My 10 year YouTube Anniversary!

HEY GUYS!

January 22nd was my 10 YEAR youtube anniversary! That is amazing…

Granted, I haven’t been working on the same channel the whole time, I skipped around quite a bit before I decided to focus on “Rustic B” 2 years ago.. but this means I’ve been making videos for 10 years! Wow…

Rustic B celebrates his 10 year youtube anniversary

What follows is a summary of my Youtube Journey.. 🙂

It all started with “kellock71” (my current channel). One of my first videos, before I had a video camera, was a stop motion project called Origami Rave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkoS2V-aNag

After playing around for a while, I started teaching myself Parkour (in order to make what I thought were “cooler” youtube videos), and I made friends! I got some people together from an online Martial Arts Tricking forum and we started a “tricking team” (which didn’t get too far..) but we had a showreel! https://www.youtube.com/user/TeamKouro

Then I moved to Scotland for college, and started a Parkour team over there, where I taught classes twice a week for 3 years. We had Parkour meetups from all over the country, and were featured in some newspapers..I made a TON of friends and learned a lot about filmmaking. Here’s a channel I ran to document everyone’s progress, and our Parkour Jams: http://youtube.com/dundeepk

As I progressed in my filmmaking, I started wanting to play around with Action and Comedy skits.. so my friends Andrew Keiller, Sam Lewis and I created Kouro Media! (note the name similarity from “Team Kouro” above.. Kouro means “the way” in japanese). This channel got subscribed by Ubisoft when we made a parody webseries about “assassins creed”, and it was a pleasant creatively experimental space for all of us: http://youtube.com/kouromedia

Kouro Media got me to start doing action and fight scenes, and I soon stumbled onto Eric Jacobus’ stunt people forums.. where I got inspired to move to Los Angeles to pursue stunts as a career. I made the move in May 2011, and quickly met a group of guys who were in a small stunt team. We started hanging out and training, and I quickly created a YouTube channel for us, where I was putting showreels, training days, and fight scenes. Urban Fist TV: http://youtube.com/urbanfisttv

Over the next couple of years, my focus shifted away from youtube and onto my stunt career. I learned a lot, and collected footage from training and working. During this time I was putting up showreels on what is now “Rustic B”, and I also made a second channel with my full name, to show my parkour/martial arts progress.. that’s right here: https://www.youtube.com/user/darustic

I then worked for a while as an editor for my friend Brady Romberg, and I started the channel “Action Academy” for him. I filmed/edited a couple featurettes with Johnny Nitro (of WWE fame), which helped raise money for a feature film we produced 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JQyMGGRNAc

At the end of 2014 I worked for my friend Shawn Crowder on SMOSH: The Movie, and got inspired to get back into youtube. Youtube has been my passion, and i realized it was the driving force behind what I was doing for the 7 years prior.. so I went back to my smallest channel, kellock71, and I renamed it with my abbreviated name “Rustic B”. I am still contemplating changing the name to something more easily remembered (open to ideas).. but I am very happy to say that this channel is here to stay 🙂

In 2017 I am aiming to create one video per week, and I want to grow both as a skilled creator, and as an influencer. I am SO grateful for all of the wonderful people I got to collaborate with last year, and to everyone who has been helping me on my journey.

THANK YOU for watching and sharing my content. Thank you for your motivation and helping me learn. THANK YOU and LET’S CONTINUE TO GROW!

Here’s to another 10 years!

Stop Motion Mortal Kombat – Fight Scene

Stop Motion Mortal Kombat

Check out our first stop motion Fight Scene!

My stunt friends and I love to make stop motion videos with stunts in them, often about gaming.. We give you.. Stop Motion Mortal Kombat!

Below is a quick rundown of the shoot, but watch out for the actual Behind the Scenes video of our stop motion fight scene in the next couple of days! It will be on the youtube channel!

OK, let’s get to it! This stop motion fight scene was VERY fun to make! We filmed it in Santa Clarita, and the whole shoot took us about 4-5 hours. Kyle Chebbi (Stop Motion camera and co-director) and I had been planning this shoot for a couple of weeks, and as soon as our schedules lined up, we decided to go for it! I posted a note on my facebook wall the day before, asking if someone wanted to be a part of a stop motion video.. and my stunt friend Joe Sobalo replied!

We set the stop motion fight up for the next morning, Joe and Kyle got to my house around 9am, and we drove out to the location in Santa Clarita. We stopped to get some waters (very important when you’re filming on any location!), and hiked 10 minutes off the main road, out to our cool location. It was at this point that Kyle and I realized we had filmed an instagram “tester” fight video there exactly a year before!

THE SHOOT

About half of our filming time went towards coming up with the “live action” parts of our video, while the other half went towards filming the Stop Motion Mortal Kombat fight scene. Kyle and Joe were really fun to work with, and we came up with the comedic beats on the spot! I love it when like-minded, positive people come together on a set! It makes for such a rewarding experience.

In the United States or in the United Kingdom, the cases of these injuries are reported from young male personalities and the results come in form of erectile dysfunction or impotency. generic cialis online buying this
The stop motion fight part was a bit tricky, trickier than I anticipated. The parts that we had to pay close attention to on this one were; the fact that there were now two people to keep track of during the picture taking, and the fact that it was my friend’s first stop motion shoot (Joe did an AMAZING job, btw! picked it up quick)

POST PRODUCTION

When I got into the edit, I realized that because we filmed under some high powered electrical lines, we had some strong interference noise on the video. After trying several times to remove the noise in Premiere Pro CC, (watching tutorials, etc), Kyle and I decided to just do some “ADR”! ADR stands for Automatic Dialogue Replacement. This meant we had to re-record some of the lines onto our camera, then lay it over the original audio track (deleting the original). This made for an interesting looking clip of me slapping myself uncontrollably as Kyle walks by! You can see that clip on my instagram, or when we post the Stop Motion behind-the-scenes video in the next couple of days 😉

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this video! We’ve been getting very good responses from people so far, and think that we will make more stop motion fight videos soon! If you feel like it, please share Stop Motion Mortal Kombat with your friends! And leave us a comment on the video with any ideas, suggestions, or feedback!

STAY AWESOME!

Santa Clarita Stuntman turned Youtube Creator

Rustic B talks YouTube

Youtube has exploded in the last few years. Top “youtubers” (people who make youtube videos) are now appearing on the Forbes earning lists, so we decided to ask a friend of ours who is based in the area, some questions about his filmmaking and stunt projects!

Rustic Bodomov, stuntman, doing a handstand on his youtube channel.

The Interview

SCN: Thanks for talking with us, Rustic.

Rustic: Thank you for having me!

SCN: So, what is your background? What got you into filmmaking, and how did you start on YouTube?

Rustic: Straight away with the tough questions, eh? (laughs) I got into youtube when I was 14 years old. I stumbled on the video site while browsing myspace, when someone shared a Parkour Video. After browsing feverishly that evening, I decided to make my first video! I didn’t have a video camera yet, so I decided to make a “stop motion animation” video with a picture camera I had!

SCN: How did you get into stunts?

Rustic: I was studying Architecture in Scotland, and spending way too much time training parkour and making youtube videos with friends. One day an important question came up for me, and that was “if you had all of the money in the world, what would you see yourself doing?”. I had to think about that question for a while, and was fortunate to realize early on that I wasn’t doing exactly what I wanted to be doing at that moment. Once I had that realization and started looking for other options, I realized I would be making videos with friends. This led me to the realization that I want to move to LA and be in the film industry. So that is what I did!

SCN: Wow, that’s quite a change.. how has it been for you?

Rustic: The experience has been wonderful so far! I have been in LA for almost 5 years, (Santa Clarita for 4 years), I have found the love of my life, and I spend the days doing what I enjoy! My job is literally to train stunts (parkour, martial arts, fitness, climbing, swimming, etc), make youtube videos, and work towards a career as a film producer.

SCN: That is awesome! Is there anything you would like to tell our readers before you go?

Rustic: I would love to just say.. follow your internal compass. The one under the worries, fears, doubts..those are all useless! Focus on doing what you truly want (with brutal honesty and optimism), strive to always be mindful, and just remember to breathe! Life is simple, enjoy the good vibes 😀

SCN: Wonderful..thank you very much for your time!

Rustic: Thank you!

Making youtube videos has been my passion for 9 years now, and has kept me motivated to learn new things. Through youtube, I learned how to do parkour, and made life long friends. With the help of youtube, I learned about Scotland, and how it was possible to travel there. And through youtube, I made friends in LA before I moved here. I am so excited to continue to grow with all of you, and I hope you have a wonderful and prosperous 2016!

Just remember, you can achieve anything! It all just starts with a choice. What is important to you? And what feelings do you have inside, which drive you?

Here is the talk I mentioned by Alan Watts – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khOaAHK7efc

Hope you enjoyed the video! To be honest, I was kind of tired of my voice after editing this.. but I feel like I was able to include a lot of my backstory and personal motivations behind things. If you would like to know anything else, or any details, just ask!

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?

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.
You feel so embarrassed that you cannot get it up again despite ample sexual desire in https://www.unica-web.com/archive/980721ci.htm purchase cheap cialis you.

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! Otherwise, I would love to hear your feedback in the comments, so I can keep learning and improving as a filmmaker.

Have a beautiful day,

Rustic B

How to do a Handstand (Tutorial)

Here is a write-up on the Handstand Tutorial I released last week..

Hey guys!! So I made another tutorial, this time it’s a breakdown of how to do a handstand! This is one of the most universal ‘moves’ that you will see in Parkour, Yoga, Gymnastics, and many more disciplines.

The handstand was also one of the very first moves that I taught myself back when I started parkour, and if you’re looking for a good, simple way to start and get your motivation soaring, give the handstand a go!

The main key points to remember when learning how to do a handstand, are..

– Give yourself a good warmup, especially focusing on your wrists! Your joints will take a while to get used to holding your body weight, and warming them up properly will help the process along without any injuries!

– Learn how to bail! (Fall safely) I explain the methods about halfway through the video, but you could start learning these before you even begin doing the leg progressions! Learning how to fall out of a handstand properly will give you the confidence and safety you need to learn this move fast!

– When in your handstand, make sure you push the ground away, really opening up your shoulders and extending your body as long as it can go.

– Keep your abs muscles engaged, and your body tight. Practice holding still as long as possible.

– Some people lock their elbows, but I’d recommend keeping the slightest bend in your arms to avoid locking and “hyper-extending” your elbows.. (it’s not fun). Also, a very slight bend in your arms will help you to adjust your balance.
Before moving to the advantages let us go through the working of cheap levitra http://appalachianmagazine.com/2017/01/17/the-coldest-day-in-american-history-1/ this medicine.

– Control the ground with your wrists, fingers, and the angle of your shoulders to your body. Play around until you see what works for your body type and sense of balance. (ex.. I find that if I’m falling short, I can bend my arms and move my shoulders in front of my wrists to regain balance..)

– Practice the handstand balance and strength drills that I suggested in the tutorial video! They will really help you work up to a handstand.. or if you already have your hand stands, these drills will help you clean them up!

I hope you found this article and video helpful, and if you want to see more feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel! ..and if you have any feedback or questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
