"Human Eye VS Camera" volume II

I wouldn't call this a remake, because no aspects of the "Human Eye VS Camera" video I made a year ago are repeated in this week's video. I compared a few more details including dynamic range and autofocus, and dedicated the second half of the video to the difference I consider most important. This is made in more of a video essay format, I hope you like it ;) Watch the video

15 New Product Designs!

This week I made 15 new designs for phone/tablet cases, prints, and many other products. These came about when the region I live in got its annual mediocre snowfall. I threw on some boots and not-enough jackets and went for a little hike. I got a bunch of photos, and turned about half of them into final designs. I hope you enjoy these and maybe even choose to purchase something. Since I have a designer markup, I personally appreciate any purchases ;)   See/buy the designs here.

Today I Talk About this Mouse

This week's video is about the awesome $10 Zelotes Gaming Mouse. It lights up and changes color-- pretty lit.

Why movies have black bars - video essay

Last week I found myself wondering why movies have black bars. Why were they put there in the first place, and why do we still use them? I did some research and found some really interesting answers, so here's my final conclusion in the form of a little video essay!

Here's a video in which I take a bunch of comments viewers have left on my channel and reply to them.

How to edit an object out of an image

Wow... I haven't posted on here in a while...

This is a video in which I show how to make an object  in a shot appear as if it was never there to start with. You can use this if you left a piece of film equipment in the background, or if a pedestrian strolls through your post-apocalyptic setting.

At the end of the video, I show how to create an advanced version of this effect using Mocha.
But I did it wrong :O
So here's a video showing how to do it the right way:

Quabbler/Digital Blast goes to England!

Yo! A few weeks ago I flew to England! [Of course] I took a camera with me and filmed a few videos! A bit of editing later, I bring you the blog megapost featuring everything!
[Most importantly] I filmed a cinematic video while in London, as well as two vlogs (and one extra vlog in New York City on my way back:)

The videos previously featured on this post have been removed because they make the site take ages to load. They are still on my YouTube channel, and there are hyperlinks in the text ^

This week: A short film, 1 funny moments video, 1 highlight video (with a special guest!), a vlog, and an Easter special in which I build some rabbits!

Today we look at a few text styles that are easy to create and also look awesome! Enjoy the video!

Today in the world of block game we use the wrong class! Despite my ill preparations, it worked out in the end.

It has been many moons since I uploaded a video like this! Enjoy the short!

Triple Speedart

This video has 3 speedarts in it! Two are thumbnails for gaming videos, and the last one is from a vlog (all of which will be linked when uploaded to my second channel)

Aperture and I.S.O.

Watch this week's video by clicking the link at the bottom of this post.

The Basics:
Aperture is the diameter of the hole in the lens that light enters through, and it determines the brightness of the image. The larger your aperture is, the shallower your depth of field will be. Aperture is expressed as f/a number, and a larger aperture is expressed as a smaller number.
I.S.O. is how much light is needed for your camera to produce an image with the proper exposure. The larger your aperture is, the lower you can set the I.S.O., which will result in less grain. Grain usually becomes noticeable when using an I.S.O. of 1600 or above.

Tips and Techniques for Filming a Vlog

This week we look at a few tips and techniques for setting up a vlog-style shot. Scroll to the bottom of this post to watch the video.
1. Lighting should generally not be intended to appear dramatic. Consistency is the top priority. Tips: if you are using a bright light, don't get it too close to yourself to avoid being overexposed, and if the light is too harsh, try using diffusion like an umbrella on a light.
2. Leading lines are a great way to compose your frame. Find an angle with multiple lines that intersect at the point of interest (probably your face.)
3. Pick your lens wisely. A wider lens will make it easier for you to stay in frame and in focus. Turning up the aperture value of your lens will achieve a similar effect in terms of focus, but will also introduce grain into the image.
4. Depth is one of the most overlooked qualities of a shot, and it is also one of the most important qualities. For good depth, try putting more distance between yourself and the background.
5. The background itself is also very important. Do some creative production design! The YouTube Creator Academy has a great tutorial about this.
