Video Vault: Flirting with Linux

Some thoughts on Linux, and showing you around my OS.

New Video: How I Broke up with Adobe

Sup peeps. New video just dropped. You might notice the title is similar to a video I dropped a posted in here a couple months back. Because of the interest , I decided to make a more polished, extended version for public consumption.

My MegaMonster Rig

My monster computer rig, has merged with my monster camera rig, into some ungodly abomination. Please excuse the surrounding mess and destruction.

I'm building a setup for a new longer form video format. I'm experimenting with a new workflow whereby I record directly to the timeline. So far it's pretty cool. It's like recording takes for a song, but in video.

In the spirit of breaking up with Adobe, I'm also switching over to linux. We'll see how that goes.

Latest project screenshots

Here's some WIP for the video I'm working on. It's my first big project using no Adobe software. Which has been a learning experience.
But so far so good.

I'm compositing these in Da Vinci Resolve. I'm really impressed with how well the contrast can be boosted without banding or pixelation.

Next step is compositing the backgrounds in from Unreal Engine.

Have a good weekend everyone!
