Season's Beatings III Photo Gallery Up!

Yup...it was legendary

Thanks guys...it was a blast being there and learning a whole lot from playing and watching.  VDO's Rogue is ridiculous and Justin's Strider is insane! Got a new found interest in playing Guilty Gear [it really is difficult figuring out which version to invest a serious amount of time in if you're a noob].  Didn't get a chance to see the ends of Smash/CvS2/MvsC2 and all the rest! It really was a lot to cover, but it was fun doing it.  Hopefully next year I'll enter...

Edit: Due to the tons of e-mail I've been getting about these photos...after the jump is a photobucket link to all the rest of the shots of SBIII [they are low-res and some...if not most of them...suck]

GIMP 2.6 released and I'm playing with...

It's like Photoshop...only bland to look at!

I've heard about GIMP for years, but I have never tried it.  I have decided that paying for stuff sucks, which is what I've been doing for the past couple years with Adobe products.  I'm going to test out GIMP 2.6 in the next couple weeks so expect updates...and hell...i may even open up that photo gallery so cleverly hidden on this site!

Stop Frame Animator Makes an HD Movie The Old Fashioned Way

Light-Paint Piano Player from Ryan Cashman on Vimeo.

In lieu of me posting the new, fancy HD-movie ready D-SLR cameras; I thought it would be a good change of pace to show what can still be down with 'old technology' D-SLRs. I don't think I have to say how freaking difficult this is, but just in case...does anybody remember the California Raisin's commercials? Well those were actual built models...this guy, Ryan Cashman has a series of 20-30 second exposures, where in he lines them up and editted them into one movie which has his own music in it.  How's that for inspiring?  I believed he used a Canon Digital Rebel as well.

New Crack: EOS 5D Mark II D-SLR

My god...that is some sexyness staring back at me.

How could I forget to post this last week? Canon has decided to let the public in on its new top secret weapon, the EOS 5D Mark II D-SLR.  In what seems to be an almost direct response to Nikon's D90, Canon's new behemoth will also be one of the first D-SLR's with the ability to shoot video. The difference, well...besides Canon's video specs being at 1080p and the D90 being at 720p...not much.
