Dancing Still
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
Just had some fun playing around with some photos and the animation tools in photoshop. I really enjoyed making this, i think in the past i’ve cared too much about what happens next in a video, will it look good etc… which makes me loose sight of when i used to have fun making videos not worrying about that sort of thing. This blog as lackluster-y updated as it is something i love to do, and hate not doing, i’m going to try and find the fun again and post more with out the stress of thinking it’s crap.
This year’s gonna be the most important of my life, i’m really producing alot lately, whether it be writing, drawing or making videos and music, i’m creating more than i ever have, i just haven’t been showing it. I’m saving alot for the film. saving the good songs and the ideas i’m happy with, but it’s great to come back here and vent some content that just flowed rather than carefully planned.
Happy New year all!

A short experiment in 3d and after effects. Put together in 2 days, just playing around with cinema 4d’s after effects integration and also combining particular with that of 3d footage.

The Thing
Monday, April 6th, 2009
Title Sequence for the John Carpenter movie. Still not entirely sure what i think about this video, i’ve worked harder on it that anything else i’ve ever done, and i do know that it’s the best thing that i’ve done so far, but i spent so long in and out of love with the project, i can’t really look at it much anymore.
There’s two versions, this is the shorter of the two, this ones a bit more cleaner-cut than the other, and there’s a section in the other video that seems a bit out of place (i’ll have to get a second opinion).
I wanted to encapsulate a very visceral and foreboding image. So i took the tactile approach of renting a HDV camera and shooting some close-ups of various organic matter, taking many photographs of slimy textures to incorporate together into the short.
I personally think the still frames below are stronger than the video itself, would really love to hear your thoughts on it, since only three people including myself have seen the final prior to posting now.
Thanks to Rupert, for suggesting doing ‘The Thing’ as this project, and also Chris my tutor for really helping me out with ideas and motivating me, because i got tired with working on it alot.
Music by me.
Can’t wait to make something better.

Two Point Zero!
Monday, February 2nd, 2009
Well it’s been a long time in the waiting (for me at least), but here is the newly redesigned site. I was hoping to launch it along with my latest uni project, but opted into making this silly little teaser for the site instead because i want to spend more time on that project over the next month or so (it’s driving me crazy).
Anyway, this site isn’t in it’s final stage of the design as i have a few more things i want to incorporate whenever i have chance, including a toolbar under the video players with digg, del.icio.us, reddit etc… buttons. Some people may know that i was planning on releasing this as a free videoblog theme once it was finished, i think that modding K2 isn’t the best way for me to do that, i’m instead going to start from a different open source theme which is less bloated with options and unused code (it will have some similar aspects as this one but will be a brand new theme in it’s own right), i will also post a screencast which will show you how simple it is to post a video with this new theme platform! If you have any feature requests comment them below, contact me, or add me to skype: kmogvideo.
Also i would like to thank Chris Coyier for his help with the featured content slider, not only did he create it, but he helped me customize it to dynamically pull my ‘featured’ posts.
I have a quite ambitious year planned ahead regarding these online projects so stay tuned for more.
Check out this article i wrote for Moovy.ca on my workflow!
