All this outdoors activity seems to have been having a negative effect on Keef’s recordings of late, but holy shit is that the Temple Run swipe noise they’ve sampled here?

Dude, I’ve been doing so much keying. SO MUCH KEYING. And I’m a fully self-taught occasional-video dude working in Premiere Pro CS6 after abandoning my PC and Sony Vegas two years ago who did no preparation and sort of worked it all out as I went along, and ony now, at the end toruous (but fun) process am I starting to discover people like Red Giant have incredible turbo-featured keying suites that do all the stuff I spent ages figuring out work arounds for

Unfortunately Red Giant’s perfect-looking Key Correct Pro Suite is After Effects only, and I haven’t learned how to use that yet. Maybe I’m going to have to, but right now it would be lovely to have a keying thing in Premiere Pro CS6 that does lighting matching and decent spill suppression and screen smoothing and colour matching and light wraps.

I’ve been using BCC for those last two, after discovering the concept of the mystical sounding  ”light wrap” roughly half way through the process. I only this evening discovered if I’d known how to use After Effects and had used Key Correct I could have smoothed out all my uneven green screen backgrounds and removed digital distortion from the footage and got rid of the green tint on the edges of some of the figures. Basically, if I started over tomorrow and redid all he work I’ve done since May 29th I’d be able to make something way more convincing. Fuck!

Never mind, that up top is a still from this thing I’ve been working on that’s nearly done, and you can tell it’s pretty flipping ACE. Apologies to those for whom this is all Greek.

PAX!

I saw Ranking Roger on Saturday at Croissant Neuf after we played. Dude was BRILLIOR. Played loads of awesome tunes off of an Ipad and performed a bunch of his own tings, including an Andrew WK-solo-show-esque version of this.

TechCrunch reports:

If you’ve been to San Francisco in the past few months, you’ll know that the entire city is plastered with iPad advertisements. The situation is even more out of control now that it’s WWDC week and thousands of Apple developers are in from out of town. So one rogue group of artists decided to have a little fun.

The group Freedom From Porn has been going all around the city and altering the iPad ads to add a little porn to them. To be clear, these aren’t really explicit additions, instead, they’re more subversive. For example, see the Steve Jobs’ Facebook page below.

The group, which has this blog, is apparently doing this because they think Jobs’ take that the App Store should befree of porn is crap.

Anyone out there on the streets still seeing these or has Apple managed to take them all down?

Be sure to check out the video below.

Props to TheAlScott.
