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

Hello everyone! Looks like "Geek Week" of YouTube already passed and yesterday was the last day. Since I've been trying to keep up with trends and such, thought I'd do my very own geek week video.

There are many different ways of being a "Geek." There are a variety of interests such as video games, tech, collectibles, t-shirts, cosplay, and so on.. For my specific interest, I like doing characters since it's fun to do a different persona. Thought I'd post these photos prior to the video. Just a few eye candy and fun stuff for the "Geeky" like myself. Hehe.. 

Hello everyone! I'm BACK! :D Welcome to my post on my video "Situations - The Smell." Haha! This video is actually base on people who actually don't take care of themselves. With that I mean by not having good hygiene. :P I'm pretty sure a lot of us would like to be out there and be presentable to family, friends, and new people. This makes you realize why some people don't think about this.

I've had this idea for a long while and it's finally nice to put it out there! What a way to begin in doing videos again. Hehe. It all begins with a "Situation" episode.

I made a little department store set during this shoot. Haha! I think this was my only main set feature for this video since the grey wall is just a plain set up for little scenes. It was actually fun putting together. The poster was from my Bazaar or Vogue magazine from the U.K. Since my friend Holly went to England recently, she gladly brought me those magazines since I have a separate blog for style and the arts. :) Anyway, I placed that pedestal to hold my sweaters since my existing table was too short to support them. I wanted to add a little bit of height so my camera can see it. I added scarves in the drawers as well. I just opened my closet to reveal hanging clothing since that's pretty close to what you would see at a department store. Haha!

 

If you haven't noticed at the very top, I recently purchased that blackboard and wrote "I'm Back!" with an anime of me. Hehe! Thought it was a nice comeback in doing online media. ;) Here is the Behind The Video:


Thanks for reading/viewing! :D

Hey guys,

Just wanted to do a little update on what's going on with me. I recently entered the Insidious Chapter 2 Casting Call contest. Hehe.. So funny because I don't think I've ever entered a film contest until this happened and you can submit a YouTube video explaining why you love the movie so much or act a part in the film. Anyway, I'm just seeing how this will go. If it doesn't happen for me, I'm hoping it will open doors for me at least. ^_^ The way I should really see this is if God allows it to happen, it will happen. ;) I would like to share the video entry with you guys but I am also saving it for my future Paro-Film of Insidious. Some of you already know I also like to make mini parody movies of films I love. Hehe.. The movie Insidious really scared the crap out of me! I haven't seen a really good haunted house type of film until that came out.

Here's a little vlog from my ItsCreativeSoul channel. I am trying to be more consistent on that other channel too. Whew, really pays off to make time for things.



Anyway, just like what I've mentioned on the video, I will also be creating more videos soon for xCreativexSoulx channel. So tune in guys! :) Once, the Paro-Film for Insidious gets released, I will also share photos of the actual exterior house of the Haunted House used in the film Insidious. Thanks for reading/viewing.

Sincerely,
Kits

 

Haha! How cool would it be to own a monster chair like this? It's called the Moyee Monster Chair. This incredible design was made by Jason Goh, inspired by a little story his Grandma made up if he didn't eat and played with his food. This is supposed to be a gigantic fishball! If you didn't eat it, it will consume you. Haha! I would love to have something like this in my bedroom. Looks so cute!! It even has a red tongue sticking out. Although not for sale, it's actually exhibiting right now at the National Museum of Singapore until January 27th. 

I had found this story on the DailyMail and got the resource thru this website:

Anyway guys, more videos soon! ;)

The story of Devozione N°5 came after the famous Brad Pitt Chanel N°5 commercial aired. A lot of media parodied the infamous commercial like SNL and other YouTubers. It's really funny because the original commercial didn't make sense and already seemed like a parody in itself. It's just Brad Pitt talking as the camera was moving forward while the light was swinging reflected against a blended gray background. As for me, I referenced my commercial parody to the original Devozione cologne commercial I had 4 years ago. I thought it was really fun to do and a great kick-starter for for more videos to come since I've been in hiatus for a long time.

I had to memorize the original script and had to tweak it a bit for comedy. I'm glad to be able to have a good RODE microphone that picks up great sound from a distance. Since I already have a gray background, I was able to utilize it for the 57 second scene. :) I used my existing Gucci cologne as the Devozione N°5 model.

Here's the original Brad Pitt ad on Chanel N°5:

Here's my video parody:

And finally, the Behind The Video of Devozione N°5:

Hello everyone,

Always be thankful for what you already have and always be thankful for upcoming blessings coming your way. Here's the short Thank You video:

 Hello all,

As you know, the photoblogging site DailyBooth has officially shut down today. Yesterday was the last time for anyone to upload a picture.

DailyBooth is a site where you can upload photos of yourself each day with a caption to pretty much document your life each day in pictures. :) DailyBooth was founded by Jon Wheatley and lead developer Ryan Amos and began in February 2009. After gaining popularity by Celebrities and YouTube stars, tons of people started signing up. Anyone can follow any user and comment on their pictures just like any other social network. Anyway, it's been fun using this photoblogging site while it lasted. Here is a video I created 2 years ago about the popular site. :)


DailyBooth you will be missed. Here are a few collection of photos I had uploaded during my time on DailyBooth. :)

Thank you for reading guys! :D Will write more soon.

Hey everyone! So the new season of The Walking Dead has begun! :D For fun, I decided to do a zombie vlog as a starter for the new season of xcreativexsoulx' YouTube also. I had a lotta fun applying the zombie make-up. During the airing premiere of "The Walking Dead" I was in a rush to get it done so I wouldn't miss the opening of the new season. I was also thinking of doing a step-by-step on how to do the make-up. There are many tutorials on YouTube and I guess this would be my take if I ever decided to do the how-to in applying the zombie make-up. Of course, the how to videos will probably be an entirely new YouTube channel since I'd like to categorize my videos. And the prosthetic application will be an entirely different area falling under the make-up/fashion category. Although I already have an existing fashion/style channel that I haven't utilized yet.

Anyway, my cousins and sister were able to be a part of my zombie vlog because we had filmed the comedic zombie sequences a year ago. The clips were barely released because I figured it was the perfect timing for the opening season. We had a lotta fun doing it and that was the moment when downtown Long Beach had the zombie walk. My cousin Erwin had told me about it so we thought of going and it was a lotta fun! :D So I'd like to thank my sister Chloe, cousins' Francesca and Erwin for helping me create the sequences. ^_^

Here's the original video:


And behind the video:

Sometimes in our lives, there are things or people that gets us down. We go through all the hurts and pains, feel less motivated, turned down, etc.. But we should always remember that there's family and friends that can lift you back on your feet. At the same time, people that you admire also can remind you that you are a great person! Sometimes a simple reply from somebody that you look up too can give you joy and hope. Also think about your great assets and talents and how you can contribute to anyone and give them joy. :D

I recently went through a down point in my life. But the Lord was there to get me back up again. It's truly wonderful how he really speaks to you. Sometimes, it can be thru a person, or television, or just by reading the bible. His messages carry out everywhere. We should also remember that any sadness or depression that we go through is a reminder that God is there for you. All we need to do is listen. Hear what he's trying to tell us. Miraculously, that wisdom and knowledge will flow through you spiritually and you'll understand.

Anyway I wanted to just share this with all of you and let you know that you are special. Whatever happens in our very lives has nothing compared to what's about to come. The unending joy and happiness, the blessings, and all the good things. I hope this blog will reach out to you at a good time. ^_^

Hehe. Just thought I'd share little inspirational tweets from Kandee and Christine. Just proof that any simple message from people you admire can also lift you up. :)

Have a great weekend guys! It's almost here! :D
