Joined a group of friends and took a great ride up the Keys

A friend on livevideo asked if No Name Pub really exists in the Florida Keys. Here it is in all its splendor. Check out the ceiling!!!

The last of my low cam footage :(

About 50 bikes leave Key West on Sunday and ride up the keys to hold their own Memorial Service. This video is just the ride. Second video shows the service.

Alicia Keys - No One

Key West local artist Seward Johnson and Custom House Director Claudia Pennington talk about the new exhibit ICONS at the museum

While riding my Triumph in the Florida Keys I see a large lizard and then a Key Deer.

This second video shows the cemetery memorial service. About 50 bikes road up to the cemetery in the Florida Keys from Key West.

Taking a ride on a beautiful day over the Seven-Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys.

This is a video of myself with Thomas & Calley visiting the famous Key West Cemetary located in Key West, FL. We were there this past Summer (2007) on vacation. Be afraid, be very afraid.

This is me singing "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys. The camera ran out of batteries at the end. So sorry. Go ahead and tell me what you think!

This is the first video riding my Triumph motorcycle. I still have some quirks to work out with getting the camcorder in the correct place in my helmet, but here is the begining of the ride.

Hurray for Pocoyo ! The gang go on a treasure hunt. Narrated by Stephen Fry.

RAAB HIMSELF

I had bought myself some green paint at HomeDepot for the purpose of making chroma key backgrounds. Doing chroma keying in animation is easy, but I wanted to see how much work it would be for live-action chroma keying. I painted a large canvas green and propped it up on the kitchen counter behind me. I also shot this foortage with mt $100.00 digital webcamcorder, rather than my Sony Digital-8 camcorder, which is what I normally use, just because I wanted to ase how well the editing software would work under crappy shooting circumstances. As you can see, I got pretty darned good results, even with the uneven lighting, whiuch was just the room lights in the kitchen, and nothing else.Oh, And a desk lamp lighting me. Then I just started grabbing various bits of animation I had done (which you will see in other videos here and there) and started using the various chroma key and luminance key functions of Magix Movie Edit Pro 11 to make layers of keyed video, just to see how well it worked. This experiment laid the foundation for the work I've done in the "Tyrannovision" series. By the way: That green canvas back there and that messy kitchen is where I currently shoot my Tyrannovision videos, just to show youhow easy this stuff is to do nowadays. Why is the kitchen a mess? because I'm too busy making videos! I was also playing around with Morpheus for the first time, so you'll see some examples of that as well. Many of youhave requested video tutorials from me about special FX and editing. But while I haven't gotten around to making one yet, I thought I would at least share with you my experimental footage to give you a glimpse into my process. SOFTWARES USED: MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 11 (For compositing in chroma- and Luma-key. TerryBubble uses this as well. Check out his channel for his own chroma key tutorial) Morpheus (for morphing, natch. I also played a bit with photo warping, but Onhand is much easier for that) OnHand Wild Photo Effects (A photo-warping program that I use EXTENSIVELY for a lot of my animation) Audacity (For cleaning up the audiotape recordings of original music) Windows Movie Maker (My main editing workhorse, and it's easy to save to different formats with readouts of what your final file size will be) MUSIC: "Oprahvsky!" by Baron Dixon, based on Beethoven's "Pastorale" and Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker", inspired by an early 1990's Oprah Winfrey theme song.

My keyboard speaks only the truth...
