12.26.10 - Merry Christmas and Instant Photobooth Vlogs

Hello everyone!

Merry, Merry Christmas to you all! Haha! I know I'm a bit late but it's still, in fact, the Holiday Season. New Year hasn't begun yet. :) Anyway, hope everybody had a blessed, wonderful Christmas. Well, I just wanted to let you guys know I started a series of Vlogs called Instant Photobooth Vlog. Photobooth is a program that came with my Macbook Pro. With this program, it's pretty fast and easy for me to do quick vlogs without having to whip out the HD camera. Since my computer already has a built in cam and video editor, it's quick for me to do little announcements and just for me to say "Hi" to you guys! Anyway be well for the rest of the season and will be seeing you guys again, next year!

Love,

12.20.10 - Sleepover 5 & Effects

Hehe.. Only the true readers of my blog would find out that the Sleepover 5 video will be released soon. I was able to finally gather the girls hence their hectic schedules. Again, the soon to be released vid has new animated text and graphics by using After Effects. They're just a simple introduction but I guess it works well. I was also able to use Photoshop images in 3D space. Just like the image below, I was able to use the Facebook status scene using 3D.

At this moment, I'm still figuring out how the Sleepover logo would appear. For now, the logo iteslf has feathered edges to make it more of an interesting look prior to the older Sleepover videos, which had flat edges. :) I'm also trying to work on transitions. Still adjusting to Premiere and After Effects. So far, I'm getting a hang of Premiere so it's all good. :)

I still have one more scene to record but since I've been busy with Christmas shopping, I had to put that off on the side. Anyway, have a HAPPY HOLIDAYS! And make it a safe one! God bless to you all! Thank you for reading and watching!!

Sincerely,

12.14.10 - Adobe CS5 for CreativeSoul videos

As soon as I purchased my Adobe CS5 Suite, an ad or two started popping up on my YouTube channel on xcreativexsoulx. :)

Hehe, just wanted to share with you guys how powerful and great these programs are. I had currently switched to Adobe Premiere as my video editor since my Sony Vegas sometimes couldn't handle large files and I thought it was time for an upgrade. I was also excited to announce that I was able to create a few effects using After Effects. The first video that I tested it on was for my video on TFS (The Filipino Soap part7).

I was able to trigger some smoke effects there. A behind the scene for that video was I had to cover the chair and my Macbook for the outside scene, where the Mom was washing the clothes by hand. You know, they wouldn't have such technology there especially for those type of areas. And recently I had used that for another episode of TFS, called "Revenge." I was able to create fire and explosion for certain scenes using After Effects! Quite epic! The CS5 suite contains, After Effects, Adobe Premiere for video editing, Photoshop, and Illustrator, Encore, Flash, and Sound Booth. It's a great deal especially having Photoshop and Illustrator. This is great for graphic/video designer/editors.

Anyway, that's all I'm blogging for now. Just wanted to share the recent haps on the possibilities on the CreativeSoul videos. You can let your imagination wild and just be free to express yourself and start creating!! And it's always fun!! hehe.. Thanks for tuning in readers!

Love
