Stickam lol

Hi thar.

Last night I was working on my music video. I decided to scrap my original idea and start from scratch. I've divided it into 3 parts. The first part is Space invaders, but I'm animating it in flash, to the timings of the music, which I'm making as I go along, so that it fits perfectly with the video. The second half is Tetris, which I'll animate and render in 3DS Max, which will also have the bricks falling and moving in time to the music, and the third part will be live action.

I've had multiple ideas for the live action part. I think I'm either going to use the footage I already shot, of me and my friends playing a song in a garage, and overlay the Rock Band notes flying in as we play, or I could get me and a friend dressed up as Pac-man and a Ghost chasing each other though Churchill Square. I'd love to do the latter, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to make a Pac-Man and Ghost suit. I'll try, and if I succeed, I'll do that, however, it might be better to play it safe and use my original footage and go with the Rock Band /Guitar Hero idea.

Whilst having a break last night, I also set up Stickam. It's basically Myspace, but instead of have a profile picture, or videos or stuff, you set up your web cam to stream live footage over the web. So, now you can watch me do boring things like work, or not be in the room, or stare at my monitor, or play something on the PS2. Oh what fun.

It's more an experiment to see if anyone will actually watch it, or if it'll get any attention at all. I already had one girl trying to flirt with me. However, I can't take online dating, or flirting online, or anything like that seriously, so I proceeded to the whole "I put on my robe and wizard hat" routine. She didn't appreciate it, and she probably didn't know that I'd be posting it on my blog. So hi Aural in California.

You can see what I'm doing right now by scrolling down to "Womble Vision" at the bottom of the page. It doesn't always default to the web feed, so click the button which kinda looks like a web cam. It's not obvious, but since the others are obvious what they are, it shouldn't be too hard to work out using the process of elimination.
