Greetings all,
The siggraph video is up!



Summary:
This is a narrative music video that was inspired by the CNR music video produced by Jib Jab. It’s the story of a man who is renowned for his cinematography skills. He has won many awards, which leads into his pompous and egotistical attitude. His only strife in life is to stay “on top” and gain constant approval from the art community and fans but has the hardest time topping what he’s already done. Mad with creative juices he jumps off a cliff hoping to capture the climatic fall and be recognized once again.

Medium:
All of the characters were shot with a Fuji s200 digital camera on a green screen. The backgrounds were composited in Photoshop. All of the source files were put together and edited in After Effects,

Music:
Eagles of Death Metal - English Girl

You can check out some of the background composites in my last post here:

Went camping this past weekend took some photos and sketched out some landscapes. Those will make appearances soonish.

Here are some background composites of a recent project I have been working on with some fellow mates for a siggraph project. I'll add a link to the final animation when it is uploaded to vimeo :)

Hello all,
It has been awhile since my last post so I figured I'd share with you kind folk a behind the pixels look at my new profile pic for facebook.

green screen(after cropping)

This image came out of a green screen shooting run that ran all night for another project I am currently working on.

color corrected and centered

I decided to go for a saving private ryan feel with less saturation and higher contrast.

detail composite

I added cigar embers, smoke, grunge, text, and markings

background composite

For the background I downloaded images of a brickwall, plaster walls and bullethole. I then composited and color corrected the images to create a wartorn backdrop for the subject.

final composite

Here I added some wear and tear to the image to give it a more aged look.

Hello all,
I am involved with multiple projects and preparing for the summer so have not had much time to upload work here or on my website: www.bluetimestwo.com. Here are a few images of what I was doing over the Easter weekend and last half of the week other than enjoying good food and fellowship in observance of the Lords resurrection day.

My newly designed business cards

These images are prints of my digital artwork being prepared for mounting.

Soon I'll have some timelapse videos uploaded soon which will show a little about how I work. Till next time this is Cobalt Cox blogging off, have fun folks!
