The Big Secret Project
Not new to anyone that some secret project was going on. I tried giving some clues and probably some of you catched them, but here it goes the official thing: Even from the name, you can take that Noise Junkies was intended to be a video and AUDIO website and that I have only focused on the video really (tutorials, mainly), but it was more than time to really step up and go much further than the GarageBand albums…well, time has arrived. Ashley Staggs (www.staggasaurarts.com) decided to use all his amazing rocket science coding skills to kindly help me turning the dream a reality: The “Noise Junkies Music Database”. Now, what exactly is it? Pretty much it is a system with users (so you have to register for free), where all the users can post their music into the database. That way, we will have several authors, several different styles, rating systems and much more. There will also be the PREMIUM section, where you can purchase music from TOP NOTCH stuff. I know Connor Berge, creator of Audio Elite (http://visualfxtuts.com/featured-post-audio-elite-review), Ashley and I will be selling some our stuff too. All users can sell their music, as long as they are Premium users (and in that case the contract is a little more specific). For right now, this is what we can tell you. Please, ask questions and send suggestions, part of the delay is because we don´t know what to add in the pages and that´s where you all come in!
NEW TUT: Dancing Spheres
In this brand new Cinema 4D, we will make a scene with several arrays of rotating spheres that will change color over time. This can be done with or without MoGraph, but in our case we will not use MoGraph. Link: http://www.vimeo.com/9891873
Happy Birthday
Hey everyone, just passed by to say that today is my birthday. I know most of you don´t care, but for the sense of community, I am here to announce it. Also, if you ask how I spent it, I can say I did work on the site a bit. Ashley and I are continuing the kickass revolutionary thing we are doing and I´m tellin´you guys, its gonna rock balls, like this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XLMxIq3kfo, yes that is right, Dream Theater gave me a birthday gift, new track!!! Well, hope you all have a nice weekend and don´t miss this upcoming week with a new tutorial.
Tutorial?
Well, sorry for not having any tut soon, I´m working on a much cooler project for the website. But I do have a tutorial planned already and I think it will be a hot one. It will be called the Dancing Spheres BG. It is basically an animation made in Cinema 4D where several arrays of spheres rotate reflecting each other. Here is the image and let me know what you think: http://www.noisejunkies.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/psychdelic-BG0064.jpg
Mind-Blowing!
Well, there´s some pretty amazing stuff coming soon over NJ. It is related to music and we all need to give a big thanks to Ashley from http://www.staggasaurarts.com/ for helping me out a lot. Although most of you don´t know exactly what we are talking about, I can guarantee it will be known as some sort of Watershed over Noise Junkies (if it works). We wil go over a BETA stage for the first month, but after that it will be just fun stuff.
VLOG 3 Online
The VLOG is now online. In this episode, I will talk about the movie “Awakenings”, the album “Wish You Were Here” and David Wood´s website.
Back on speed of Light
Sorry for the days off, you guys. I was celebrating Carnival Break so I travelled for a couple of days. However, before I did I was already planning some very cool stuff that is happening very soon. For now, i wanna be very mysterious and just show you this song I made: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1532256/Watching%20Raindrops.mp3
VLOG #2 Online
Well, here is it. Please comment on what you thought of the format, share your opinions and suggestions here! And remember, I don´t know the next one, so give me ideas!
VLOG #2 Coming
Hey everyone. As I said earlier, I will be releasing a VLOG episode every two weeks from now one. The VLOGs will have the same format: I will review three things related to arts (music, video, websites). For this first episode, I will review two websites and a music album, but I have no idea for the next one, so guess what? Leave a comment below with suggestions, maybe your favorite band, favorite album, your website, favorite movie? I don´t know, If I research and form a decent opinion on it, I will definably be reviewing it.
