Ratchet and Clank Movie

It's almost 2015 and the Ratchet and Clank Movie is almost finished in production!

Can't wait for this movie.. 

This movie will be a retelling of the original game. 

Also, the Movie company has released a new poster! Looking great so far!

DVD and CD Cover for Trailer - The Darkness

For the final Graphic Design assignment we had to create a DVD Cover based on the trailer. From my sketches, I came up with this cover and I am quite satisfied of how it came out. My intention was to make it really dark and red smoke to show the darkness within and that there will be violence in this film. 

We also had to create a CD Cover for the DVD. I made it similar to the front cover.

Re-filming CSR Advert

We got feedback from our lecturer and I knew what he was going to say. It has plenty of room for improvement. We decided to re-film it for a better quality advert. We decided to film with a DSLR this time and use the same Lights.

The Lighting and colour turned out better with the DSLR without any colour correction and we also took care of headroom. 

Shadows are better, even the lighting.

 The lighting was hard to set up to do it as the first time. The lighting was so dark so one member of our group suggested this nice shot and so we improved this part. 

We also decided not to show the messy things and focus more on the messages being sent to the victim.

 Due to low lighting we came up with this interesting shot. Lighting is definitely better in the new re-shoot.

The first filming shot is so over exposed! We managed to take care of it the second time and focus more on his face by filming a Close up.

In my opinion, if we didn't re-film I am still saying to myself how badly it is filmed. I am really satisfied now with colour, lighting and even acting. The message is more clear.

Our Lady of Sorrows

I love these days when we're in the holidays and I listen to funeral marches to get into the good friday spirit.

Yesterday was Our Lady of Sorrows and I made a painting of the statue in Qormi St George. 

Working on CSR Advert

One of our assignments was to do a Corporate Social Responsibility Advert. We discussed as a group we were going to do it on Cyberbullying. 

This day didn't go quite as planned. Something happened and I stayed 3 hours in the sun protecting the equipment! When I arrived home, we began filming instantly. I think we didn't set the back focus right on the JVC and filming outside came like crap. The sharpen was very bad. 

We filmed the inside also but only 2 lights were working out of 3 and we had problems setting up the lighting to ensure that there aren't any shadows. The lighting ended up being bad too in some shots.

This advert also exceeded the time limit with 18 seconds. Re-filming this advert is the best thing we can do now. 

Filming the Trailer - Behind the Scenes

These are some photos taken during filming of our trailer - 'The Darkness'

 

Me, drawing the birthmark on the character's hand.

 The classroom scene is an extra one which didn't make it in the trailer.

I was a Boom Operator in this scene.

In this scene I was an Assistant Camera Operator and I also drew the birthmark on Jake's hand.

Recording with my Weasel-Pal!

In late 2013, Pirate Weasel was born and we started Let's Plays together (co-commentary gaming). With Pirate Weasel, there is also the cameraman. This cameraman is not like any other cameraman. He controls the camera(or in some cases, starting and stopping the recordings), annoys us and also serving as a kitchen-man cooking us meals. He makes good crackers! and pizza!
We are almost finished with our first Let's Play I love working with my friend to entertain our fans! :)
