I respect Nolan highly as a movie maker and love almost all of his films. His cinematic syle just really speaks to me.
DKR was good, there was enough to make me appreciate it for what it was. But it's safe to say that I wasn't blown away by it as opposed to the Dark Knight which really is the best in the trilogy. In a way, successful movies tend to be the ones that are able to hit certain trends in society and bounce off of the zeitgeist so ]]> http://hideyoshi.deviantart.com/journal/Photoshop-CS5-color-picker-287879296 http://hideyoshi.deviantart.com/journal/Photoshop-CS5-color-picker-287879296 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:00:13 PST Photoshop CS5 color picker nonadult journals/personal Hideyoshi http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/i/hideyoshi.jpg?2 Copyright 2012-2013 ~Hideyoshi
Anybody who has always wanted to have a shortcut for the color picker: Alt+Shift+right-click brings it up! Not sure if this works in CS4, too. It's different than the standard picker also, the color selection is swift and intuitive. Hover over color, release buttons!
So whoever didn't know, this comes in handy I think. :)
Well, if not, that's also ok. The world still goes round.

PS: Also, brushtool selected, clicking alt+right-click and dragging resizes brush.

I wonder how many comments I'll read about how I was the last person to know these things lol. ]]> http://hideyoshi.deviantart.com/journal/New-York-215683554 http://hideyoshi.deviantart.com/journal/New-York-215683554 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 23:45:49 PDT New York nonadult journals/personal Hideyoshi http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/i/hideyoshi.jpg?2 Copyright 2011-2013 ~Hideyoshi

My brother & me worked on a music video as actors and fight performers.

Yeah, that's right. I have never talked about this secret passion of mine on here but there is always a first! :P
Anyway, it's a music video for a German band from Frankfurt called Morning Boy. The new song is called Trippin Children.
We choreagraphed, directed and also edited the fight scenes. The rest was done by Alain Brunotte, a young filmmaker from Mainz.
The video is featured on a pretty big German TV station's website - Pro Sieben!!

Shibuya is maybe not as crazy as I thought it would be. That, or it's not yet dawning on me that I am actually in Tokyo.

Wow, I am so excited!!
It actually won Best animated picture at the Malibu Film Festival and received awesome reactions from the audiences.
As you know, I worked as art director/concept artist on this, creating all the designs for the scorpion tank, the flying drone, cars and of course city-scape, the wall area including the turrets (heck, I even designed the lamp posts). Plus, they seem to have used one of my paintings as a matte background :D
I should be able to post all the concept art that I did on here, so stay tuned!

Serisouly, don't watch this anywhere else than in a 3D cinema! You will realize for the first time what it means to really get immersed into a fatastical world.

For those who don't know, James Cameron developed a new 3D stereoscopic camera system ('Virtual Camera' ) that allows him to see his actors turned into CG characters and set in CG environments in real-time while shooting and also lends extensive 3D depth to the images.

Go watch it!
Unfortuntely I saw it in German and realized just once again how synchronisation can diminish the quality drastically... :/
I thought it wouldn't be such a biggie with no-name actors, but I was wrong.

I was mostly impressed with the development and transition from nerd to badass of the main character - that was very well done and believable! This newcomer's acting was top-notch!
Also the VFX were incredible of course.
Interestingly, the story was way different from what I expected from seeing the trailers...

Now I wanna see it again and also look forward to a very possible sequel! :)
