11.09.14 - Behind The Video - Oculoose

Hello guys!

On rare occasions, I like to do horror movie parodies for xCreativexSoulx. I've seen the original film Oculus and wasn't pleased with the turnout. I guess I expected a lot from the movie, especially a horror movie since it's one of my favorite genres of film. It's funny that movies only show the best part during the previews or trailers. I wanted to do my take on this, because I had the resources to make this mini-movie. I have the mirror from a garage sale, my tripods and cameras, computers, and liquid latex for creating the creature from the mirror, so I knew it wouldn't be too difficult. In total, I filmed this video for three weekends.

 

I had fun playing with the make-up for this look since I have liquid latex available to create the textured skin. I also used this same liquid latex for my "Zombie Vlog." The possibilities to create all sorts of creatures, injuries, and many other types of characters are endless. The glowing eyes were already done in post-production with After Effects, a powerful tool in creating motion graphics and other effects. Really love that amazing program!

The shrouded mirror gives you that uncomfortable, eerie feeling. So I took this photo to make the viewers feel what I was feeling. I tinted the photo below in black and white for this effect.

Check out the Behind The Video below:

Thanks for reading/viewing guys!

11.04.14 - Instagram

Hi everyone,

I know I haven't really been updating this blog much due to what's been going on in my life. I have a new job so that's currently taking my time at the moment. I really love what I do, I get to explore more creativity and challenge myself. :) Since I haven't been doing videos much at this point, I wanted to share with you guys my Instagram! :D Come follow me and I'll be sure to check out out also! This is probably the fastest way to express myself creatively at this point although sometimes, I can't always snap photos. Hehe.. I began editing a few "behind the videos" from my previous work on YouTube so you may see all that soon on my ItsCreativeSoul channel. I'm just putting them out on a timely schedule so there's a space in between.

Anyway, I present to you guys, my Instagram account CreativitynStyle :D I had this account for a while and wasn't sure why I haven't shared this yet. This username is also used for my Fashion/Style blog which I haven't been using lately also due to my new position. But I miss creating art so I try to when I can just get myself back up again and of course, to share to everyone.

Anyway, here are some of my work on Instagram:

 

I have missed you guys! So I'm hoping to get back again in doing videos and other forms of creativity. Lots of love to you all! You'll hear more from me. :)

06.02.14 - New Stuff

Hello everyone! Once again, I have been MIA in posting on my blog here on xcreativexsoulx. I was just doing a lot when I was working and the extra projects I would work on are just mainly photography and such for my blog on Tumblr "TheCreativeIntrovert." I began with fashion and style "CreativitynStyle" on Tumblr first but figured I wanted to post a variety of things concerning ART. Since I have so many interests, I decided to create "TheCreativeIntrovert" to post a lot more broad items with my LOVE for art. :) Anyway, to get on track, I'm very excited because I finally got a new cool stuff! First is my new iMac. I was currently using my Macbook Pro 15" for videos but decided to go bigger since I am also now doing more effects on After Effects.

 With that, I'm going to need higher power to produce these videos for you guys. :) I'm just thankful and blessed that the timing was perfect. Then sometime last week, I purchased my very first green screen. I have tested it a few times and I'm very pleased on the outcome.

My very first big project using that screen will be the parody of Dark Horse from Katy Perry. Hehe.. See, only you readers will know that that's what's happening next on one of the big CreativeSoul projects.  I wanted to write this blog first before I proceed with the rest since it was about time. :P My apologies for the delay for those who care. Hehe.. Anyway, I better get started with the new vid. Will definitely try to keep this blog going. Love you guys! Thanks for continuing watching "CreativeSoul" videos!

With sincerity,
Kits
