It's really cool how I can just send you guys an instant video update by using my photobooth here on my Macbook Pro. :) Here's a short video pretty much explaining why I've been away, again! Haha.. But surely, promising to send more videos soon on xcreativexsoulx YouTube channel and some Behind The Videos for ItsCreativeSoul channel. :) Thanks for tuning in!

Hello. Just thought I'd do a screen capture of my blog before I set out the new theme. Ready for a new change on this site. I was also thinking of writing more stuff here since I have a bit more time. I shall do that real soon. For now, I better get ready for a job interview. If I get this, I'm praying I'll really have more time to write. hehe.. Wish me luck guys, if you read this!

Hey everyone! Just what I had mentioned in Vlog #7, I recently started producing the CreativeSoul situation videos. I wanted to create these also because I felt that I needed to produce something that people can relate to and possibly have come across at some point in their lives. So far, there are 3 videos that I had put out:

So glad to finally be able to have time to produce videos and write on my blog. I will be updating more real soon. For now, enjoy the videos! Thanks!

Hey everyone! I never thought that my hiatus will be longer than expected. At this point, it has been over a month that I haven't put up a video. With all these sideline projects, It's merely impossible at the moment. But I'm praying to put up a new video next week, for those of you who cares. :) Anyway, I hope all is well and be producing more soon!

Whew! Well, I finally had the chance to put up another behind the video. I was just sorta giving myself time and everything was pretty rushed. :P But here goes another behind the video called "Behind Emo Dino." I had added a few details on this video but not so much. The character just evolved during the emo trend around 2 years ago or so?

What people didn't get much about this video was, there was a lesson to it towards the end. How people should be there to cheer up sad, and depressive people. And that was towards the 5th episode called "Cheer Up 2." Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this one. I had created him a logo in 2007 but I never got a chance to use it. I'm also not sure if he will ever return this season or so. We shall see as we go. If you guys didn't know, my characters usually interact with each other if not in the same episode. Some of them have their own series and sometimes may interact with each other.

Check out the Behind the video below:

Haha.. I didn't know what to call this blog but I guess fan art would be the right term? Here are some drawings from the past that some people for me. I just didn't get to put some of them on here since you know, things are hectic. The last one was from a while back for my birthday by Antar Fardan. I just thought I'd put it up again so it'll be all in one. The 1st one is from a good YouTuber friend, Julius Mariano. The 2nd one is from a viewer. I didn't catch her name but she is very kind enough to make something like this for me. :) But here is her myspace: http://www.myspace.com/hotel_savoy

Anyway, just thought I'd share that with you guys randomly.

Hello all! I just wanted to quickly write how nice my BlogTV sessions turnout. From the very beginning, it has connected all these wonderful people and it's even great to hear that people look forward to it especially when I'm doing a show. It's a place where I really want to promote positivity and to connect more with a lot of you. It's a place where we can converse about random things, dance, tech talk (haha), play games, and just laugh! I know we had to kick out a lot of the baddies but we all know they're everywhere.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you sincerely for actually appreciating those moments some of you were in there. Believe me, everytime I host the show I get scared inside and ponder if you guys will ever get bored and what not. But I have already heard from a lot of you that you guys really enjoy it etc.. Just many apologies that I can't always do it every Friday like most parts last year. I believe I started doing this when the trend was still going on in 2008. Anyway, just a quick rant about BlogTV and a deep and grateful THANK YOU! Hopefully I can start up another one soon. I will let you know.... :)

Sincerely,

Kits-

Truly crazy how the season goes by quick. I usually like to re-design my YouTube page for each season so I came up with the red logo for spring. Since I haven't put up many videos for this season yet, I just left the "New Season" word in the center of the logo.

Anyway, a lot of people have inquired on me creating a playlist for the videos. Just wanted to let everyone know that I had organized all the videos in a playlist format. This way you can easily navigate and find the connection to some of the series. For instance, once you finish part I of the video, where is part II? hehe. The good thing about this is once you click on the playlist the next episode will automatically go on to the next. I know this is like a 1st grader type of tutorial. But this is generally for all those that are still confused since YT always changes their layout and things. Grrrrrrrrrr...

Just go to www.youtube.com/xcreativexsoulx. And once you're on the page, click on the playlist link, shown below:

Once you click on playlists, the series of vids will show below:

You can also click on the right side of the page and it'll show you a series of playlists.

So there we have it! TADA! :D hehe..

Questionnable Characters this season:

As I went on with the season, I had introduce varieties of characters who may have sent out positive messages to everybody. For Dino, he was a comical, depressive, character who in the end started becoming happy by a massive support of online friends. Shastah has sent out positive messages to everyone by singing about "Love" (Lohv) for the video. Dude, is just quite a character with his animated self brings happiness to people just because he is naturally hyper. Negativity isn't necessarily a positive character but he is a reminder of why people should be more happy and stay on the plus side of life.

If these guys are to return this season, I may have to begin brainstorming and writing the stories for these characters. I may put up a temporary poll so you guys can vote if they should come back this season.

The Sleepover series has been in hiatus as well. I've been trying to bring back the girls for another installment of Sleepover but these girls are super busy with school, graduating, entering college.. etc.. I will definitely get them all back once there's an open schedule that everyone can agree on. The TFS Series (The Filipino Soap) will continue on as I keep writing the ideas. I guess that's all my rant for now. 'Til then.. :D

Hey guys!! Woo hoo! I finally got my new Macbook Pro! :) I know for sure graphic designers need these. I think the timing was just perfect. Anyway, I am still trying to learn the tricks and the apps and all that good stuff. I hear it is very user friendly. The only thing I found out about this awesome device is that it doesn't play Sony videos unless converted to MP4 or Quicktime. Makes sense for Quicktime since it is an Apple product. So looks like it'll take a while for me to learn in converting my future vids to MP4 and such. I will still be editing on my PC. :P Sony Vegas usually doesn't have a MAC version but they have Final Cut Pro. Makes me wonder when I'll actually learn to use that program. I'm hoping fast and soon. ^_^ I'm just really excited on using it already.

At the moment also, I have been looking everywhere for visual effects. My best bet for now will be Adobe After Effects. I'm just thankful that Adobe products has a MAC version. Prior to that, I've been looking for vocational art schools that teaches visual effects. I believe most art institutions have online classes so I will research on more for that. My good friend recently gave me a graphics tablet for christmas. I barely started using it until last night. Takes some time in getting used to but I am already loving the outcome of it.

As for creating media (videos.) Looks like I'm trying to set myself for the right time in getting back into it again. I have a collab video in pending so I will force myself to finish that by tomorrow so it'll be out by Saturday. Whew!! Need so much to take care of. Anyway, I'm sure that goes for everybody. Everyone is busy... Alright readers, for those few, those are my current update. Be writing again soon. :)

Hi guys! Ok so I finally had the time to put up another Behind The Video. hehe.. This one is from my 1st Christmas video called, "It's Christmas." It's basically a parody of one of those infommercials trying to sell you a CD of some sort. All singing is exaggerated and of course, it's just for fun! :) I believe this video is over 2 years old. Wow! It has been that long really? Even things have changed for YouTube with it's screen format and great video quality.

It was really fun doing this video. I didn't really get to see the behind the scenes of this until now. I was cracking up on how goofy I was before the production began. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this Behind The Video as much as I did for "It's Christmas."



Here is a graphic design of the CD Cover for this spoof made from Photoshop CS2. Haha! Just too goofy!
