MUSIC IS AN EPIC THING

With out music life would seem plain. I do feel sorry for those who are def. After the release of 'Music is an epic thing' I may release another quick After Effects video this time based around Newgrounds or something.

I've also found out that if the video file is a mov. it doesn't take up a lot of space on the swf. SO. I'm going in and I'm probs going to re-upload 'MusicBot' but in a much HigherQuality and I will probably add in a 'Commentary'. But You be the judge

I will say I did enjoy making the Music Video and I'm loving all the comments everyones put in (even the bad ones...kinda). So do expect a lot more from me.

Next Music Videos
-[HD] MusicBot: Harder, Better, Faster
-Evolution Of Newgrounds
-MusicBot: Technologic Live

To those who liked my After Effects work here are 2 videos on youtube based on After Effects

Superpowers Series - Battle Test

FLASH UPDATE

As some of you may be wondering where the hell are my flash animations. Well I've hit a major wall. I went to Uni to TRY and make a flash using a Mac but it just got to frustrating and I went home. Thing is I went home in such a hurry I forgot to pack my Wacom Tablet PEN. So now I have no tablet. But I'm ordering another one so yes.

The following Flashs will be released this year

-Unwritten (Music Video) ..::Priority::..
-Lazor Collection 2.6 (Comedy)
-Syndacite Chapter 3 (Action Adventure)
-MusicBot: Technologic (3D Music Video)
-Left 4 Friggin Dead (Parody)...Now Being Replaced by a Star Trek Spoof Just saw the movie and the whole thing is just begging to be spoofed
-Lazor Collection Xmas Special (Comedy)

Unwriiten Update
Well this is an animation i was working on BEFORE I lost my wacom Tablet. However when I get it back I'm gonna work on it mad to get it done. Just to let you know its based...BASED...On something I tried when I was a kid...just amplified to give it the ending I wish I had *cries and runs off*.

WHAT SNEEK PEEK

..::STUDIO NIGHTBIRD IS GOING LIVE::..

For those of you sticking around on my posts you may have noticed I said I was making a Left4Dead Live action film. Well its now been changed to 'Cobolt'. Its a film Based from Left 4 Dead but isn't. The Producer (Edward) and I went off the other day to one of our locations and did some test shooting. So far we have most the props (guns, Cloths ect). However I'm still writting the storyline down for this.

We Will be shooting 'Cobolt' around the Christmas holidays after get permits and stuff for our shooting locations. We did some makeup Tests as well to get the idea of our 'Zombies' (seen in the picture below). Anyway Hope this hasn't bored you to much. And I'll see you all around.

But I still have some things to let you all know. And that is I have some bad newz. My Studio is Closed for maintenance. My Laptops 'Inverter' (located in the screen) has been damage and is waiting for a replacement, and my main computer has died (R.I.P to my main for it was the creator of MusicBot, Syndacite chapter 1,2. Mums In Heaven and a few collabs I did).

This means I can all my productions are on hold. The Following is on hold
-Unwritten
-Abnormality Episode 2
-MusicBot: Technologic
-Syndacite Chapter 3
-and all my audio work

I do however have a backup computer which I'm using but it dosn't have Flash or 3D max. Just After Effects, Photoshop...and Left4Dead

ABNORMALITY LIVE ACTION

I'm thinking of making my animated series Abnormality into a live action series. Now we have found out there is going to be 3 seasons on Abnormality. But the thing is between season 2 and 3 there is a 9 year gab (storyline wise). I am thinking of filling that gab with a Live action version. Now because this is a distance away. I am guessing by the time I reach making it. I should have mastered After Effects.

Here is a demo of my first superpowers effects
