iPad Art

Today in class we talked about whether or not it was possible to connect an iPad to our computers to draw in programs like photoshop. Our professor Arturo mentioned a finger painting of Morgan Freeman that was done on the iPad and I decided to do some research on it.
I found this video on youtube of the painting

but I also found some searches that talked about this video being fake. Even in the comments people mention that the textures seem way too good to be done with only your fingers. I myself, am not personally an expert on this kind of technology yet. However, I can say that whether this was done with only fingers or was done in photoshop this is a really good piece of work.

This is another video by the same artist (Kyle Lambert) of Beyonce. This is really impressive and though I'm not as skilled in art as Kyle I am definitely going to try this app out. If I had to guess I'd say doing these portraits would take a couple of hours to get this precise. This also takes a lot of skilled finger movements to get perfect painting strokes. Again, it would take lots of practice for someone like myself to get this good.

Mocha and Tablets

On Thursday when we worked with Mocha, I had a bit of trouble in my clip with some tracking. I had a clip of a mobile device and there was a lot of activity around it so the program did not track perfectly. I found this on the internet and even though it was designed for CS5 it still seems to be decently effective. I've still got some work to do on the project file I started, but it was definitely a step in the right direction. Video is below:

The New iPhone and iPad Look Pretty Sweet

So have you heard about the new iPhone 5's features? Some say that it will boost the economy while others say it will revolutionize technology. All of these rumors sounded too good to be true so I decided to look up videos and they are all true! The site I found even had the new features for the next iPad as well. Here, watch these links:



I have three words for you: OH EMM GEE. I cannot wait to drive an hour to Syracuse to get in the long line to wait for hours to have both of these beautiful products so that I can live forever in peace and joy until the upgraded products come out and then I have to repeat the process all over again.

Alrighty, lets get serious though. These videos were made by Aatma, an animation and digital content studio specializing in the production of imagery for television, film, advertising and interactive media. Aatma has worked on a number of projects including a joint-campaign for Brisk and Star Wars Episode 1 when it came back to theaters, as well as a handful of viral videos mostly using computer graphics. I remember watching the iPad 3 Concept video a few months ago and thinking that Apple most likely has these planned in the next 7 years or so. I recently rediscovered this video and decided to watch more videos from this studio which are just as equally as cool as these two clips. Aatma has a unique ability to make videos that look so realistic that they're believable and its all very cleverly shot and perfectly edited. I'm looking forward to future videos from them.

ProCreate & iPad

I stumbled upon this one day and i thought it was awesome.  It was mostly made on the iPad, taking four months to finally finish it.  It was created on an application called ProCreate, along with using Adobe After Effects and mocha.  I really like how it transforms from shot to shot showing the brush strokes of the "paint."  it amazes me that most of this was created on an iPad.

you can watch here how they made it.

Ipad Magic

This video is showing how the people at Dentsu London choose the iPad as a tool to light paint for a 3D animation. I think this video is very interesting because of what people are coming up with. It makes me think of what may come for the future which could really be anything. The people at Dentsu London have really cleverly made 3D light from the iPad come to life.
