NEW DSLR CAMERA

2011-02-14T20:04:00.000-08:00

Well, I just bought a used Canon XSi Digital SLR camera.

I am still learning the functions and tricks, but I have tried it with stop motion pro and it works flawlessly.
The quality is fantastic, and being able to control focus is very useful.
Unfortunately, I will now need to re-shoot a very large amount of animation in this higher quality. This includes the 1000 subscribers video, so that video will now take a little while longer.
The upside though, is that you can expect much higher quality animations!

Thanks!

1000 Subscribers!

2011-02-06T20:52:00.000-08:00

Thank you viewers for 1000 youtube subscribers! I didn't ever think I would get this far when I started, but the ball is really rolling now.
I am getting paid offers for animation and everything.
I posted a bulletin on youtube also.
Congrats to the 1000th subscriber: silverstareb!
I will think of some kind of prize for you!

Expect a video commemorating this milestone shortly, I m really busy, but I will throw something together in the next few days.

Thanks, and invite some people to read this blog!

New Projects

2011-01-27T16:25:00.000-08:00

I am still working on a few projects at the moment.
These include:
-Thinking Putty animation
-Citizens of Tomorrow music video
-Fun trippy morphs set to music by Mega Cubensis (my new band project)
- SUPER SECRET 1000 SUBS VID!

That's right, you can expect a sweet animation for 1000 subs, although it might not be exactly at the time of the 1000th sub. The 1000th sub gets free access to my HotFile account!

If you want some updates including behind the scenes videos (only on the blog) and pictures, subscribe to the blog.

If you haven't already, subscribe to my youtube upperlevelthegreat.

I will no longer let this blog go long times without updating, as long as I am animating I'm updating.

Thanks, new update in a little while with promised pictures and videos, maybe even a blog-exclusive tutorial, stay tuned!

New Video - Like a G6 Cover

2010-12-04T14:49:00.000-08:00

Go ahead and take a look. Hope it works on the blog, I'm not real experienced with Blogging.

Stay tuned for the project I am now working on, a music video for the song Citizens of Tomorrow by Tokyo Police Club (I got the ok, and the rights reserved from the band and the band manager).

New Animation Coming Soon

2010-11-12T15:51:00.000-08:00

Hey guys, well no followers yet, but also haven't put the link anywhere yet, thought I'd make some posts first.

Anyways, I started trying to teach my friend Kris the basics of stop motion animation and I got really into doing some morphs again.
I am at 40 seconds so far (30 fps, so 1200 frames) and I will consider posting it to youtube and the blog here at the 1 or 2 minute marks depending on how many ides I have.

Stay tuned also for a tutorial on doing a perfect sandcurl.

Here's a couple frames from this animation showing a sandcurl:
