I was in Chicago this past weekend, doing a music video shoot for Danny Chaimson. Here are some quick screen tests that I’ve been working on in After Effects. Should be finished by next week!

By using Trapcode Sound Keys plug-in for After Effects, you can separate 3 frequency ranges from a single audio track. In this example, each effect is linked to the Bass, Mids, and Highs which allows perfect effect/audio synch.

Tech Note: Video shot with Canon 5D Mark II
After I got the Canon 5D Mark II, I’ve been shooting non-stop! Finally, I’m forcing myself to update my page. Here’s a quick look at what I’ve been up to. A foggy day, Downtown, San Francisco. I was doing a test recording and this song came on (J-Boogie – Oceanic Lullaby). Fit the mood perfectly. One Take, no edits, double speed.

In CINEMA 4D Release 11 the Global Illumination provides a more accurate representation of scene lighting by taking into account light which bounces between objects. Here are my quick tests to show the lush render it provides:
1. render output window with global illumination
2. finished output with global illumination
3. photoshop touch ups
You can create HDR images easily by using 3 bracketed photos and combine them with a program like Photomatix to get up to a 10 stop contrast range with maximum detail
