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!

This little short was contrived whilst i was teaching myself matchmoving. I think i made every mistake that was possible to make whilst creating this, but at least i have the process dialed into my brain now. The softwares i used to make it are blender(3d) and icarus(3d tracker) you can get both of these applications for free although icarus is for non-commercial work only. Basically you take your shot into icarus and you track a number of areas of your footage, find out your camera’s focal length and location in 3d space, then you take that information acquired by icarus into blender and your camera’s location relative to the objects you filmed are matched and the camera path is already set for you, so then you add your cg elements to the scene and animate them how ever you like. All that’s left then is compositing the original footage with the cg footage in After Effects.
I’m pretty happy with the way that it has turned out, i’d probably like it to be a bit longer in retrospect but more than anything i’m looking forward to using these techniques in other videos along the line (especially if i get good at blender). P.S in the final shot where it goes blurry to focused back and forth, was all accidental, the camera which was in auto focus at this point got stuck into this weird limbo where it couldn’t focus on anything so bobbed back and forth like you see in the clip, i liked what it was doing so kept it in.
Check out some of the screenshots of the softwares at work below.
Hope you liked the video!

Blurred (instrumental)
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008
Here’s a little instrumental song i wrote, hope to record it properly soon either by myself or as a band, and add a bit more depth and layer to it. This is sort of an experiment in posting this as i can create these videos more often in-between my other video experiments, animation etc… i’m not sure what sort of response this sort of video will get here, if it’s good, then i’ll do more variations like this from time to time, plus play different genres, and if it’s not received that well then i’ll get the picture and stick to what i’ve been doing.
I will say though, i do like the colour grading of it.

Short abstract video created using iStopMotion and the iSight camera on my macbook, wasn’t sure whether to post this or not but decided for because i like the audio (and plus am feeling guilty for lack of posts). Working on some cool songs and videos (lengthier) at the moment that i’m really excited about and can’t wait to post, stay tuned i’ll try to post more regularly from now on!
