It's been a couple of weeks since I posted a motion graphics special effects video.
This one has been in the pipe for about 3 weeks and I worked on it on and off over that time, and it finally gelled today. During the 3 weeks I learned about tracking tools that greatly simplify the animation process.
Let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy it!

歡迎來到數位時代，如果你認同，請你分享手上的那朵蓮花，請分享你最愛的MV給這個世界。

nodal ninja 5L
for shooting 360 spherical panoramas/HDRIs. when traveling, i don't pack it in the travel case it comes with. i just throw it wrapped in camera cloth and it takes up less room.
i know with a 180 degree lens i technically don't need a 2 axis nodal ninja but i might use a different camera occasionally and this allows me to use any body.

An ode to one of my favourite all time bands: The Police.
80s music rocks!
I got the idea for this from the cover art work on their 3rd album Zenyatta Mondatta.
A 3D pyramid seemed like the next logical step after doing 3D cubes.
I did manage to figure out how to make the rendering go a lot faster and am now using all 8 i7 cores to render -- makes things go A LOT faster!!! =)
Nikon DG-2
magnifiying cup for my D300 eyepiece that can swing off. In the "Use" position.
I use this when photographing props, textures, miniatures, even things further to see a little bit better and make sure i'm in focus.
Hilti PD38
this is a laser range meter. you point and press the big button and it gives you the distance, very accurately.
Pros:
- works good in sunlight
- shock/drop protected
- it can calculate area and volume for you but i usually don't have to do that on the fly.
- it has bluetooth connectivity to a pc (windows/BOO) or a pda (again windows/SUCK). so when i press the button and take a measurement, it sends the number over to the pda in an excel spreadsheet cell. VERY NICE and saves me from human error and my bad penmanship. surveying a location or set by myself (as i'm usually forced to do) this is a time-saver. when i have an assist with me, we can do a lot of data collecting very quickly.
Cons:
- the bluetooth only talks to PC/Windows machines. it's stupid because all it's doing is sending a number, i wish they would have an SDK or something.
- they don't make this anymore. but you can still find new ones in stock remaining in stores and at their own warehouse.
I'm saving up for the Leica Disto D8 which has a color screen, and everything my Hilti does. The good news is Leica will work with software people to try and get their laser meters to work with your software via bluetooth.
The bad news is the D8 doesn't look like it has much protection, I have dropped my laser from serious heights and it's survived. (yet for some reason the plastic sheet protector for the screen has never come off).
wired shutter remote with lock trigger. essential when doing run-n-gun hdri and your not tethered/firing from the laptop. if you press the shutter release while the body is on the tripod and/or panorama head, you risk shaking the camera.
i always try and hang a small sandbag on my tripod near the top of the tripod to firm it up. i rotate the head, wait a beat for the camera to settle and then fire from the remote. i bracket exposures between 5 and 11 shots per angle. i usually only do 4 angles every 90 degrees.
i pack two of these, when i travel, and they're packed in separate bags. it's exactly when you need to replace one that you can't find one for a hundred miles...
Another short scene from the Battle of Hoth.
The Bandai snowspeeder kits we've been working on for about a month. Picked them up in January at the Comic Hunter.
The 1981 MPC AT-AT is from my youth. Our plan is to eventually get some newer Bandai AT-ATs and AT-STs and stage a really big battle.
If I seem fixated on this scene... the answer is probably yes. LOL.
Empire is probably my favourite sci-fi movie, and really blew my mind when I was a kid when I saw it when it was new in 1980.
片頭配樂選歌：9m88《九頭身日奈》
配樂歌詞選段：「他們曾有九頭身稱號 觀眾都拍手叫好 想要握手 想要擁抱」
入圍影片宣言：美得各式各樣，就是不要一樣
片頭配樂選用歌手9m88《九頭身日奈》描摹時下女性千百種不同姿態，再也不需要跟別人一樣，聲音場景彷彿置身舞蹈教室的音響播放器或者Ballroom、百貨公司，各種各式各樣的人與器物，女孩嘰嘰喳喳，搭配不同人物行為，喝飲料、拍照，等在後台時放鬆做著各式各樣的事。
插畫設計靈感來自香港老電影「空中小姐」以及「上海之夜」橋段，以渴望成名的少女們寓意，如何打發等待的時間，思考是否真的需要符合世俗審美標準才是擁有美貌？就讓音樂呈現現代女子的各式各樣，不需要膠原蛋白，自信自在歌唱心中所愛。

片頭配樂選歌：脆弱少女組《因為你承載了我的靈魂》
配樂歌詞選段：「從一個角色變成另一個角色 因為你乘載了我的靈魂」
入圍影片宣言：為靈魂找到最有重量的地方
配樂選用脆弱少女組《因為你承載了我的靈魂》描摹青春歲月中不斷出現的迷離與逃避。片頭音效以彷彿置身太空島嶼中失去電力關機的數位訊號，隨著場景轉換，加入動植物與自然元素，越來越多的綠意生機浮現，片尾呼應片頭關機的音效隱喻，以為靈魂重新充電作為收尾。
事實上，厭世青年從來不只是厭世，更是對這世界有太多的愛，當你心有所愛，便不忍世界頹敗。主角身處自身黑暗荒蕪的宇宙漂浮島嶼，歷經支離破碎與風浪摧折，卻終於能夠遇見乘載靈魂的所在，終於能與自己共處，一如專輯創作與製作人總是歷經對話、碰撞，終將看見創作的重量，某一天，也許會看見出口，以真實的生命經驗、創作對話成就美好專輯。

Suunto PM-5 Clinometer
with this and your brain to do a little math, you can calculate height, slope and vertical of almost anything. good for big surveys of things like trees, houses, terrain.
片頭配樂選歌：草東沒有派對《⼤風吹》
配樂歌詞選段：「哭啊 喊啊 叫你媽媽帶你去買玩具啊」
入圍影片宣言：搶位子，不如找位子
入圍影片以去年新人獎得主草東沒有樂隊《大風吹》寓意新世代打破既有主流印象，音效場景在國小的運動會上，歌曲播放的載體是學校操場司令台的廣播喇吧，音效呈現較勁、競爭、搶位子競賽，歡呼、喝采、加油的聲浪。
每個時代都說一代不如一代，但也許每個世代本身的特色從來就無法比較，每一代都有自己認同的典範價值，畫面中穿著中學制服的人物有各式各樣的工具與方式，象徵新生代集結資源、懂得分享、善用工具，打破不平等制度、資訊不透明的流程、資源與權力被壟斷的社會，新世代不再需要需要競逐虎頭上的王位，而是彼此共享串連，創作截然不同的大膽新銳作品，讓音樂說話，沒有人能夠定義每一代的英雄。

Green Cube Solo!
made of pine. exactly 12" cubed. open on one side and padded inside. it also holds the chrome/grey ball.
Calculated Industries Frame Master II
This thing has saved my ass more times than i can count. When you and the editor are tired and stupid from no sleep, this thing is a god send. it can convert any timecode/filmcode/frames of any rate. The Foot+frame conversion to Minutes:Seconds with one button push is great, push the button again and it shows time code (ndf, df). You can program a frame rate in memory and it will convert for that as well.
the button layout, the ease of use, even the sturdy build of this thing (which has lasted easily over 10 years) is awesome. i have tried every software/iphone framecode/timecode calculator out there and none are this easy and this fast.
the ONLY con is it is not backlit but that is the only complaint i have.
p.s. Calculated industries don't make these anymore and don't plan to. somebody write some letters!
Nikon magnifiying cup for my D300 eyepiece that can swing off.
I use this when photographing props, textures, miniatures to see a little bit better.
Leatherman.
don't get the keychain, mini or ones with plastic colored handles.
if it's not heavy, grey and can hurt you, you probably have the wrong one.
this one has sawing knife for rope, a finer knife for cutting filament, screwdriver, wire cutters, pliers. and optional bit-kit.
Leatherman 830160 Surge Pocket Multitool with Leather Sheath
i also like the Gerber multi-tools as well.
i actually bought this to hang framed photos at my place. now i use it to layout tracking markers evenly across floors and walls.
Pros:
- it can screw onto a tripod
- it is self leveling
- three modes: vertical line, horizontal line, crosshair
Cons:
- good for about 30 feet
- not great in sunlight

25 foot tape measure
sometimes lasers don't work especially for props or pieces with nothing to bounce off of.
- english and metric
- really bright tape with BIG numbers so you can see them in darker corners, etc.
- backside of tape has a vertical read scale to make reading up and down walls easier
- the tip has a hook and is magnetic, very helpful when you're doing measuring alone. the magnet is strong enough to hold the whole tape fully extended.
i have broken 2 of these (this is my 3rd). they don't make them anymore because i think they finally got smart and evolved the model to have a rubber casing to protect from drops.
[UPDATE: BROKEN]
nikon mb-10 extra battery and vertical grip.
my D300 fires pretty fast, so i don't use it that much when doing sphericals. i do use it for still photography of textures, photogrammetry elements and reference stills.
