The short film about a UFO in Buenos Aires I will continue doing, but until there is no definite plan to tell the story, I will not move forward. I decided to aim my guns to practice with digital tools for maximum realism possible in VFX that I got ...
To tell the story in a way that is understandable and has a good dramatic structure, and thus make the viewer understand easily, I decided to make a 3-month course on screenwriting and audiovisual production and Paul Cullel Jorge Maestro (highly recommended). The truth is that every time I'm more interested this field where creativity is enhanced.
To test lighting, and other materials, I made a flying saucer WTF? cold porcelain and metallic paint with acrylic paint, and whispered:
While I was playing my girls played with the dish I came to give life, sisi, the mini-UFO that had just created, I thought it would be fun to do and the history that could have could be very funny, I got to work and I wrote a "script" well cortito, this is what came out:
Yes, a pity the actor of cardboard, which was repeated 25 times to finish it: - /, was 4 am when she was shot, would not leave for tomorrow, and no actor was another device nearby.
So my machine could be seen as you to:
(Click to enlarge) working with two monitors: the first UFO you can see the post and the 3d, while equalized colors.
Camera: Sony HDR-XR200v
Recording: Two days from 4-6 am each day.
Total Number of shots: 50
Courts at the end: 2
Number of files: 11 511 (each sequence is passed to TGA)
Total weight of the archives: 11,707 MB (about 12 Gigas)
Software used o: boujou + Photoshop + Edius + 3ds max + Vegas + After Effects (among others)
Approximate time of development: 50 hours (including learning to use some tools)
Drinks: three drinks, six beers (to kill the cafe).
Bath: 11 times.
Beer Café to kill: 18.
Well, I hope you like it as much as I do, despite the time it takes and artistic problems that suffering was a great experience.
... I'm about to finish the prototype ....

I want to comment as I stopped using Google Reader. At one time he was absorbing too much information, so I started to remove the blogs speaking of which 80% translate everything from English as we do not have a Steve Jobs or a Google, then almost everything comes from English. But then remained Feeds list endless, then I started reading Hacker News, which is a very simple YCombinator, digg-style, where there are links to news for programmers or hackers. In USA the good hackers are called programmers. The truth is that it is a site to the sea of interesting, because it is too easy, has no form, no categories, no tags, just links, and sometimes arm themselves good conversations in the comments.
The mouse appeared with the popularity of the PC and was one of the reasons for any "simple person" can handle easily the computer back in 1995. Before he had to make it as difficult as typing "cd wordpress" on the keyboard to access a directory. Now, however, could double click on a folder.
This great revolution that eventually resulted in the peripheral (and just as my parents are about to understand the diferncia between a right click and left-click) is about to disappear and be replaced by the multitouch.
While Apple always stood out to offer its user interfaces (such as when he created the one-button mouse) was able to bring their screens millions of users with unprecedented multi-touchscreen phone: the iPhone.
It
hacienda memory, many years before the release of iPhone in 2007 and existed touch screens and the best known product was the Palm. PDAs never succeeded. Perhaps because they were imitating the click of a mouse but with a plastic pen tip pressure was put on the screen (the stylus). And as with a cursor, is only one place at one time.
I remember seeing pictures from the iPhone online and think "but who is going to touch the screen with your hands?". It seemed crazy. Is that for decades we have been accustomed to pushing buttons (like Desmond on Lost: "Push the button!"). Cell phones were all with numeric keypad and some offered full QWERTY keyboard (and minutely useless).
So ... how to break the old paradigm of push buttons to dial a phone number? At that time there was a Palm touchscreen model that was also mobile phone and had very few sales. What is the difference besides that the iPhone was much more fashion?
Without going into too much detail I will try to explain the difference between the multitouch system introduced by Apple with its iPhone and the touchscreen system "classic" (which are more like a click). The multitouch screen is a continuous flow of electricity over the entire viewing surface where a finger to stop posing. And that disruption is reflected in the device as a "touch." Has the ability to interrupt that flow curtain simultaneously (using several fingers at once) achieving the multitouch. Requires no pressure on the screen. I REPEAT: no need to put pressure on the screen:. This new system did away with the use of pencils, plastic or other elements. With the fingers of the hand, so easy.
We must say q
ue iPhone with multitouch was accompanied by an operating system for you. The best example to adopt this technology is to manipulate photos with your hands. When you open a photo with two fingers you zoom, is a completely natural experience. You do not have to click a magnifying glass, or a "plus sign" or type "200%". You move your thumb and forefinger. It is incredibly simple is intuitive. Skip to next picture dragging a finger or zoom back to the original with a "double tap (two touch row). Same for handling maps, drawing or playing the Field Runner.
Once you start using the multitouch and no turning back. You do not want to use more of the mouse. I find this ridiculous, outdated, past. Why move a plastic gizmo when you can touch the screen to select what I want?.
Adios to the mouse, throw it away.

As some know, I like to personalize everything!, A while ago gave way (try) to my home drawing www.crystian.net now occurred to me to do the same with twitter and youtube. I began by youtube to see if I could do something, and if it can be fetched half, probably did deliberate for anyone (not just partners) can change the look of the channel.
Basically is to put a background image, and then put the visual elements of html (borders, etc.) transparent ![]()
So I'm channel:
http://www.youtube.com/crystian77
An important point is that you can not change the "structure" This is usually applied as a skin . More than one amendment, that does not mean that you can do something interesting, just you have to be more creative.
What he proposes is youtube customize colors, fonts, with predetermined topics, but we also have an advanced mode in which we can customize (personalize Spanglish) colors and add a background image as a repetitive, mosaic or without repeat ( in this way focuses the image to the channel), and also has a rather interesting choice of transparency, which we will exploit. Let's start:
The first is to define panels and modules that you will have channel
Then locate and order it as you like (using the little arrows) in panels phones.
In my case, organized as follows:

Now we need to extract the skeleton of this structure to begin planning for this we create a new topic deploy "themes and colors" then "New Topic", we put a name like "demo" and modify the colors to emphasize the site structure and that we know time we are seeing, for example like this:
We can clearly see the structure, if it is graphically ugly, but we think it is the skeleton, it lacks the "skin" that we will build.
Next step, full screenshot of the entire channel and took it to photoshop (or your favorite image editor)
Since firefox you can use them FireShot plugin or some similar, if not with alt + print screen (this is the first key of the three keys that you used ever full of dust that are above the numeric keypad on the left)
Now in your image editor to crop the image centered leaving the structure, paying close attention to this point, if then you go up and you should not centered just add more pixels to one side to center.
You create a new layer and then this, "paint" over your new skin, for example in this case we simulate freehand. It is clear that at this point you can do whatever you want (would be interesting to a metal) in this free your creativity to the fullest!
As I'll explain mine. Basically paint with a brush similar to the stroke of a pen, with the imperfections of the line by hand to make it more realistic.
It is good practice once you have minimal structure to see how they go up, adjust and resolve any issues before continuing.
Then I put a background paper like newspaper, below and above this add things in my desk now, "links" to personal projects, things I like, or even define me, just to keep my style and be consistent with me I am sometimes
In order to look "real", almost everything has a shadow, it gives depth to the image and thus is more realistic. Some things, like notes and texts were scanned.
Once you have left over something like this:
Let youtube and create a new item, we set the colors according to the style we gave him, and importantly, we clear the structure:
And with that we have our custom channel, although we do not change the basic structure, if we change the way we show our channel.
For the background image seems to have a maximum upload size in terms of resolution, but if "weight", not to exceed 256k, as the resolution size is usually large, it is necessary to compress in exchange for sacrificing quality using the jpg format, I'm using more or less quality to 45% depending on the "save for web & devices" in photoshop.

If you liked this post, retwitealo, pass it to your friends, and give it to your mother on her birthday to improve channel
, Je post, if you forward it taste ![]()
If you used it or not, comments on this post and put your channel for all to see ![]()
Enjoy
NOTE: If you have a theme when you click on playlists has the same background, barely noticeable, but bueh.
"The typical U.S. supermarket offers between 30,000 and 40,000 different products. The average buyer
tour the store in about 21 minutes, and choose from among this wide range of about 40 000 products, 18 items. Making such decisions is a kind of feat.
But it's nothing compared to what happens on the web. There are a million registered websites, containing 250 million pages. It is amazing to find the right page in the universe, and the number of pages doubles every year. "
Excerpt from the book by Kevin Kelly: "The new rules of the new economy" of 1998, Chapter Abundance, not scarcity. Currently (May 2010) the number of web pages indexed by Google more than a trillion.
