visual effects than actually creating a narrative. and as such I have this weird boring half movie that doesn’t go anywhere, there was a chase scene that happens after this , but it was really weak.  Some themes may still be used in a later film, maybe not, who knows? (answer : me knows)

been going ape in unreal this weekend (it’s a 4 day borefest) so I’ve been building some prefabs and materials and assets for a film I’m looking to slap together, I figured I’d forego the usual “nobody sees anything til it’s released” shctick, because I probably won’t finish this. Let me make it clear that what is depicted in this video is not a clip from the film, simply some slap up camerawork In a temporary level to show off the effect without showing off too much, that is all.

Time to take out the trash i suppose….

I’ve gone ahead and started uploading HD versions to the LIT FUSE youtube page so that we can have a proper youtube presence again. I’m really digging that HD embedding.

Looking for a style I hadn’t tried at before, here’s burgeur.

This is a look into the poster-design process, made up of the jpg saves I do along the way. In the future, expect timelapse-goodness that will certainly have a lot more to show. Like I said, don’t get your hopes up.

I did this in roughly an hour yesterday, using a mix of photos, screenshots, and hand-drawn elements by myself. The video actually fails to show the parts of the process I enjoyed the most, but it’ll do for now.

The song is called “Annie - Heartbeat (Living Lars Remix)”…Yes, the same fellow that makes all the awesome LFF songs. Check out his website at djlarsa.com, or drop by our music store, using the navigation at the top.

Oh yes, the actual video! Check it’s youtube page for the HD version.

And the finished product:

So went back into GTA4 today and pulled some more screwaround footage out. even though the video is pretty bland and unmotivated it’s still a great feeling to be editing footage again, getting back to feeling out the rhythm of cuts, and working with timing and such. This is just another goof off video, just throwing togehter some gameplay fluff. Mostly I looked at this as improving my own ability to follow the line during more frantic/reversing action sequences. I don’t think I really succeeded in that respect, if you look closely there are a few shots where I had to flip the image in order to respect the line, so you’ll see some backwards text for sure. There’s also a fancy(or goofy) little effects shot that brian pulled together, despite my consant harassment. he actually went on to improve that shot beyond the one I used in the video, it’s right below.
