Windows Movie Maker vs Adobe CS6

Ashley Kahurangi Leave a comment

Ive finally kicked the old bucket one last time, Windows Live Movie Maker can rest in peace. Let the glorious days of Adobe After Effects CS6 begin!

This is a teaser trailer for my first feature length documentary i have started working on. Usually this would take about 4 hours for me to make with the old system, but a crash course and Google by my side to learn Adobe After Effects CS6 I made this in 90 minutes!! and I must say, I am impressed and excited at all the customising opportunities.

Hope you all enjoy my latest video

Beijing Book Fair

I went earlier today to the Temple of Earth that’s located just outside the 2nd ring road in Beijing. The weather was a cool and crisp autumn with clear blue sky with a dash of cirrus clouds. For lunch I had kebabs sitting under one of the many pine trees that are over 400 years old that are throughout the park. I spent several hours trolling through the hundreds of bookstores, there were even some who sold books by the kilo. But i was hunting for a certain niche of book. Books on ancient architecture primarily on old Beijing. With no one to translate for me and after 5 hours of hunting. I struck paydirt.

Book Cover

I didnt buy the book for the text since I cant read chinese yet, hopefully soon but not yet. I did buy it though for its maps and diagrams and break-downs of what the different elements of tradtional chinese architecture is and widely used during 1845 for the build project.

A Look Into The Book

This book will most definitely help with improving the accuracy of Project 1845 to make it a truly unique experience to build and fellow fans to discover.

My new favorite saying from C418

Well C418 did visit MineCraftWorlds and I was asked by our veteran admin to give him a tour of my work. Which he loved so much to tell others.

 

He visited the Hanging Gardens, Spawn Complex, our Fractal Cube (81×81), the  16-Sided Pyramid, Memorial Citadel, My House with its own private biomes (including an actual jungle), the Grand Canyon, our national soccer stadium where you can play a round of soccer by hitting a ball around the pitch (wool block) and out Urban Shooter style pvp arena.
