Stop Motion Ice Skating Christmas

Stop Motion Ice Skating? YES! We have done it again!

It’s Christmas time, and we have just released our newest live action stop motion video! We used the film making technique called “stop motion animation”, which was used back in the early days of cinema to animate objects, but we put our own twist on it by doing it with people!

Anyways, without further adieu, check it out below!

We had A LOT of fun with this shoot! Here’s how the whole thing went down..

We got the idea for this Stop Motion Ice Skating video, after we did one of our Instagram “tester” videos with Kyle (camera). You can see our ice skating tester video here.

Once the idea for Stop Motion Ice Skating was born, we spent several weeks just letting it simmer on the back burner of my minds. Then I dove into youtube search and did some research on real figure skating moves. Then I made a loose “stop motion shot list” of moves I wanted to film, as well as a simple “script” for the talking parts. Then came the several weeks of waiting for snow in California!

As Christmas approached, Mary and I had a day of “location scouting”, where we drove an hour north to Frasier Park, CA, and checked out the potential filming spots. On our location scout we didn’t find much snow, so we waited for a “snowy” text from a friend of ours until we set the shoot date.

When we got the text, it was time to GO! We drove up to Frasier Park on a cold morning, and filmed the whole stop motion ice skating video in 5 hours.

I’ve been getting faster at editing the stop motion videos, so the edit only took one day this time! Luckily, I was able to find some ice skating sound effects by looking around youtube long enough.

On inspection of the results, comparing the 2 groups: One group with a high sat-fat / high cholesterol diet on line cialis new.castillodeprincesas.com and The other group with a low sat-fat and low cholesterol diet reduced the risk of heart disease.
We blew our own expectations out of the water yet again, and the shoot could not have been possible without our awesome team of friends! Allen Niles did an amazing job with acting, helping to write the dialogue, (and helping me to stay balanced on that rail slide!) Kyle Chebbi did a fantastic job with camera, and co-directing!

Here is our behind the scenes video!

More specifics: After shooting all of the pictures on our DSLR, I import them into Premiere Pro as an “image sequence”, then slow the speed of the resulting video down to whatever I work out the math to be. (In this case, it was 50 percent). After that, I can go in and resize the images until I get the framing I like… then it’s time to add in the sound effects! This is usually the part which takes the longest, as I have to look through the internet to find suitable sounds, then time them to the video. Overlaying music helps out A LOT!

Good Vibes were had all around, and we hope you enjoyed watching this video as much as we enjoyed making it!!

PS: “Where have we been?!”
After being a little “quiet” on the channel, I’m happy to announce that we are going to be producing regular content again! I’ve been busy working with new people, seeing who has good intentions and vibes, and organizing a team to help take the youtube channel to the next level.

The channel “Rustic B” may or may not go through another name change at some point in the future, to make sure that everyone feels welcome as part of a team, and to represent our mission statement better. Our mission statement is: “To spread the power of Optimism and Mindful Positivity, through making content with Good Vibes”

Do you have any ideas for a new brand name?

How to do a Front Handspring

Here is a write-up on my Front Handspring Tutorial!

This is one of the first gymnastics moves that I learned..because it’s one of the simplest! So let’s get into the details of how to do a Front Handspring..

The Front Handspring is a pretty common move that you see used in parkour videos, dance routines, and as some people’s go to “party stunt”, because it’s relatively safe. It also feels very satisfying every time you do it, once you commit it to muscle memory!

The Front Handspring is one of the first moves that I learned back when I first started out doing stunts, parkour, and gymnastics (the other first move was The Handstand). So this is a good beginner move to get into your movement repertoire early on!

Some key points to remember when learning how to do a front handspring, are..

– Lunge into the takeoff, like you would for a cartwheel or a roundoff.

– Use your shoulders and keep your arms straight to start the spring motion.

– Spring through the air and open your hips/arch your back in the air.

– Land it just like the Kip Up! Chest and eyes forward.

– Spread your feet wide, and land on the balls of your feet! If your handspring is weak, you can still catch yourself on your feet with the proper landing. Something that really helps me think about getting my landings correctly, is to try to do the movement as quietly as possible.

If you face any of these effects, consult a qualified doctor before taking viagra no prescription Get More Information for this medical condition as well as to know the possible risks of developing hypertension, cardiovascular problem, diabetes, kidney problem, vascular problem, hardening of blood etc.
And lastly, with this move, just like the Kip Up..

– YOU HAVE TO WANT IT to land it! Just like any gymnastics or stunt movement that requires some skill, it won’t happen by itself! At one point you may hit a wall where you know you need to just do it..so do it!

When I first learned the front handspring, I had been practicing the handstand and kip up for a couple weeks. At one point I found a slightly slanted grassy hill, and just went for the move.

Thanks for watching, BE SAFE, HAVE FUN, see you next time!

Stop Motion Kart – Mario Kart 64 in real life!

Stop Motion Kart? Yes! Imagine if you could bring your favorite childhood games to life.. well, that’s what my friends and I just did with Mario Kart from the Nintendo 64! We used the film making technique called “stop motion animation”, which was used back in the early days of cinema to animate objects, and was even used in the original Godzilla movie!

UPDATE: Check out our sequel!

This was a super fun racing video to work on, and we’re very happy with the results! With Fast & Furious 7 just released, we’re happy to present our own version of a live action video game race project.. Stop-Motion Kart 64!!

Seeing as every frame of this video is it’s own picture, the filming for this video took us 5 hours in total. We also had a day of “location scouting” and a day of “pre-production”, where I went shopping for props (red/green hats and finish line), and wrote out the script and shot list. This video honestly wouldn’t have been possible without my friends Ari Loeb (stuntman, green racer) and Kyle Chebbi (cameraman), and has shown to me again, the importance of having a good team!

Between myself and Ari continuously scooting on our butts, and Kyle clicking away at the camera shutter, we stayed dedicated and pulled through! We all went home with a sunburn that day, but it was definitely worth it!

This video also took a day of “editing” where I had to re-frame some of the pictures and arrange them into a timeline to make them into a video. Then the editing day was followed by 2 days of sound design..let me tell you, it’s not very easy to create racing gaming sound environments from scratch!
It is very common and can be treated very easily with Musli Strong capsules and Shilajit ES capsules. viagra 25 mg

We originally came up with the “stop motion go kart” concept a couple of months ago, with my friends Vaughndio and Andrew (you can see them both in 13 Pumps). We only took 10 minutes to film the original , but after uploading it we decided to do the concept justice! Below is our original Stop-Motion Go-Karts concept video filmed by my wonderful girlfriend, Mary. You can probably see the things we kept for the full version, as well as the places we found room for improvement on..

Thank you so much for checking out our new videos! If you like what you see, please make sure to subscribe to my channel to keep up to date with what’s going on.. so far, we’ve been keeping up with a “new video every week” type of schedule!

Have a wonderful day, hope you enjoyed this vid!

How to do a Kip Up (Tutorial)

Here is a write-up on my Martial Arts Kip Up Tutorial!

Do you want to learn how to jump to your feet like a ninja? Well, I’m here to tell you how! The traditional name for this move is the “Kip Up”, or “Kick Up”. The Kip Up is a very common move that you see people using in their fight scenes, breakdancing routines, and tricking combos, all over the internet. It’s also just a very useful move to know how to do in every day life, once you can perform it smoothly.

The Kip Up is one of the first moves that I learned back when I first started out doing gymnastics (the other first move was The Handstand). So this is a good beginner move to get into your stunt repertoire early on!

Some key points to remember when learning how to do a kip up, are..

– Pop off the ground FAST with your hands! Put some muscle into it to make this move effective! You have to want to land it.

– Uncoil / Open your hips up to the sky in the middle of the movement! This, combined with a good push, will launch your body up like a spring.

– Spread your feet wide, and land on the balls of your feet! If your kip-up is weak, you can still catch yourself on your feet with the proper landing. Something that really helps me think about getting my landings correctly, is to try to do the movement as quietly as possible.

And lastly, with this move..

– YOU HAVE TO WANT IT to land it! Just like any gymnastics movement that requires some skill, it won’t happen by itself! At one point you may hit a wall where you know you need to just do it..so do it!
Wonder drugs like viagra 25 mg donssite.com, viagra, and viagra 25 mg have done an amazing job for people suffering from erectile dysfunction.

When I first learned the kip up, I taught myself by putting my mattress on the floor in my room. Once I could land it on that, I took my training outside on a slight hill. Then I went to flat grass.. so you can always find the “equipment” you need for you to learn anything! Just be creative. 🙂

Thanks for watching, BE SAFE, HAVE FUN, see you next time!

13 Pumps – A Coffee Fight Scene

Here’s an action comedy short film (fight scene) that I made recently, about a guy who takes his coffee addiction too seriously! We came up with the name, 13 Pumps, during the filming process. Some people love their coffee creations just right, and get really upset if they don’t get them the way they wanted.. I used to see people like this all of the time when I worked at Starbucks in the past, and have always wondered what would happen if a real fight broke out.

So without further delay, please check out 13 Pumps below!

We came up with, and improvised the story with my stunt friends Vaughndio Forbes and Andrew Dismuke. My wonderful girlfriend Mary ran action camera for her first time, and I think she kicked some butt!

We filmed this fight the day after I watched the Keanu Reeves movie, John Wick, for the first time. I was really impressed by the fight choreography put together by the 87 Eleven Action Team, especially how they incorporated several good Judo throws into their fight scenes. My main martial art background is in Judo..so on the day of filming 13 pumps, I decided I wanted to try and incorporate some throws into my choreography, as well!! Vaughndio (the guy I’m fighting) did really well in learning and performing the throw on the spot.

This was also the first time that I’ve incorporated a “scorpion kick” into a fight scene. Made into reality after a good suggestion by Andrew (the guy in the white shirt), I was pleasantly surprised in how the movement turned out on camera! And Vaughndio’s impact-ful front fall that followed, made for a nice sequence in my eyes.

Another interesting movement that I was grateful worked out on camera, was the last breakfall in the fight. The reaction my character takes from Andrew’s spinning hook kick is called a “sayuchi” in Hong Kong stunt terms. I had only ever done it in a gymnastics gym before, and though it was a little nerve wracking the first time, I was pleasantly surprised with the end result.

STUNT TIP: The secret to doing the Sayuchi stunt fall, (in my personal way of thinking), is to perform it as a “header” stunt fall where you break your momentum by touching your toe to the ground first and slowing yourself down. Then from there, you add a little rotation to the beginning part of the movement, and land it like a traditional judo side breakfall.

Thank you again for checking out 13 Pumps – A Coffee Fight Scene! I hope you enjoyed it.. Recently, I have started making a conscious effort into expanding my youtube channel, so if you get a chance please check it out! And if you like what you see, subscribe!
