There is a video on the way… eventually.

I decided to be productive-ish and work on a video I’ve been meaning to finish (I also made homemade mac n cheese, it was gooood). I’m still not close to being done, maybe 1/4th of the way if anything. But I want this to be more than just a “lets play”. I said earlier this month that I wanted to add character representations of myself (and others if available) into my future projects instead of just doing straight recordings. To whet some appetites I did take make a couple pics to share.

I have a little more of “myself” to animate, but I have over half of THAT portion done. Then it’s onto Yutram and DG who will be easy in the sense that they have limbs to operate but no face. Which compliments my character who is all eye and no body, but that’ll change for a couple seconds later into the video. I experimented with cloaking and particles to make a magical transformation scene.

As clearly detailed by that picture, I’m morphing from one ball into two balls. Actually once the video is done you’ll be able to see what model those two balls belong to… Heh, don’t worry. It’s not like that at all. I mean c’mon, this isn’t RedTube.

In a world where companies eat each other.

For awhile I was contemplating joining blip.tv to get away from YouTube’s ever changing stupidity. But then they were purchased by Maker Studios which is a YouTube owned company. Now Maker Studios has been purchased by none other than Disney, who can’t seem to stop purchasing things like LucasArts and Marvel Comics.

On that note I wonder what the next starwars will look like. Will Goofy play Jar Jar Binks? Will the lightsabers have googly eyes and sing inspirational songs? And what about Marvel Comics? Maybe Donald Duck will become an XMen and Deadpool will grow Mickey Mouse ears.

YouTube is introducing a pay to subscribe service.

Not for all channels mind you, just for certain ones.

A new chapter in online video is about to begin. YouTube is prepping to launch paid subscriptions for individual channels on its video platform in its latest attempt to lure content producers, eyeballs, and advertiser dollars away from traditional TV, according to multiple people familiar with the plans.

I wonder how long it’ll take for people to capture the videos from said channels and put them on a site that doesn’t charge for subs. 😛
