Food Fight




An abridged history of American-centric warfare, from WWII to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict.

For a breakdown of the actual battles portrayed in the film, visit:
http://www.touristpictures.com/foodfight/index.htm

For the official cheat sheet (breakdown of the foodstuffs), visit:
http://www.touristpictures.com/foodfight/cheat.htm

Now, to answer some FAQs...
- The food in this film was consumed either by myself or my dog after shooting. None of the cast went to waste.
- The software used was photoshop and after effects.
- The film took me 3 months to do.
- Although it seems like stop motion, most of it was stop motion created within After effects, using keyframe animation. I am basically moving the food around within the the program, frame by frame, which is the same as traditional stop motion, only it's digital.

Chicken Head Tracking - Pennywhistle Productions




Pennywhistle Productions

Chickens have a great ability to keep their heads stable. Our bodies use a gyro-like mechanism in our ears which has 3 mutually orthogonal inertial measurement devices. Modern motion processors use something called an Inertial Measurment Unit (IMU). These devices provide movement data which can be used to compensate for the movement. Chickens apparently have the same type mechanism only with a higher update rate.

*Update* The chickens were eaten by the family dog. WHOOPS! :(

What books are you reading?




thanks Youtube for the category feature!
This is the third video I've done where I ask what everyone is reading and I find it interesting what people say. I think it gives some clues as to what kind of a person they are.
I'm reading:
Twilight. (I like it. They push the mushie stuff a lot, but it's not too excruciating. girls would probably like it more than guys).
Brisingr (I'm a big fan of the first 2. Good fantasy books)
Catcher in the Rye (thought it was so-so the first time I read it. probably will like it more this time around).

My movie rating of Quantum of Solace:
3.5 out of 5 stars (s'okay. nothing very memorable about it. I noticed they don't have the crazy gadgets anymore or the inventor, Q. More realistic, though. Kind of trying to be like the 'Bourne' movies.

Santa Claus (1898)




Made in 1898, G.A. Smith's 'Santa Claus' is a film of considerable technical ambition and accomplishment for its period. It uses pioneering visual effects in its depiction of a visit from St. Nicholas.

A former magic lanternist and hypnotist, Smith was one of the first British film-makers to make extensive use of special effects to create fantastical scenes. It comes as little surprise that Smith corresponded with the French pioneer Georges Méliès at about this time, as the two men shared a common goal in terms of creating an authentic cinema of illusion. (Michael Brooke)

"Winter" with marbledrops




Made this video on a whim after asking ninjadrops to send me a beat. enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/user/ninjadrops

"Winter" (original)
Winter, you shower heaven on me
You carried raindrops for me
And lead the storm away
Oh, winter, Im feeling lazy at night
When you darken the sky
And bring the stars alive

I never should have gazed, but I did, so I did
You were so charming, I couldnt believe
How the cards, cards for Christmas came

You always say that twenty years ago in May
We hadnt met, but you hid the snow
Inside a globe
So we wouldnt freeze at the bay

Oh Winter, why to the dew drops freeze
Shiver like breathing in the breeze
On morning rides
Oh winter, why dont you dance with me
drifting like snowflakes paired with leaves
On Autumn nights

I shouldnt look away, but I did, so I did
You were so charming, I couldnt believe
How our hearts, hearts on Christmas blazed

Oh winter, my lovely lucky surprise
Chill me but you know I dont mind
Youre mine tonight
Lets bring the stars alive

The Best of Trampboarding Online




I wanted to create a completely original trampboarding video. And so this video was born. I created all audio and visual content in this video.

If you'd like to hear more of my music, please visit my MySpace page at:
myspace.com/nicholaschu

My songs are now available to download at:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=97c84fbb6980c24b91b20cc0d07ba4d2f7643845a172579f

Thanks for viewing and subscribing, as always!

© Nicholas Chu 2008

UPDATE
----------------------------------------------
Wow. To have my video featured is great. Thank you to all subscribers; without you, I probably wouldn't continue to make trampboarding videos. I never thought I'd have over 1000 subscribers!

FACT
----------------------------------------------
There is only ONE GUY (myself) in the video, and yes, I created the entire project. I trampboarded, filmed, and edited the video; I wrote, played (all music parts), and recorded the song "Futuristic Sunset" (it was actually written about two years ago; I have multiple versions of it).

MUSIC
----------------------------------------------
Since many of you are asking if I have more music to share, I have decided to upload some songs to my MySpace profile.
Check it out at:
http://www.myspace.com/nicholaschu

I also have a personal YouTube account where I post "live" versions of my music.

"Futuristic Sunset" lyrics ----------------------------------------------

A futuristic sunset in the city
And you'll be there with me too
In the sun

I've waited for this
60 years of my life
And it's finally coming true
Can't you see?

Waiting for the city's floor
To rise above of me
And I'll be flying free
In the city

I can't predict
The way it's going to have to be
Will I ever see the sea tomorrow?

Waiting for the city's floor
To rise above of me
And I'll be flying free
In the city

I won't forget anything
About my roots here on Earth
I'll keep them away all night
For my own self

I've waited for this
60 years of my life
And it's finally coming true
Can't you see?

And I'll be flying free

(Chorus)

We'll I was in the studio/
But i couldn't hit the notes/
I could've got a vocal coach/
But i ain't want no vocal coach/
Then someone showed me this plug-in/
So you can't hear the notes i miss/
So i don't need no vocalist/
And now i got an instant hit/

(Verse)

When I come through I'm a boss/
Everything i do i just floss/
And you know what I'm doing/
When do it, everything that i do is just real!/
And you know i ain't playing, im just saying man/
Everything in my brain is playing/
When im on the mic im blazing!/
Man who am I? Just like a super-saiyan/
Man I'm just saying!/
When I'm in the booth man I'm never, never playing/
And let me just quit it/
When I'm on the mic these lyrics i kick it/
And it's so exquisite/
Man i divide it up just like digits/
May i get a witness/
All up in church on sunday man, give it!/

(Chorus)

Little Change... Big Difference




Four to five trillion plastic bags are used annually around the world. After we use these bags, where do you think they go?

Although, the average plastic bag weighs less than 2 grams, the impact of these bags co-existing in our environment can be huge.

San Francisco banned plastic bags from large grocery stores, London and Paris then followed suit. Now cities (and countries) from all over the world are considering similar legislation.

But we don't have to wait for that, next time you go to the store, try using a reusable bag, it might make you feel good.

Trucking, Fuel, and Lives




Gail Nash and Randy Lambson are a couple who work for a trucking company based in the small town of Deckerville, Michigan. The rising cost of fuel has changed the way the trucking company operates, the way they think about their jobs, and, potentially, might change their lives.

This video is part of the Project:Report program. You can see more videos by other beginning journalists and learn more about the program at youtube.com/projectreport.
