Videoclip Ambacht
Last weekend we shot footage for the videoclip of Ambacht, the band I mentioned in one of my earlier posts. For the shoot we hired a Sony EX-1 HD camera and shot the clip on 720p and overcranked allot of the footage to get a nice dramatic effect. Fun thing here was that the performers had to sing at a higher speed, 200% was a bit too much so we pitched the song to 150% and speeded up the lipsync footage to 66% to get it sync.
Some weeks earlier we also made a DIY dolly with rails to get some nice pans. Thought it is not completely a perfect smooth motion we did get a perfect image after applying Final Cut Pro’s smoothcam filter.
See here an example:
Though we had allot of rain during the shoot we still managed to get all the footage and I also got burned by the moments of sun between the showers.
The clip is currently in edit, I’ll post the result here when its done.

Together with MediaRijk I developed a racegame for Athlon Car Lease. The goal of the game is to finish the track as fast as possible and try to maintain your tires air pressure. Make sure you give it a try, and who knows, maybe you will win a trip!

Toybot office
So it finally happened, I’m going to do Toybot full time. I quitted my job, and start working 5 days a week freelance. I’m sharing my office with Jaap Oostinjen, a friend of me who is specialised in front-end web development.
My main focus for the moment will be webgame development, and researching some interesting technology surrounding webgames. Like multiplayer games, aternative game input (wiiMote, webcam motion detection, dance mat).
I’m really looking forward to start developing, keep in touch to follow future development.
