"I am the Govenator of Kali-forrrrnia." So, apparently before you leave or when you arrive at L.A.X. you can pick up your "Govenator" t-shirt. Scary isn't it? (The Govenator is brought to you by Audrey mind you, props where props are due.) Oh, finished one final which is awesome. In the process of finishing it or coming to conclusion it was finished I dumped out about a week and half to w weeks worth of work or so of animation stuffs I was originally going to use. Depending on how lazy I am or when I get around to it after I get these other projects done I will be posting it up (which involves learning how to sign a java applet). So, back to verk!

RGB2CMYK-TIME-Trump
So, this is what I've been working on for my final project for Pixel by Pixel. So, what is it I am actually doing? I am currently taking a still image and compositing part of it and placing live video behind it that is being processed to be converted to CMYK from the RGB color space. Why do this? I'm interested in the whole content associations that are established with color spaces (probably because I have dealt and worked two long with both worlds and have utterly lost my mind dealing with color spaces, proofing, and the like). Print (C.M.Y.K.- Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, & Black), has a certain of weight and value to it inherently due to the costs associated with mass production print as opposed to the RGB color space. RGB (Red, Green, & Blue) is seen basically in anything that is video, tv, your computer, your camcorder, digital camera, etc. Even though on the high end with broadcast video there are large budgets and big dollars being thrown around on one side of the spectrum there is also the other end which is the person who has that crappy Hi-8 camcorder, little point and shoot digital camera, or even just a computer. All of these use the RGB color space and so there is a wide gamut of who has access to these technologies. The biggest issue thus far with this project was trying to figure out a work around for the issue of two video buffers of different sizes eventually being put into the same destination buffer, aka GWorld, (no relation with Ghandi the rap star formerly known as G Spot"). On that note, go watch Clone High (why did you cancel it MTV!) and I am back to work on trying to make this program work faster than a putrid 9fps.

Cobra Commander in Plaid!
COBRA COMMANDER in plaid. Yes, it's gotten cold enuff for me to bust out the scarf and my grand spanking new jacket with "radial arm motion." Supposed to snow in like 2 hours or least that's what weather.com says. We shall see what we shall see. COBRA COMMANDER demands snowmen to be constructed to create a protective barrier against gung ho and mister LaFitty! But yeah back to programming now =|

The Godfather & The Return of Ska
Well just this week I picked up two new ska albums at a local Tower Records going out of biz massive sale. Those two were Ska-Boo-Da-Ba by the Skatalites and The Last of the Skinheads by Judge Dread. Awesome albums both of them. I've been listening to them all week. Especially one song from the Skatalites by the name of Confucius. Awesome bass in it. So, tonite I was working on my pixel by pixel homework which I was having some difficulties with but made progress and solved a huge prob. I'll post some example pics from it later. Anyhow I meant to go to sleep instead I ended up on You Tube and I ended up looking up the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. That's right Japanese ska for all of you who haven't heard the news. They've been around for awhile. Got to see them last summer at the House of Blues while they were on their first tour in the states. Amazing. The trombone player, the trumpet player and the drummer unbelievable. So, I was wondering You Tube and ran into the fact that they've played with Puffy Ami Yumi but also that they had covered the Godfather theme. Amazing especially when they slow it down and then go into double time right after. Blood great. T.S.P.O.!
