Windows Switch Ad

2007-10-08T09:04:00.000-04:00

Yesterday I was digging through some old projects and found the "Windows Switch Ad" spoof commercial that Ryan and I filmed quite a long time ago. Thanks to boredom, I opened it up and finished editing it. The final result came out nicely.

Turn it up.

Bioshock

2007-08-30T15:58:00.000-04:00

is well...
the best xbox 360 game i have played yet...
it mixes fear, action ,rpg elements , hidden objects and storyline together so well i felt it went over all of my expectations.
well it plays well jon how does it look
lets see it looks like a city under the sea.
but jon thats how its supposed to look.
well yes my friend but citys under the sea dont exist.this makes it seem possible to a point. with realistic glass cracking showing high pressure water spewing into this half dead city. fights with big daddys are EXTREME.(i playyed it through on hard... like gears its hard mode earns its title.)the fight with all of these monsters require a large amount of plasmids and eve.
i set up 5 electro bolt arrow traps and 3 mines between me and the monstrous diving suit
then i shocked him with electro bolt plasmid and pumped him full of armor peircing rounds from my fully upgraded machine gun.
what i thought was doing damage only brought him down about a quarter health and got him plentypissed. then he ripped through my traps only bringing him down about to half health.
then he raped me. Full on took his drill and and made a new love hole.

the scary moments are scripted you arent dealing with condemed enemys who were made to scare you.one of these events occurs when you go into the dental wing of the medical pevalion there was a sign that read painless dental. the door was locked but while in the mourge there was a vent i crawled through it and saw a dentists chair empty and covered in blood i walked passed it then the room filled with fog
i turned and saw a splicer very dead on that very dentists chair
then i noticed in the corner a ne physical tonic
i walked over and as the equip screen came up fog rolled over the screenagain
i turned around and was face to face with a leadhead splicer
unlyuckily for him i had my explosive shells equiped and he was blown up and went halfway accross the room on fire
this is the best game out now next to metroid and i cant give it enough praise

(im bored and just beat the game so for those who say this should just be a comment)

D70 Shutter Speed Tests - 070813

2007-08-13T18:49:00.000-04:00

Today we took some high-speed shots to see how well the camera could capture the photograph yet still maintain reasonably good color.

We were completely blown away by the clarity and color depth achieved at high shutter-speed. Mind you, today was also an overcast day!

Please click to enlarge!

Playing with the D70

2007-08-07T09:24:00.000-04:00

This camera's definitely got heavy-duty badass written all over it.

Some shots from this morning:

These next two shots are taken from the same mount, but at different focal points.

Working with the Nikon D70

2007-08-06T22:17:00.001-04:00

I was recently asked to test out a Nikon D70 for a company's product photoshoot. I was handed a D70 with which I have been learning the ins and outs of for the last few hours.

Here's an incredible shot I took using this camera here in my home office. The outer lens is approximately 1 inch away from the focused object (pliers):

The shot you see above has received NO color-correction. HOLY COW.

Attic Media Center is Completed!!

2007-08-03T09:40:00.000-04:00

Finally, after nearly 3 years of working on the attic project (which some of you know about), my Dad and I just got the carpet installed two days ago! The second that carpet was laid down, we immediately began looked towards the electronics. Yesterday, we purchased a ton of new audio equipment for the room including:

- Pioneer 7.1 Multi-Channel Amp/Receiver
- Boston Acoustics 10" Main Subwoofer
- Polk Audio Center Speaker
- (2) Sony Woofers and Midrange Beasts

I grabbed a DVD player from downstairs (new Panasonic that truly plays 'em all) and we spent about 3-4 hours setting up the room. We haven't even begun to balance the system yet!

Anyhow, here are some pictures taken last night for your viewing pleasure:

Some of the new equipment

Plugged in the Pioneer Amp (Chorus "aahhhhh!!!")

Laying out the speakers in true 7.1

Temporarily setting up the old projector. Eventually we'll get one of those new widescreen high-lumens projectors (maybe even 1080p).

Hooking up the system!

Once we finished setting up everything, we turned on the components, heard a little crackle for a second, popped a Sting audio CD into the player and turned it up.

It was unbelievable... The sound, so crystal clear and surrounding you in beauty. Sorry, but my Dad and I really are audiophiles. I can't even post up a video or audiotrack to show you guys what it sounds like because it cannot do it any justice at all...

AND THIS IS BEFORE WE BALANCED THE SURROUND SOUND!!!

Ahh... yes. Heaven is now in my attic. You guys are definitely going to have to hear the sound that immerses you so intensely in that 4th floor. The acoustics in the attic are perfect, lack of an echo nor muffle. No words can describe...

This last picture is of a couple older speaker cabinets that my Dad and I had in storage downstairs. These are actually some really nice, tightly-sealed enclosures. We're going to buy some raw 15" woofers to replace the old blown speakers. Probably replace the tweeters up top too.

Testing some speaker cabinets downstairs

Very good, very good...

Recent Photography - 7/25/07

2007-07-27T18:13:00.000-04:00

Here's a shot I recently tooled around with. We took multiple takes at this angle, and I think this one came out the best. This photograph was taken in the old industrialized section of Lawrence, MA near the south canal.

That isn't just black & white for kicks... Take a good hard long look at this photo composition.

See what this shot symbolizes for you. (please click to enlarge)

Thanks.

And Finally I Reveal My New Project

2007-07-12T15:58:00.000-04:00

Alright, I've been working on this project of mine for quite some time now and I think I've got it down to the point where I can show you guys some of my progress.

Essentially, I have been planning a short film for approximately the last 5 or so months. So far, my ideas are for this film to be based on a fellow security guard who patrols an old factory mill. I have the perfect location scouted out and everything. This guard does his rounds every night, but one night, something is different. Out of place. And that's about as far as I have gotten in the ideas department. There is no dialogue in this short either.

Anyhow, here are some scouting pictures of a mill my Dad has part control over. I took some pictures of possible cinematic environmental shots that I would like to capture on film.

In fact, I did a tremendous amount of work on these images to get the exact "look and feel" that I want. The other thing is, these pictures were taken during broad daylight, and these are already spooky. Also, these pictures are only of one room of many empty chambers and rooms that are dimly lit if at all.

Gotta have the cracked windows

Eerie devices and vats

Through grate lighting

Very cool shot symbolizing the age of the piping and equipment in the mill

The exit is locked

Notice the goop dripping of the I-beam

Bricks, again showing the age and eeriness of the place

What do you think?

Do You Know?

Did you guys know that the answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42?

Google confirms is.

E3

2007-07-12T11:09:00.000-04:00

E3 seems to be moving along swimmingly for everyone so far, even Sony. They've got all the new features of their online systems, the new PSP, Killzone 2, and the showcase of MGS4 which is going to be a PS3 exclusive. The Wii has had a nice showing with the announcement of Mario Kart Wii, Brawl's release on December 3, and Super Mario Galaxy. So far, however, my favorite has been Microsoft's showing. They've displayed Fable 2, given details for Rock Band, shown Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed, and even a little Halo Wars. The most important thing that was shown, however, was the Halo 3 campaign footage. They say it looks stunning (and I agree), but you should see for yourself.

My Blue Truck

2007-07-05T10:16:00.000-04:00

This is my blue truck. I love it because it has been in the family since the beginning of my life. Now it's mine to work on, restore, maintain, and eventually drive.

This truck is a 1964 Ford F100 pickup, 2-wheel drive, 292-V8 Y-block, and a 6' bed.

My brother Mike bought this truck nearly a decade and a half ago from some guy in Texas. He then proceeded to work on it for a few years and then drove it all the way up here to MA with a couple shotguns and rifles illegally strapped down in the back. From there the truck went to rest at my Dad's company for 13 years, and only in the last year have I gotten my hands on it. Many months ago we had it towed from my Dad's company to our house, where I finally began to work on bringing it back to life.

Over the last several months, after much work and many parts replaced, I started the engine.

Here's a video of it running after my initial-experience excitement. Note how rough it runs. This thing is gallons-per-mile, not miles-per-gallon.

The Fourth of July, 2007

2007-07-04T17:17:00.000-04:00

"In the United States, Independence Day (commonly known as "the Fourth of July","July Fourth", or even simply "The Fourth") is a federal holiday celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain."

The Official Beginning of Summer '07 LAN

2007-06-25T12:32:00.000-04:00

Thursday, June 28, is the day that this LAN is happening. I plan to call those who's numbers I have, but, for those I don't have, please call me or Matt and let him know. I will be contacting those I can soon.

Summer '07 LAN Update

2007-06-22T11:30:00.000-04:00

I'm going to ask about Sunday, however, I know that Ryan can't make it. I also have a game on Monday which is another possibility. Tuesday is another consideration, but I'm going to wait until later today and check the blog. If I have feedback, I'll consider it, but if I don't hear anything, I'm going to make a decision then.

The decision seems to be for filming, but you know how that turns out. Stressful...

Note: I've got Wednesday and Thursday free. Let me know by tomorrow afternoon, and I'll let you know then.

guys

2007-06-21T15:30:00.000-04:00

get into gear im bored

lets try for a lan this sunday or early next week

Hillbilly Chemistry

2007-06-17T19:03:00.000-04:00

This was a quick short film that Joe and I threw together for our final Chemistry class assignment.

Trust me, it has pretty much nothing to do with chemistry. Hilariously action-packed, and quite a spoof of natural science.

The audio levels are a bit low, so turn up your speakers.

This took two days of acting (and keeping the tractor running) and one day of editing to complete. This is really the first video that I spent an extensive amount of time color correcting shots. (And I'm not just talking about the obviously over-exposed angles)

Please share thoughts and comments.

Beginning of Summer '07 LAN

2007-06-12T19:53:00.000-04:00

After school lets out, we should have another LAN. I need to find out a day from my mother, and I'll let you guys know when. But Matt and I want to know if you guys want to film or just hang out. I'll update the post with a date later, but answer me in the mean time.

Mac Pro - CS:S

2007-06-09T14:26:00.000-04:00

So I finally got Windows running through Boot Camp. Here are a few screenshots from CS:Source running on the Mac Pro. These were taken at highest resolution (1680x1050) with maximum settings enabled, including anistrophic filtering 16x.

Framerates peaked as high as 300fps.

And here is a short video I put together this morning, again at max quality:

I realize that this is only Counter-Strike, but the fact that I'm reaching 300fps (ON A 32-BIT VERSION OF WINDOWS, USING ONLY HALF THE PROCESSOR) is pretty awesome!

2007-06-09T10:59:00.000-04:00

Happy 250 posts!

I've got something cool for this post, and I'll put it at the end.

Matt, when do you get out of school? I want to plan a LAN for after school lets out. When will you be available. Our last day is on the 20th I believe.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be controllable in the following ways: Wii remote (alone), Wii remote and nunchuck, classic controller, and Gamecube controller. Don't know how the Wii remote will handle alone, but I can't wait.

Finally, I have the Halo 3 boxart. For your viewing pleasure:

Mac Pro

2007-05-28T09:08:00.000-04:00

So I've been using this beast for a week now, and have I got a ton to report!

First of all, this machine is BLAZING fast. It takes literally 2 minutes to render an entire sequence that would have taken my poor 800Mhz PowerBook hours to process. Also, I've noticed that a few more format options have become available in FCP 5.1 (the Universal binary). For example, I can easily work with uncompressed 1080p video files.

Speaking of HD video, I downloaded three HD trailers from Apple's Quicktime gallery, and played them at the same time. I expected the system to bog down a bit, so I opened up Activity Monitor while I played the streams. While all three HD videos were playing, Activity Monitor showed only 68% of the processor being used.
_____

Now that I've talked of all the good news...

This machine crashes, a lot. It has crashed at least once a day for the last week. I believe I know what the problem is, yet it has slowed down my FCP projects (some of which are school assignments) BIG time.

I have reason to believe that the issue is:
- Running my completely legal version of Final Cut Pro.
- Boot Camp, which I installed the second day. I haven't installed Windows yet though.
- An 80GB SATA drive I installed the first day, which gives me some crap in Disk Utils.
- I'm just too retarded, and am overburdening the system when I try to run to run 8 streams of video, FCP, GarageBand, iTunes, Parallels Desktop, BitTorrent, Firefox, LiveType, and CoD 2 all at the same time while backing up 120GB worth of data.

a book in the works

2007-05-23T20:17:00.000-04:00

its funny and will hopefully be done by the end of this summer it is titled"JONS UNFINISHED LITTLE BOOK OF INCOHERENT DIALOGUE" "STEPPING PAST THE AWKWARD ZONE" some of the things i write might be used in a skit show made by alex and hanlon their creative enough to understand some of my madness ^_^but it is just 2 or 3 character dialogue skits spread out over what will be random thoughts most new such as the manic depressive cynic and the pantsless awkward guy some old like rob and jon who talk about the relevance of god and vegtables...so you know im only writing one and if people tell me its funny i might photo copy a few ^_^im a very bored and dull person so for me to pick up a small project as such is a big deal to moi.peace
it has no plot at all but its my kind of humor without the stuttering and bad timing...

'nuff said

Halo 3

2007-05-18T22:39:00.000-04:00

I had a copy of Halo 3 reserved today, and most of the Halo 3 stuff I have seen looks cool. You guys have probably seen a lot too. Only problem is that it looks to be only one, maybe two, steps above Halo 2.

But Call of Duty 4 sounds pretty sweet as well, and I have also seen a bunch of stuff on Splinter Cell 5. They both are high on my most wanted lists. Splinter Cell 5 (Conviction) looks particularly interesting. It follows along the lines of Double Agent but appears to go deeper into his character. There's another big change involving Sam's departure from the NSA.

Apparently, Devil May Cry 4 is also being released on the 360. It seems that the PS3 would be doomed if Sony loses MGS4's exclusive status especially after the loss of Assassin's Creed and now this.

oys everyone

2007-05-14T19:57:00.000-04:00

Editing Unleashed

2007-05-14T18:08:00.000-04:00

The new ultimate video processing/editing software suite of all time has been announced by Apple, Inc.

Final Cut Pro 6
Motion 3
Soundtrack Pro 2
Compressor 3
DVD Studio Pro 4

And a new software that seems very promising called: Color

Apple says that Color is a new professional color grading/correction application that will integrate seemlessly with Final Cut Studio, although it is a standalone application. Sounds real serious. I'm really excited about it.

Can't wait to acquire all this new software. I'm not even sure if it'll run on my suckbook. We'll see.

But damn, Apple answers my prayers again. Just days before the announcement, I was wishing for a powerful color app that I could work with FCP. And Apple heard me.

Here's the link to the FCS 2 page: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/

Sweet!!!

Automotive TV Show Spoof

2007-05-04T18:18:00.000-04:00

The goal was to make a short video under 5 hours including all post-production work. The subject could be about anything. So we decided to make a spoof of one of those old car shows on TV where the host give tips & techniques for fixing problems with your car. It's a spoof because its not a car, and the repair techniques are ridiculous! The exposure/white-balance is off, mainly because of the very cheap camera we used. Enjoy.

Call of Duty 4

2007-04-29T17:01:00.000-04:00

This is a sweet video of Call of Duty 4, which is the reason Infinity Ward didn't develop Call of Duty 3.

Minuteman Science Technology Expo 2007

2007-03-24T15:16:00.001-04:00

I happened to be at my school the night of the expo, so I filmed it and edited it within a week.

This was my school's first sci-tech expo, on Thursday, March 15, 2007.


Minuteman's First Annual Science & Technology Expo 2007. Over 15 colleges and 25 companies attended. Held in the cafeteria between 6-9 pm. Features of the expo were the main show, keynote presentation, and shop classroom tours.

Any questions, please ask.

The Lift

2007-03-03T12:40:00.000-05:00

Ryan and I are making a fake film trailer titled "The Lift," which we plan to finish sometime in the near future. All footage has been captured, we just need to edit it.

I'm not going to reveal the plot and stuff yet. You're just going to have to wait for the trailer to come out.

It's Time For a LAN...

2007-02-26T16:42:00.000-05:00

Gah... I can't take this anymore. Someone host a LAN now. Screw the HD equipment. I'll make sure we have it in due time (meaning by Ep. 4).

Moby-bir and I finally got a running engine to replace the blown one in my stunt tractor...

Working with CGI

2007-01-21T10:28:00.000-05:00

Anyways, here's a pic of me working in Autodesk Maya Live.

It would take me forever to explain what is going on in this screen, so let me just say that what I am doing involves tons of 3d tracking/solving and tons of CGI. Basically, I'm taking stock footage and creating a 3d map in which I can render models/animations and composite them seamlessly into the shot. This is EXACTLY how CGI is done in the movies you watch.

At the next LAN, I'll explain the entire process and what it all means.

New Year

2007-01-01T11:45:00.000-05:00

Well, Happy New Year everybody. We're now one year closer to The End. Hopefully we can finish Ep. 3 this year.

My dad just bought a wii the prick who sold it to him sent him a picture and note saying the specified item he bought for 400$ was just a picture.What an 4$$

Major freakout

2006-12-17T19:03:00.000-05:00

Until about 5 minutes ago I honestly thought I might die. Let me explain. At around 6 P.M. I was hungry, and home alone. So, I went in the kitchen to heat something up. While dinner was in the microwave I noticed a small baggie of gingerbread cookies sitting on the kitchen counter. I thought one might go good with my meal, so I ate one. Then I remembered that Mom had previously said something along the lines of "I need to make some new cookie ornaments for the tree." What gos in these ornaments so they'll last for years? Glue! Oh shit, thought I, there's a very real chance I just ingested craft glue. So, I called the parent's cell phones. They were of course turned off. So, I tried my dad's pager. I have no idea how a pager works, I wasn't even sure the message got through. So, I quit trying to reach them, poured a nice tall glass of water, and set to work trying to find the offending glue. I found two bottles in the house. One was labeled "Non-toxic", the other was labelled "HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED." Oh great, my odds are about 50-50. I commenced searching for epicac, or something to induce vomiting. There was nothing. Suddenly the phone rang. I thought it was my parents, it wasn't. My aunt was looking for them too, and having no luck. So, I informed her that they weren't home. I then informed her that I may have just swallowed fatal glue, and that she had been a positive influence over the years, I wouldn't be who I am without her, and I love her. She laughed, and said even if I did, I probably hadn't taken enough to kill me. I should note that by this time I had developed a headache, sweats, and an all over itchy feeling. I sat down and tried to think rationally. I could call poison control, but I don't know for certain I took anything harmful. I could try to drive myself to the hospital, but if serious symptoms onset while I was driving I might endanger myself and others. Finally, I decided to just sit, and drink lots of water. About 45 minutes later, my parents called me from a payphone. I explained the situation to them, and was informed that yes, the cookies were meant to be eaten, and no, there is no glue in them. I breathed a sigh of relief, and then ate a few more. It was a good cookie, regardless of whether it had glue in it or not.

Halo 3 Matchmaking Screenshots - LEAKED

2006-11-01T11:03:00.000-05:00

A few nights ago, Bungie hosted the very first Halo 3 matchmaking game with folks in top-secret locations and 'Intarweb' connections around the world. Supposedly, someone leaked a few shots of the Halo 3 matchmaking setup... You won't be able to read the text though, because its all in Swedish.

Upgrade - Modded Xboxes

2006-10-05T20:49:00.000-04:00

Recently, a friend of mine asked me to mod his Xbox for him. I had already shown him some of the work that we have done, as well as a demonstration about how modded Xboxes work and totally pwn non-modded Xboxes, and he was really psyched to get his Xbox modded with the latest. So, I took up his offer and he paid me $100 dollars to buy the parts and mod the box.

Of course, I also couldn't resist modding my own Xbox at the same time as I did his, considering that I had been waiting a while to mod my own. So, I went online, checked out www.modchip.com, and purchased two Xecuter 3 CE modchips at reduced prices (because I bought more than one). This online transaction was completed a few days ago. I am expecting a package in my mailbox tomorrow.

As for now, I have been taking apart the two Xboxes, and have been cleaning and preparing the joints to be soldered and wired.

Since my friend's Xbox is a v1.6b and mine is a v1.4-1.5, I will have to mod each Xbox separately from the other, mainly because the motherboard is a completely different layout. Microsoft had to be bitchy like that, I guess.

Also, while I was doing this, I happened to notice that Jon's Xbox also needed just a little bit of cleaning. ^_^

After Jon's Xbox nearly caught on fire a couple of days ago, I decided that I would also open up his box and see what the problems were. The second I pried open the Xbox (upside-down), a pile of dust and dirt dropped into my lap. Quite soon, the entire room was hazy and smoky.

Here's a video of my cleaning the rest of Jon's Xbox, inside-out:

More Halo Than You Can Chew

2006-09-27T18:59:00.000-04:00

At X06, Bungie has announced two other projects...and they're both Halo-related. Apart from Halo 3, we have Halo Wars (an RTS), and an unnamed Halo project.

Halo Wars speaks for itself; your standard RTS, in the Halo universe. It's being developed by Ensemble Studios, makers of the Age of Empires franchise. The unnamed project is being made by a studio called Wingnut Interactive (sound familiar), formed by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh.

I don't know if anyone else has seen the actual logo of Halo 3. Nothing new, but it's something to think about.

There's a bit of symbolism in the new symbol (no pun intended) if you're willing to look.

Maybe we'll get a huge army of Spartans...

Zelda

2006-09-17T22:49:00.000-04:00

I hadn't played it in 7 years I loved that game. Of course I started with Sonic and Mario, but then again didn't everyone. But the game that actualy (no matter how bad of one) made me a gamer was Zelda. I treasured that game and tried as long as I could to savor it I killed every skultula I learned every song and I beat the water temple(something some grown men I know couldn't do).When I beat that game I became depressed IT WAS THAT GOOD A GAME. It made me love videogames for every cooky character and stupid yet briliant plot twist(Maybe some of you will get the Billy and Mandy reference).I swore to myself that I'd wait 8 years to play the game that changed my view on games so it wouldnt get old. I lied i could only hold off for seven today I played it and Ill be damned if it isn't still the best game ever. I am going to get twighlight princes just like how I got majoras mask and windwaker. The Zelda sieries is the closest game to my heart. I know you all dont agree some will say halo some M.G.S but to me Zelda Ocarina of Time rules over all games.

Modtacular! - Update 2

2006-08-31T10:28:00.001-04:00

Well, well. Do I have a bit to write about today. First off, I just want to mention that this mod has gone way above and beyond what I had originally expected it to turn out to be. Here are all of the features built into this mod as of now:

- Original toggle timefreeze
- Original screencap tool
- Decrease/inscrease game speed (think smooth slow-motion)
- Cinematic mode (enables constant high LOD models and textures)
- Camera shift, depth, FOV, speed adjusters
- Save & load both camera-state & game-state
- Cutscene camera
- Third-person perspective (with proper reticle aiming)
- Chasecam perspective
- Stillcam
- Devcam perspective (move camera out of the Chief while game stays live)
- Auto hi-res screen grabber
- Image sequence capture (low, 10FPS)
- In-game letterbox toggle (cutscene-style, 1:85.1 widescreen)
- Wireframe mode
- HUD toggle
- AI toggle (not working correctly)
- In-game ambient, primary & secondary lighting controls (this allows us to position light anywhere on the chief, especially in dark rooms, PERFECT for setting up shots in a film)
_____

Yeah... I know that's a whole lot to swallow, but now I'm going to show you some pics of what some of the newer features do.

- Auto Hi-res Grabber -
Basically, what this command does is take many screenshots of a single frame in-game. After you get your camera in position to take a regular screenshot, you enable the hi-res grabber and immediately the mod will zoom into smaller 'blocks' of the overall image and take 640x480 screenshots of the zoomed-in 'block.' Afterwards, when all the blocks are strung together, they become one massive canvas at 2094x1136 resolution. Here is a sample image in high resolution: (click to show full-size picture)

- Cinematic In-game Widescreen -
Below are a few pictures showing the in-game widescreen feature at work. These pictures were all taken with the highest model & texture settings possible. The mod forces the Halo 2 engine to run any map with everything at full tilt. Think beautiful graphics. Of course, you would think that this would make the game lag severely, yet I was surprised at how well Halo 2 ran with everything enabled. I didn't experience any lag at all, except when I set Zanzibar to wireframe mode.

- Lighting Positioning on Characters -
Look at the two screenshots below. The first image shows the chief with 'default' lighting. It is hard to see the chief because his head is directly in front of the sun. But look at the other image as I maneuver the light primary and ambient light sources to slightly head-on shot. The chief helmet and armor are much more distinguished and color more vibrant. This is exactly what they do in real movie production; they position the lighting to best portray the scene. We're going to be pumping out some awesome film with this.

And so, this is the mod as it stands as of right now.

All these cool new abilities are a lot to take in, yet this will really help us create more of a true 'animation feel' to our films. The camera hack itself is amazing, as you can disconnect from the chief and move around the map while the game is still in play.
And then we have the highest level of detail (LOD) settings for all models and textures in any map enabled no matter where your character is. This means that everything that is way in the background of a certain shot will still be sharp and high-res. And then we also have the built in 1:85.1 widescreen, which will take so much work out of my editing in Final Cut Pro, as I can accurately judge where the camera needs to be as we shoot a scene. And the lighting feature... that simply speaks for itself.

Gah...

Wahttehhog App Update

2006-08-30T16:13:00.000-04:00

Do you n00bs remember this?

Actually, some of you guys weren't even a member of The Wahttehhog way back when this was originally thought up.

Anyways, a brief explanation: I started this Mac app a while back, way back when we were much more n00bified than we are now. I actually got a good chunk of the original programming done, but then I just kind of forgot about it. Today, I was searching through my Xcode resource files and found this again.

So for the last few hours I've been building, compiling, and testing this simple app that tests a person's n00bness level. I plan to port it over to Windows eventually (once I release the Mac version), so all you squares running the Microsoft OS can test your n00bness too.

Note: Speaking of Mac apps, Ducktape, you could help test this sucker so I can get a stable build for release. I'll send you a package when I'm ready and if you want it.

Life before dead rising?

2006-08-21T20:38:00.000-04:00

there was no life I can remember before dead rising.a 9.5 on the ricter scale of videogames about the same as capcoms other spawn re4.KILLING zombies is fluent a good upgrade system and a branching story mode thatpulls you in and keeps you wanting morethe graphics are great and even though hundreds of zombies are on screen at once theres near no frame rate problems.the one save thing is great if you ask me it adds difficulty other games lack.

Modtacular! - Update 1

2006-08-15T21:14:00.000-04:00

I got a lot of stuff done in the past few days. There's a LOT of stuff that I'd like to talk about, but I'll keep it to the basics.
_____

These are some high-resolution images that I captured in a "freeze-frame" within Halo 2: (Note that this is being done solely on one modded Xbox)

The environment you see in each image is currently frozen in time (the center image is the chief running sideways, frozen in midstep) Basically, after time is frozen, the camera was disconnected from the MC and is moved to anywhere on the map, even outside restricted areas. Then, a screencap feature captures a high-res 640x480 image of whatever the camera is "looking" at. After that, I just download the RAW image files through FTP from the Modbox to my PowerBook, and convert them to JPG images.

And here's a video displaying the freeze-frame awesomeness.

LAN - 8/19/06

2006-08-11T19:40:00.000-04:00

I am having a 24 hour LAN next saturday the time is 2pm-2pm. Let me know who can come I have one xbox and 2 controllers so I am going to need lots of stuff.
_____

UPDATE: (By Matt) This is all the stuff we are going to need (that I don't have or simply cannot bring):

- As many Xboxes, controllers, and copies of Halo as possible.
- Money for food.
- Money for website. We need 60 more dollars and then we'll have enough for the hosting plan.
- Good spirits.

And I really can't think of anything else because I HAVE everything else...

Modtacular!

2006-08-11T18:11:00.000-04:00

As you can see from the image below (taken write of a sequence I was throwing together in FCP), I have finished removing the HUD from Halo 2 on Jon's Modbox.

From now on, we will be filming in 1.85:1 widescreen format, which allows us plenty more space than cropping the HUD (old method) and will let us allocate the widescreen bars wherever they fit best on the picture. As you can see from the above image, the actual picture space is much greater than our previous films. Beautiful!

The Conversion is Complete

A Note of Thanks: I would like to thank the Wahttehhog Organization for making this film possible. I, for one, know that I am glad to be a part of such a great group of guys who willingly show up to every LAN and work together to create such a masterpiece.

Thank you, The Wahttehhog.
_____

And now onto Ep. 3! ^_^

We are near...

2006-08-06T12:59:00.000-04:00

Episode 2 is done. Ryan and I completed the final cut yesterday. We exported the highest quality film at 640x480 resolution yesterday as well. We applied absolutely NO compression to the video, because we felt that the experience of watching this episode is much greater if one views it at it's original quality.

And yes, we are going to host all 575.5MB of the file on our own server. (HBO can host it too if they want (they'll probably compress it), but I will be dishing out the original exported version through our own web directory.)

The upload process is underway as I write this (it's been uploading all morning now). I will make the public directory to download the film available as soon as the file uploads.

And no, I don't really plan on ever releasing a compressed version (not HBO included) unless the bandwith burned (from people downloading the file) exceeds well over what is reasonable.

The Wahttehhog Welcomes "Ducktape"

2006-08-06T10:34:00.000-04:00

This letter is directed by the Wahttehhog Organization as a whole, including all current active members. These are the terms of acceptance that [Matthew Gabrenya] must comply to in order to join our group. These terms have been modified to suit Matt's situation. The terms are:

1. The Wahttehhog pwns you. You are never above the Wahttehhog.

2. You must comment on this blog at least once a month. You are forbidden to use the phrase "lol" or any other phrase of that nature on this blog.

3. Because you DON'T live that far away (like Gerk), in Lexington, you should try to participate in the majority of LAN/filming sessions we host here in Billerica. But as long as you can make it to a few LAN's year-round, we really don't care.

4. Try your best to type in proper sentences. This means correct punctuation and grammar and stuff. Yes, there are members here that can't figure this rule out, but no one cares about that either.

5. When creating a post on this blog (not a comment), don't just post aimlessly. All posts must be something interesting or informative to the Wahttehhog.

6. There might be some other rules that I forgot and stuff. So just enjoy your stay here.

We will send your invitational email once you comply to these terms. Just create a comment in this post that states that you comply to these terms.

Episode 2 - Update

2006-08-04T20:49:00.000-04:00

I have been working my ass off over the last week trying to wrap up this episode. And it is actually coming along very nicely. Over the last few days I have managed to:

1. Re-edit the ENTIRE "Zanzibar Intro" scene. (It's a really cool scene now.)
2. Correct all the audio levels for final export.
3. Strung together all the separate scenes into a single sequence.
4. Added an entirely new scene which incorporates footage that I had discarded at an earlier time. (The scene is the one about the base going to full alert, with the "air-raid siren.")
5. Finished editing general scenes that needed to be completed.
6. Realized just how awesome we are, and how unbelievably good this film is.

I've also determined that final runtime length for the episode:

10 minutes, 3 seconds & 12 frames long.

I personally think that this video does not suck and will be accepted as the greatest Halo machinima piece to date in the entire living Halo community.
_____

You guys are gonna' love this. Especially the new Zanzibar scene, and all the extra outtakes that I finally decided to place back in the final film.

Shabu Village Restaurant Website

2006-08-03T18:00:00.000-04:00

Currently, I've been building this website for a new restaurant called Shabu Village in Brookline, and I'm getting paid big bucks to do it. (Ryan, you helped me film that video, which you can now watch incorporated on the home page.)

Visit the first draft of this website at ShabuVillage.com. (I have only finished the home page and menu page so far.)

By the way, this website is hosted off teh StartLogic "ProLogic" plan, which is what I mentioned to you all earlier as our option for web-hosting service.

I mainly created this post so you guys can basically "beta-test" this site for me. In other words, if you come across any errors or problems while visiting the site, PLEASE tell me.

Thanks.

THURSDAY LAN - Sorry for the last minute notice...

2006-07-26T22:49:00.000-04:00

We can have a LAN at my house, but let me know as soon as possible when you can make it. We're having it at 3:00 to whenever. I'll call you also... and everyone (especially Matt because his mom doesn't like things last minute), as soon as you see this, ask your mom (or your dad) if you can come.

About the server, the iMac isn't ready. We should probably just pay for the server for the time being. My mom wants to keep the eMac, so that's out of the question.

MPs - Potentially Good Series

2006-07-22T10:05:00.000-04:00

www.wahttehhog.com - Hosting Plan

2006-07-17T20:08:00.000-04:00

We have got to get serious about this website if we plan to get it online any time soon. First of all, I've been trying for months now to get this web server configured, but I apparently just don't have enough know how to get it all set up. This means that we will have to have a commercial web-hosting service maintain our website.

I looked into countless web-hosting companies and finally decided to go with StartLogic (www.startlogic.com), specifically their "ProLogic" plan. Their service has speedy servers, excellent maintenance, free setup, and 99.99% uptime. Also, it will only cost us a little less than $60/year. That means that each of us contributes $10/year (for simplicity) and I will make sure the website gets online ASAP. This is the way to go.

Please, please, please comment your thoughts. I need to know who can do what and where everybody stands on this matter. Thanks.

The Beginning of the Comeback

2006-07-08T21:47:00.000-04:00

I started the Wahttehhog's Group on Bungie.net. It's under Wahttehhog XBL; that's my clan name on XBOX Live. It's kind of like a division of the Wahttehhog. If you have a Bungie account, join up. We need people to join; the page is on probation. We have now 59 days, as of July 9th, to get activity up.

I still haven't got a date on the next LAN. I believe Matt comes back on the sixteenth; I'll talk with him when he gets back.

Wahttehhog Summer, Part 2

2006-07-07T12:45:00.000-04:00

I was thinking that we should have a LAN soon, just for fun. We can't do any work because Ryan left before I could get the hard drive with the files on it. I am assuming everyone is still around despite the low activity on the blog. Just comment if everyone is available, and then I'll try to see if I can get something going.

When Ryan and Matt get back, we'll schedule something. I know when Matt gets back but not Ryan. I'll be sure to call Matt as soon as possible.

I would have made a newsletter, but I don't have the software Matt uses.

God, are they getting famous or what! Maybe someday we'll be recognized as much as they are, pwning n00bs liek so hard, right.

Summer Agenda

2006-06-19T12:54:00.000-04:00

I suggest we make a summer agenda for what The Wahttehhog needs to do. If we don't, we may not get anything done. I currently do not have vacations planned. I only have band practices Wednesday and Saturdays along with shows. Pete has vacations planned and it seems that Ryan may not be around for much of the summer. I believe Ryan is away until Thursday of this week. We should plan LANs far in advance so that Matt's mom cannot say no. Comment with plans for vacations if known so that we can be prepared. I would really love to finish the current episode, Episode 2, within the next few weeks.

By the way, go for the MacBook Pro, Matt. Not that I do not appreciate what this PowerBook has done for us, but the access to this greater technology is good for the progress of the clan.

I will update this post as I get information, and please give details of when people will be gone in comments.

5 Years of Unpaid Service

2006-06-18T16:45:00.000-04:00

After 5 years of dedicated service to me, my PowerBook G4 800Mhz laptop has begun to die. It all started with the screen not booting properly, and then a physical snap of the rod connection from the screen to the rest of the computer. After that I mysteriously lost 4GB of 'root/home' files (crucial system files), and it goes on...

And so this is a sad time for me, as I watch my Macintosh computer slowly pass away. I plan to spend these last few days trying to heal my valiant Apple PowerBook before I must put it to rest. This PowerBook has not only served me well, but it has also powerfully fueled the Wahttehhog for the last year or so. From my PowerBook the Wahttehhog has pumped out so much media and pwnage...

I hope you all have felt the dedication in this PowerBook from your own individual time spent with it, and you can feel a bit of what I'm feeling right now. Soon my laptop will retire into a glass case placed in my room (that is, of course, after I have tried EVERYTHING possible in attempt to fix it).
_____

And the only good news to arrise from this sad event is:

I might be getting a brand new MacBook Pro 15.4", 2.16Ghz, 2GB RAM, Radeon X1600, DVD/CD+-RW disk drive, as well as a 100GB HD.

Of course, I'd still much rather be using my original PowerPC laptop.

Please let the pwnage resurrect itself...

Ok, the scariest thing in the world would be:

Halo Map

2006-06-14T14:09:00.000-04:00

Hey, I'm going to try and show you all what I meant when I said I can take something thats the best and make it better. I have been working on 3D modeling a halo map. The Halo maps are the things that are the best. I have modeled a pretty good map that Matt and I are getting ready to take it through the process of being set up in a real time game of Halo for the computer. So far we are doing pretty good and are almost done besides the few porblems we have been having, but its getting there and it will be awesome once it is done. Tell what you think.

Wahttehhog Episode 2 - Release Date

2006-06-02T17:16:00.000-04:00

The completed Wahttehhog Episode 2, "Ancien Regime of the Sans-Culottes Series," will be released on:

[Sunday, June 18, 2006]

Ryan and I have nearly finished voice-acting and editing the video. This weekend we intend to finish the entire video for export. I will then spend next Saturday polishing, converting, and compressing the video. It will be uploaded either Saturday night or Sunday morning. Don't expect to be able to download it until Sunday though. Also, if any errors occur in the export or uploading process, the release date will be postponed 'till further notice.

Once this film is released, Ryan and I are taking a break for a weekend or so. During that time, we'll probably host a LAN and just play games and chill. We might start work on the real-life film series. After that, scripting and filming Ep. 3 will begin immediately.

I would advise all n00bs to spend extensive time preparing for the viewing of this film. If a n00b watches this video without proper preparation, his/her brain may explode. If a n00b needs tutoring from a qualified "pro," send an email to wahttehhog@gmail.com stating the exact problem(s) that he/she has. Lastly, if a n00b simply cannot handle the amount of pwnage packed into this episode, we might reduce the resolution and quality of the video down to 4 pixels for better viewing.

Otherwise... Get ready, and get excited!

REAL Russian CS

2006-05-26T20:57:00.000-04:00

I found this video on Google Video the other day. It's basically a reenactment of Counter-Strike in real life. Now you'll most likely say, "Well I've already seen real-life vids of CS and they all sucked." You're right, they DID all suck. All of them were made by n00bs weilding nerf-guns running around Fred's backyard with their Mom's in the background screaming, "Freddy, ya' want a tuna sandwich??1"

No, this video is very cool, reenacted with army guys in full suits, guns and stuff. The beginning starts off with some Russian officers talking or something, but the action soon heats up.

Check it out here.

All them Russians..!
