So yeah, going through some of my old audio files and videos, I found this... I took the acapella of 50 Cent's song "Get Up" and I played some guitar, bass and drums to it. It sounded pretty alright for just recording everything on a computer mic. I was using Sony's ACID Pro 6 at the time I think; it's a good program for PCs.

So right now... I'm trying to work on a storyboard for an animation I'm going to be working on over the Christmas break called "Victor". It's kind of hard to do though when you have all these people yelling and screaming near you, getting ready for the Christmas assembly. Then there's Jaira and Jeffrey sitting beside me trying to work.

But yeah... look out for the animation coming out probably after the break. I'll probably post it up here. I'm also going to enter this into the Toronto Student Film Festival so I hope it does well there in 2010. =)

For now... I'm going to be slaving over moving characters little by little... very slowly...

Okay... so going through my youtube videos I found one that made me think, wow, I don't know how I even did that anymore. So this video is of my friend, Angelo Uy. So it's only a couple of seconds and people find this either cool, funny, or just plain creepy. The effect was done in Adobe After Effects and I used some tutorial on VideoCopilot.net, so go check out that site because they have awesome tutorials for After Effects.

I got to tell you... I'm excited about Rock Band's new game coming up in 2010 that was announced at the Spike Video Game Awards 2009. Green Day Rock Band! From a lot of the comments I read so far on articles and videos about it, people are pretty angry about it and I have no idea why. For instance this comment posted on IGN...

"why not choose a band that actually deserves a music game... LIKE A BAND THAT DOESN'T SUCK

In my opinion, Green Day should get a Rock Band game; they revolutionized punk rock and are still going since the mid-1980's. For the people who say they should've chosen another band because it would've been better, I'm not going to argue with you on that, but they're not going to stop making Rock Band games after this one. Green Day is my favorite band so I'm pretty stoked for this; all these songs from Dookie up to their latest album, 21st Century Breakdown.

So anyways... here's the trailer for Green Day Rock Band:

This is something I made out of some vocals I found for some pepsi contest on youtube. Vocals are by Far East Movement and I love these guys so I just had to do something.

Okay, so I was perusing through the DisBand site on MuchMusic and looked up all the bands who are going to be on season 2 and right now, I'm rooting for These Kids Wear Crowns. These guys are pretty awesome. Check out their song 'Fifa 99':

Buy their EP here.

Wow, okay, so totally new to this. So anyways! I thought, might as well start a blog to post up things that interest me and all that kind of junk; it's mostly going to be music by me or other bands I find awesome.
