			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m really starting to dig into the film world and it is quite a vast realm to sort through. From the different producers, directors, camera operators and all the tools that are associated with production it can seem overwhelming to find out where to start. I came across a great resource for tools, reviews and just the latest in the film world, a website called filmtools.com. The name really speaks for itself. There are so many great reviews of the latest trends, gear and tools that film makers, new independent film makers could use to get all the knowledge they need before they hit the real field.</p>
<p>Whats cool is that they dont just cover the most expensive gear, they cover some of the coolest stuff for a wide range of products. the <a href="http://filmtools.wordpress.com/2010/04/02/owle-bubo-iphone-housing-includes-camera-mount-lens-and-mic/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/filmtools.wordpress.com/2010/04/02/owle-bubo-iphone-housing-includes-camera-mount-lens-and-mic/?referer=');">iPhone OWLE Bubo </a>is this housing for your iPhone that has a grip, an external mic as well as a interchangeable lens! They have a great article that shows a comparison and a full review of the product. They sell it too at a discounted price.</p>
<p>From their main website you can buy all the greatest gear, with discounted prices, their blog gives indepth reviews and true opinions from people that do this as a living every day and I&#8217;d trust their insights any day. I&#8217;d love to know of any other sites you might know of that teaches, discovers and tests the limits of the gear and trade that I have grown to love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two giants have found a way to connect and let me just say that it was a relationship that was long overdue. Yesterday Amazon announced its beta release of Facebook Connect. Usually when I shop for things its for something specific but thats only because I did some research with friends or even dragged them to a store. What they have come up with is pretty brilliant and exciting.</p>
<p>First things first&#8230; They will not share what you have purchased because that would be a little embarrassing if you bought some sort of sexy toys for a retreat with your girlfriend or wife and all your friends knew about it. Just saying. Go to the <a href="http://amazon.com/gp/facebook" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/amazon.com/gp/facebook?referer=');">Amazon Facebook setup page</a> and link your account. As soon as you get in, you get recommendations for products depending on what your likes, interests, favorites and key words from your profile.</p>
<p>One of the coolest features is seeing when your friends birthdays are and the gift suggestions they have for those people. So not only do you get to be reminded of up coming birthdays but you dont have to stress about what you are going to buy for them. In a pinch this is going to save people.</p>
<p>I connected my FB page with Amazon and its pretty cool. I love seeing all the recommendations as well as things i&#8217;d be interested in. Now I just need to go shopping! lol&#8230; I wonder if they are going to integrate a chat system so you can invite people to come help you pick something out. Directly from their signup page, here&#8217;s what they have to say:</p>
<h2>Will my personal Amazon data remain private?</h2>
<p>Your personal Amazon data will not be shared with Facebook:</p>
<ul id="ourPromise">
<li>Amazon will not share information from your account with Facebook.</li>
<li>Amazon will not share your purchase history with Facebook.</li>

<li>Amazon will never post anything to your Facebook Wall without your consent.</li>
</ul>
<p>For more information about Amazon&#8217;s privacy practices, please see our <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=468496/ref=snds_fb_privacy" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=468496/ref=snds_fb_privacy&amp;referer=');">Privacy Notice</a>.</p>
<p>For information about application and profile access, please visit Facebook&#8217;s <a href="http://www.facebook.com/terms.php" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.facebook.com/terms.php?referer=');">Statement of Rights and Responsibilities</a>.</p>
<h2>What are the benefits of connecting Amazon and Facebook?</h2>
<p>Tap into your Facebook network to improve your Amazon shopping experience:</p>
<ul id="ourPromise">
<li>Discover Amazon recommendations for movies, music, and more based on your Facebook Favorites and Likes.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For me music is such a core to who I am. It reflects who I was, what I&#8217;ve encountered, the emotions I&#8217;ve experienced and just an over all signature that simbolizes my life. I have explored most every genre of music and the styles that I stick with from childhood all the way to the music I DJ today maintains as a constant inside my heart. Ill be honest here, I&#8217;m not one for names of particular songs or memorizing who produced that track in which year at what studio, hell&#8230; I still dont have the lyrics memorized to some of my all time favorite songs but in my opinion; that doesn&#8217;t 100% matter. I think that many will argue that point and I encourage it because it really defines who we are. Thats a totally different topic though&#8230; <em>After writing this post it turned into a real history into who I am, what I experienced and how music was part of it.</em></p>
<p>Ill try to take this in a series from when I started listening to music that I wanted to listen to and up to today. I started with tapes and a lot of them were sort of random picks because I didn&#8217;t really know what I liked so I got a lot of Madonna tapes, Roy Orbison, and I think the first tape I ever wore out on my yellow sony portable sport tape player was Roxette. Holy crap that was like 1986 maybe 1988. What I remember is being in Poland with my brother in law and my nephew camping at the lake that my parents got married. While we were there Poland was playing the world cup, I was catching some sort of crayfish and I think I even chased a few girls around&#8230; hehe. That might have been the beginning of listening to music endlessly and oh boy did I love to rewind that tape. For those of you that may not know what  tape is&#8230; yeah I&#8217;m not gonna go there.</p>
<p>Let me summarize from there up to middle school. My brother really exposed me to so many different genres of music and I can&#8217;t thank him enough for it. From Bob Marley to Depeche Mode I looked up to everything that he wanted to share with me and crank over my little boombox. hahaha&#8230; oh that boombox live forever&#8230; How random is this, my first CD I ever bough was the Jetsons Movie Soundtrack. Yeah, thats right. The Jetsons. I think at first it was more the excitement of having a CD and then the songs grew on me. My neighbor looked at me all crazy for it. So FFW to middle school. This is when I was introduced to Rap. Well actually YO! MTV Raps introduced me to it (So happy I lived to see the beginning). I tried the whole baggy pants, shirts that went down to my knees with a picture of some spray paint can in the bottom left corner of the shirt and to tell you the truth I&#8217;m not sure how much I really like it and I was more just trying to fit in. That time in my life was more a phase and it lasted up to my first dance in 6th grade where I heard Red Hot Chili Peppers &#8211; Under the Bridge. It was an instant conversion to Alternative just like that pill that turned me raver from country. Yeah, ill get to that.</p>
<p>The Alternative rock era really defined the childhood problems I was going through. A little insight into what I use to deal with was alcoholism, abuse and lack of friendships. STP, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers and so many more were the release I needed to run from the pains I endured. Little did I know that those bands would live with me until the now and probably forever. Now with the Alternative came Rock and Heavy Metal&#8230; Oh my parents really loved me when I played Megadeath or Pantera and Metallica. 3 things I remember about, ok 4 things that I can Share. 1: Coming back from Great America with my &#8216;cousin&#8217; (not really, we were both just Polish) Marta, we drove past Shoreline Amphitheater and realized that we were missing the Nirvana concert&#8230; I think it was the last concert in the Bay before he shot him self. (R.I.P. Kurt, you died to soon.)  2: Playing Metallica &#8211; One at Martas house so many times and head banging so much that I literally, no seriously, literally could not hold my head up and I had to use my own hands to keep it afloat. 3: Marta bought me the Metallica Black album for my birthday at the Skating Rink (actual wheels) and it was one of the best presents I ever got for my birthday. I&#8217;m going to state that the album was their best album to ever be released. 4: The Metallica box album came out and we got our hands on it. Watched the live performance of Metallica on VHS in my room so loud that my parents heard all of the cussing, came upstairs pulled the VHS tape out, took the box set and it was never to be seen after that day&#8230; I saved the stencil though and painted it on my binders!! HA!</p>
<p>Highschool has to be the hardest time in a persons life. You are going through puberty, its all about fashion, status, cars, dating, clicks and everything else that comes with it. Now let me just say that up until high school I think that I can count the amount of friends I had with all my fingers and toes. I was not a popular guy but that first dance&#8230; the Aloha dance, Michelle Nessel picked me to be her boy friend and oh did my status change over night. I instantly had 3 football players hate me and I became friends with the most popular kinds in school because I landed the head cheer leader. Now let me remind you&#8230; I was an alternative rock kid that Rollerbladed. Yeah, long hair, metallica shirts and the head cheerleader. I had to adapt fast&#8230; but that really didnt happen because when my Grandma Passed (Love ya Grandma) my freshmen year in High School I became quite the angry little boy. I never really gave the top 40 music of that time a chance and I maintained my passion for Alternative and Heavy Metal.</p>
<p>Just a side note&#8230; I was in band from 5th grade through 12th grade playing in the Full Orchestra, Full Band, Quartette, Jazz Band  and Honor band. I played the trumpet as well as the french horn. In 5th grade I tried the violin (i dont know why) and it didnt really capture me. From there I wanted to play the Saxophone but we couldn&#8217;t afford it so I bough a trumpet at a little music shop that my mom made payments too. Nice of him to be that generous. And what kind of metal head musician would I be if I didnt try to play the guitar&#8230; Did that for a few years too. Jazz was my favorite because it was very complex, fast moving at times and you got to play solo&#8217;s and be very expressive. It also challenges you to try new things and push you limits. Miss that the most from my band experience. No band camp though&#8230;</p>
<p>So at some point in high school, around mid sophomore year or later I ended up becoming really good friends with the country click and it sort of began a whole new world for me. Friends from freshmen year also started to listen to country and we really dove deep into that genre. From the cowboy hats to the boots and buckle we would hop in our trucks, blair our country music and hit up all the rodeo&#8217;s and country clubs in the bay area. Oh yes&#8230; country. Now Country music is moving. Its real stories. What I love about it is the emotion that people put into their songs. The performances of the artists and of course the line dancing. So I didnt play an instrument I learned to line dance. So much so that I started teaching it during which I was learning country swing&#8230; There are so many different artists that I loved to listen to from Garth Brooks, Montgomery Gentry, Charlie Daniels, Hank Williams Jr. and Sr., and even the Dixie Chicks and Shania. The music was so much fun and to partner it with an activity like dancing was an experience that I will not forget. There was a lot of whisky and beer involved. To much whisky. I even turned my nephew country!! Got him a cowboy hat and all. My friends got him drunk at a party we had too&#8230; I said no drinking and they would secretly pass beers to him and he would run upstairs, chug the beer and come back for more. Good times.</p>
<p>So after high school and into my years of I have no idea what I want to do with my life so I will continue to drink and live care free my friends discovered raving. We were all into VW bugs and my friend Jason met Tamara who was a raver and country girl and she took them to their first rave -EDIT- (wait&#8230; don&#8217;t quote me on that, i&#8217;m not 100% sure that was at the way it happened the rest is accurate though.). I was all against it and yelled at them up and down about how its bad this and that.  Somehow they convinced me to try it once. No pressure right&#8230; Try it once, if you dont like it you dont have to do it again. So my first rave was at the old Q-Sar that closed down in Redwood City. We were shuttled in from across the freeway and during that shuttle ride I dropped for the first time. I really don&#8217;t remember much of the rest of the night because let me just say that I was riding high. So that is the pill that turned me raver. The next part we were at I had already bought raver pants and made some candi. It was the F8 campout in 2001. It was in the woods, 250 people, it had a beautiful garden and it was just such an unforgettable place and experience. Once the sun dropped down we got ready for the night ahead&#8230; a blue dolphin later I find myself floored infront of the speakers for&#8230; well I have no idea how long&#8230; But after I heard Mars play that epic set that Night I knew what I had to do&#8230; Become a DJ.</p>
<p>Starting my DJ career came to fruition a lot faster than I had expected. My sister (not by blood) lived a few doors down from me and little did I know&#8230; she had decks. A 2 channel Numark mixer with 2 Numark belt driven turntables! I borrowed those for probably 6 months. Thank you Kelly. I would not be here today with everything I have without those decks. =) My first set of records actually came from Tower records. I didnt know anything about the dance scene but I wanted to emerse myself in it. Shortly after I figured out that Tower Records was crap for good vinyl I began my crate digging at Remix Records in San Mateo. I really wanted to play trance and everything that Mars and Mystre were playing but I had no clue where to get their records. This is actually where Tamara comes in because Tamara actually took us over to House On The Hill in Hayward and introduced us to DJ Dingo and Reseese. (Sorry Daryl I butchered it I know&#8230;) Now this is where I got to play infront of my first crowd. It was one of the most nerve racking and exciting experiences ever. What made it so awesome was the encouragement that everyone in the house was learning and at the same point in knowledge. That was the true birth of DJ Foxx and my trance classics. And my Heelies. We partied there on Wednesdays. Oh yes&#8230; full blown parties on Wednesdays. At that time I looked to DJ&#8217;s in our local scene so Dyloot, DJ Denise, Morgan, Mars, Mystre and the rest of the top DJ&#8217;s in the bay for my musical inspiration. I knew what good songs were. What the hits were but I could never find any until I actually shopped at Skills DJ Workshop. Oh that was a money/time pit for so many of us but many was it all worth it. I&#8217;d do it 2 fold if I could do it again. Sitting in a record store and digging through the crates to hopefully find a gem that no one else had touched yet was amazing. Now my first gig, actual booking came from being friends with the promoters at Remix Records. James Dub booked me for my first show called Banana, opening up the upstairs room that was in a wherehouse above a 15ft half pipe. From Out of the Blue to Save the Rave I was droppin all the hard hittin tracks and I actually semi filled the room. That booking sent me forward to many more great adventures.</p>
<p>I hope I&#8217;ve kept with my inspirational music story throughout this because my life, the one you just had a glimps of is reflected through the music I listened to at the time. It really defined who I was and am today. I&#8217;m going to skip the next 10 years in the story and come to you as of now. The times have changed so much and the music has evolved because of the technology and all the artists that have really driven the path of production. I must say that my all time favorite artist is Sasha. The album that did it for me was Involver. It was such an amazing beyond now sound with such a seamless flow that to this day it lives on my iPhone, iPod, multiple CD&#8217;s and every computer that I need to be on. Its not the style of music that I DJ. Thats sort of on a different realm. The music I DJ is inspired by Sasha but the artists I choose from are Umek, Robert Babicz, Adam Parker, ThreeSixty and more. I&#8217;m more into the Techno, Tech House genre right now but I still love my Trance. For Trance, hands down, the most influential and creative artists are Myon and Shane 54. Their style is a whole new ball game. Second to them are all the artists that they remix and do mashups of. I can&#8217;t think of a bad MS54 track and they are pushing the envelope.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve written so much but I need to say that I would not have the fiance I have, my child, and friends that are my family still to this day without the electronic music scene. Paul, Dan, Kristie, Jeremy, Seth, Jade, Statch, Lena, Shawn, Mea, Sierra, Mo, Jimmy, Jason, Kevin, Sonic, Happy, Jeff and so many more&#8230; (I&#8217;m sure ill add on to this list.) you have been an integral part of my life as a DJ, Producer, Friend and most importantly the person I have become today. From the music that has inspired my path to reach you and the life I live today, I am inspired by all who have been a part of it.</p>
<p>Made it this far? Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my story know that much more about who I am today.</p>

While all the games are good values for only $0.99, I&#8217;d probably say Need for Speed: Shift is the &#8220;must get&#8221; game from the list. It has frequently been cited as one of the best racing games for the iPhone, so it&#8217;s a good one to have. All of the old school board games are also great to have if you love those family style games. Needless to say I bought about 8 of them!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first discovered that there was going to b such a thing as the <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.apple.com/ipad/?referer=');">iPad,</a> I knew right off the top that the print industry has found new life in what was soon to be an extinct genre of media. Print is not Eco friendly and across the world presses are closing, downsizing and searching for life. Introducing the iPad.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m actually really excited about this. Not only do we get to enjoy the release of a magazine or comic but also you get it instantly. I&#8217;m not one for waiting on things and I believe that in our current economic status this is true across many other mediums.</p>
<p>Here are some things that I am really hoping to see come alive very soon. First off are interactive comics. Stories have multiple endings as well as different versions of the road to get there. Many times you are stuck with the view of one character, waiting to see what&#8217;s in stored for that cliffhanger but with live interactions you can really pick and choose where to go.</p>
<p>Secondly, you can really engage an audience with audio and visual cues. So for comic books add in various sound effects or even have someone read the graphic novel to you. For video you can link right out to the different clips you are referencing, you can set up specific animations to help tell your story. For the news papers you can link right to the live stream or already told news. Your images can really come alive and add subtle little motion to stills just to really wow a user.</p>
<p>These few things already create an experience like no other when you have such interaction. I know a lot of people say that they love the feeling of a book and bent corners, dirt and grime&#8230; well how about an app that reacts to where you close your book it folds pages. Over the course of time your book sees more and more wear on it. It’s a simple solution for the purest.</p>
<p>It’s interesting to see so many new articles now that detail how the magazine market is on the rise because of the iPad. While I&#8217;m sitting here on the plane to LA I peaked over to see some reading on this exact topic. It’s only a taste of what&#8217;s to come and the companies that rely on press can move to digital and we should see fewer publications shutting their doors. The iPad is a revolution for the rebirth of what was to be an extinct medium in today&#8217;s time.</p>
<p>Drop a note or go over to my contact page to send me an email. Thx for reading.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to say that I am really excited to be working at PWE. The people around here are a lot of fun to work with. We all go out and have drinks, go bowling, ice skating dinner and so on. The company is growing and its really an exciting time to be with them. All of our games are free to play. From start to finish the game is totally open for you to enjoy! We have 3 titles currently released, <a href="http://pwi.perfectworld.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/pwi.perfectworld.com?referer=');">Perfect World International</a>, <a href="http://pwi.perfectworld.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/pwi.perfectworld.com?referer=');">Jade Dynasty</a> and <a href="http://pwi.perfectworld.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/pwi.perfectworld.com?referer=');">Ether Saga Online</a>. We also partnered with <a href="http://www.runicgames.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.runicgames.com?referer=');">Runic games</a> and acquired <a href="www.torchlightgame.com/" target="_blank">Torchlight</a> which is available through steam and on the Mac too!!</p>
<p>So the first thing that I was asked to do was to create the companies Intro and Outro graphics. Simple task huh? The intro was to just a simple logo reveal and let people know who’s game this is. The other video producer here, Jason, had a simple vision and so I executed it in C4D. The outro was to be a little bit more elaborate and I had freedom to do what I wanted. So what I wanted to do was reveal a world with a sun, have the logo fly in over it and have our horizon line reveal by having the world somehow transform into it. So here are both of those videos for you to enjoy.</p>

<p>We just released open beta for our latest release, <a href="http://boi.perfectworld.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/boi.perfectworld.com?referer=');">Battle of the Immortals</a> and its speeding up to be quite the amazing game. We’ve had a lot of great response and the user feedback has really been essential to the development of the game. Its pretty awesome to see our developers be so in-tune with what the community wants and they make changes to the game based on those requests. Simple things like the in-game font, WASD movement and also new dungeons that give players a bigger challenge vs the typical instance run. I got a chance to create some developer diaries as well as our official Open Beta gameplay trailer. This game is a lot of fun to play and I think I had more fun playing than actually editing the game&#8230; lol.</p>

<p>The next task I got to do was the <a href="http://fw.perfectworld.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/fw.perfectworld.com?referer=');">Forsaken World </a>logo animation. Since china only has the chinese version and we are making the E3 gameplay trailer for it I got my hands all over do the animation. It was a fun challenge to learn how to make fire wrap around 2D text and I learned a few new tricks on this one!</p>

<p>Lastly, or at least the latest video that I can show publicly until after E3 is our <a href="http://hotk.perfectworld.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/hotk.perfectworld.com?referer=');">Heroes of Three Kingdoms</a> teaser. This is the first gameplay video about the game and I was excited to make it! The animations were a lot of fun to do too. Using concept art and doing a kind of Sherlock Holmes approach to it (the movie titles for the new movie) with ink style dissolves between rulers of the three kingdoms. Check out the video below!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over my short span of I think now 3 years doing motion graphics I’ve learned so much and I just wanted to share with you my journey from the start to today.</p>
<p>First things first&#8230; The first time I was asked to a motion graphic at work I was solo. I mean they laid off the production department and I was left to learn how to edit and do motion. Needless to say I was thrown into the fire pit and had to find a way to survive. </p>
<p>My first piece was for Podshow, or formally Podshow and now being released as Mevio. They asked me to redo the sting for the company that would be anchored on to every video uploaded as well as distributed to all of our 3rd party producers to place on their videos. Pressure much? </p>
<p>This verson was not released. This was my favorite of the bunch that I made. Funny thing is, I dont have the current version uploaded, ill have to get it and upload it to vimeo soon.<br />
UPDATE: I uploaded it and the final approved version is after the unreleased.</p>

<p>Ill try to go in order of creation but that wasnt how I uploaded everything. The next few movies were for the branding of our individual channels. Mevio has 4 main channels or networks, Men Women Tech and Music. I was asked to make an animated graphic for each. Here are those:</p>

<p>I really dont like the womens one. It was poorly done, the director for it never really knew what they wanted.</p>
<p>When our president was finally picked we wanted to do world wide coverage of the inauguration so I was asked to make a bumper for the all of the clips. I really enjoyed making this in a day and I think the outcome was pretty awesome!</p>

<p>This next piece was for promotion purposes. It was basically an ad of what we could do for you. The concept was a box that we passed around to different producers and each one said a piece of the marketing who ha ha. Looking back at it now, I’d do a few things a little differently but I still like it. </p>

<p>CES2010 was pretty big this year and we wanted to cover the coverage and we called it: CESPool. This was a lot of fun to make. I wanted to go for a techy animation to hit on the technology covered in the event. This was just a bumper graphic to brand the segments since it wasnt really a show.</p>

<p>This next video was done using only after effects. I wanted to get more comfortable with Particular 2 so I decided to just jump in and try something different. I used CC Sphere as well as some Tracode Shine and Trapcodes Soundkeys to map the particle movement to different frequencies. </p>

<p>After being laid off, I found a contract gig with a company called Sky Creative. They wanted an animation the was synced to another animation. I had to work with another motion designer doing the video that showed off the products for Safilo and I did the LED panel animation that accompanied that. The video was played for 3 or 4 days in New York as well as Las Vegas and a big fashion show convention where Safilo has a 10k sq ft. Booth with a runway. Pretty exciting to tell you the truth. Here’s the animation that I had to do for it.</p>

<p>2 more left!! Thx for staying with me if you have read through this far. This next one gained so much traction and was played by thousands. Really the first animation of mine that got so much play time and it was just a fun little test using a voxel preset and some mograph dynaimics inside my 3D app, Cinema 4D.</p>

<p>This last piece was a quick 2 day, actually 2 late night into early morning creation done for a pitch. They wanted to spoof off of the ESPN Sports Center look for the US Food Service. The first part of the animation I made the scene but another animator did the animation and I did the second part of this which was the logo reveal. </p>

<p>I have to thank you for taking the time to take a look at my progression over the years. There were many more little pieces that I made but they were all for live action videos and I just dont have the time to dig them all up. Keep up with the videos that I create on my vimeo page.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to say that playing at <a href="http://www.rubyskye.com" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.rubyskye.com?referer=');">Ruby Skye</a> was unforgettable and truly a dream come true. I got to open for <a href="http://www.boomjinx.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.boomjinx.com/?referer=');">Boom Jinx</a> (who was also rockin btw) as well as <a href="http://myonandshane54.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/myonandshane54.com/?referer=');">Myon and Shane54</a> and for that hour that I was behind those CDJ-1000’s I was in dream land. I knew from the last time that Boom played in the Bay Area he liked to have the DJ before play slower and out of respect I wanted to end my mix at around 128 bpm and at a lower tone but if I knew he was going to play rockin Electro Trance&#8230; I think that my outlook on my mix would have been 100% different!</p>
<p>Ill be honest in saying that this isnt my favorite mix that I have compiled but I’ve been asked to share it. I did the mix inside Ableton Live and I’m finding that I want to switch over to Traktor and the Audio Kontrol X1 from Native Instruments to do my mixing in.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>RED is a San Francisco based production company throwing some amazing 18+ parties at Kelly’s Mission Rock. This event especially will be awesome because I am playing at it! I’m really happy and totally excited to be play at this show and you can find me rockin the dance floor from 10:30pm &#8211; 11:30pm. Headlining the show will be Bryan Kearney along with Spundae’s own FEI-FEI.</p>
<p>You can <a href="http://www.wantickets.com/EventDetail.aspx?e_id=112365" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.wantickets.com/EventDetail.aspx?e_id=112365&amp;referer=');">purchase tickets</a> now!!</p>
<p>Direct from Bryan’s site, here’s a few snippets from his Bio:</p>
<p>“Bryan Kearney began DJing in the year 2000 and in this time has established himself firmly on the international dance scene. His sets contain the very best in upfront trance and techno with the emphasis always on energy and the unexpected.</p>
<p>He was a permanent fixture on the airwaves of Dublin throughout 2002 and 2003 with prime time shows on Energy Fm and Kiss Fm providing the capital with the very best in brand new material each week.</p>
<p>In 2005, he completed a remix of one of his all time favourite tracks, the massive Lost Emotions by Fire &amp; Ice. The track has become bigger than first thought possible with the remix been signed for full release by the legendary Bonzai Records.</p>
<p>2007 was a big year too with solo tracks and remixes well received right across the trance spectrum. His debut solo E.P containing More To Life and Punchline had massive success with More To Life becoming the biggest selling download ever on Discover Records.</p>
<p>2008 continued on from where it left off with Bryan receiving two nominations at the Irish Dance Music Awards &#8211; Best DJ &amp; Best New Artist.</p>
<p>2009 has seen him taking his performances and productions to the next level. He was voted runner up in the Best Producer category at the Irish Dance Music Awards, second only to John O&#8217;Callaghan</p>
<p>2010 is shaping up to be a massive year for Bryan with a significant increase in solo material, vocal tracks and collaborations right across the musical spectrum. This year will also see him launch his very own label entitled KEARNAGE (Carnage) Recordings.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been learning how to use Cinema 4D for a little while now and I have also tried to immerse myself into the world of motion graphics to learn as much as possible. I’ve had a chance to come across some amazing people as well as tutorials and project files from some of the most influential people and Mike Senften is one of them. He comes from the world of being a DJ and he understands how to translate audio syncing into animation and how to make sure everything is timed out correctly. His presentation at NAB was devoted for this and I wanted to share it with you. If you enjoy Cinema 4D and want to learn a little bit more audio integration, check this out!!</p>
