TIME LAPSE

For those not familar with what a time lapse is...basically....hundreds to thousands of still pics taken over a extended period of time.  These pics are then layered one after another to create video, basically its the same principle as doing "hand drawn" animation...but with still images.  This is my second attempt and I think it turned out really well.  Shot on the GH1 on a cold Pittsburgh night.  I used a canon fd 50mm 1.4 lens and the Kit lens, was going to use the 28mm but decided against it (plus it was getting cold).  The track is for a joint that was never finished, so I used it on this.  

I will be dropping a ton of media before 2010 is a thing of the past.....trust me.

Looking ahead to 2011

In all honesty 2010 was a productive year, but not as good as I would have liked.  I am not complaining because I am sure I did better than most.  In 2011, we are going to focus mainly on our own projects.  I can't even start to tell you how many potential clients cancelled at the last minute and (or) wanted hook-ups.  The best clients (of course) have been non Hip-Hop/music related.  I hate to make a statement like that, but the truth is the truth.  Everyone wants a video, but no one wants to pay the bill.  It would be wrong for me to put these cats on blast, but then again it wouldn't.   Enough of the negative, now to the positive.  Before 2011 hits I w/upload most of the stuff we were sitting on or were unable to do so for various reasons.  I have a few music videos in the vaults (yet to be released), as well as a few short films etc.  The record will not drop in 2010, but early 2011....(but I will drop something before the end of the new year....I think).  Below are some screen captures from a shoot with J.sands and a shoot for Rhyme Cal, featuring Elzhi.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

I haven't done a update on my site in a few weeks, becuase I have been ultra busy.  Trying to finish this record up by the end of this year.....yes the end of this year.  Got several film projects to finish....by the end of this year.  I really want to end 2010 with a bang.  Putting the finishing touches on "Always Official", which is a 412 posse cut.  By the end of the week, the behind the scenes (from the session) will be up.  I have done several Timelapse projects on the GH1, but not sure if I want to post them by themselves, or as part of a bigger project.....only time will tell.
