So I have been looking around for any and all sources for a solution to a problem that was self created; How do I recreate the Titanic scene with Druff on the bow of a cruise ship with a full fucking flyover of the ship?
Well, i've made water scenes in Maya before, but I didn't really need sky and natural lights and shit to fill out what was more or less a top down shot into a rolling sea. I wasn't convinced that my skill set was going to afford me the ability to get all the elements...
So if you're going to do something set to an audio piece that has pre-timed elements in it like a music video, you have your hands tied to the audio of the project. For instance you NEED to know where each phrase starts and ends to the second to block out scenes, unless of course its just a lone figure standing on a boat doing not much, which this is not.
In order to facilitate each scene, the audio has to be broken down into it's component verses and a time value is then associated...

The thing I had a problem with was how to do the bodies. I could either take existing images and tear them apart and rebuild them, but I didn't have enough resource material to do that for multiple angles. The other way was to freehand it the way JibJab used to do their stuff..
But I didn't like how limited it looked and I just don't find it appealing. ...
Always fun and a nightmare to start a new project. Hopefully this will shed some light on the process of making a fine piece of multimedia entertainment.
Already everything that I have touched has turned to shit.
The first thing I needed to do was convert the HQ MP4 file of the Karaoke 'On a Boat' to a more user friendly .MP3. So instead of going to my vid converter tool - Xilisoft.Video.Converter.Ultimate.v5.1.26, I go to something I know I have a lot of control...
So these so called swear words or curse words that are so taboo. I dont get it. So because this word describes something to the foulest it cannot be topped, it should never be used. So these words...
So I'm blissfully done with the poker on my trip - good god am I sick of cards. At this very moment, I'm sitting in a bar in downtown Champaign, Illinois, drinking:

As many of you already know, I am currently in a decent downswing. I've made a few runs at some MTT's lately, but haven't been able to hold, suckout, or win the races in key pots. I know it will...
