POLICE CHASE 4

is in production! I have the plan written out, and the hardest part is animated! Onto the chase!

Upcoming Series?

Sorry for not posting in a while... If you want more news, subscribe to my Facebook page. There's a link on my YouTube channel up at the top.

Anyway...

I am thinking of doing a tutorial series, from the ground up. It would start at the very beginning, and go all the way up through making a channel, branding it, what sets to get for a good city, making videos, special effects, and everything in between!

What do you guys think?

Merry Christmas!

Hooray! It's Christmas! That also means that I am on break! I'll be trying to animate as much as I can, but it's getting to be SAT season for me, because I am a High School Junior. Also, I updated to YouTube's new layout. I'm not a fan of the layout overall, but I decorated it the best that I could.

Shootout Video coming soon!

Michael (gearheadtheman) challenged me to make an action video without using cars, which can only mean a shootout. The set is made, and filming has begun, but animating people takes much longer than animating cars does, so I really have no idea when I will want it to be done.

P.S. This is NOT Shootout 3.

Police Chase 3 is out!

It turned out well. What do you think?

Animation is done!

Remember that new Police Chase animation I told you about? Well, my job is done now, and it has been sent off to my friend who is making it a really awesome custom soundtrack! It should be up ASAP!

New animation coming soon! (also, a new blog post)

Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting here for a while, but there hasn't been muh news. That's about to change because a new animation will be coming out soon! All I have to do is add sound effects, and then send it off to one of my friends who is making me a custom soundtrack for the video! I can't wait to finish it, because I haven't made any noew animations since Shipping Yard Showdown, and that was a really long time ago!

School's Back in session!

I have been in school for a full week now, and things aren't looking too good for my movies. This is my Junior year, and I have opted to take a VERY heavy course load, including 3 college-level classes. This, plus the fact that I am in the Marching Band, is leaving me very little time to st down and animate, and the house construction doesn't make homework any faster either. Anyway, I really hope to have some more content here soon, and I am sorry for not posting much. I may crank out some reviews soon, really whenever I get a chance to sit down and film and edit some video.

City Tour Up!

Even though half my house is blocked off and under construction, I still have a LEGO City! Check it out!

Did you know I have a Facebook page? "Like" Upside Up Productions!

NEW CAMERA

YEAH!!! FINALLY!!! I actually got a new video camera for animating with! It's full HD (which is great for me), and can take really high-res videos! I will probably still only upload in 720p, but the excess pixels will be used for camera movement in editing. I am also experimenting with 3D models in After Effects, and I will probably have a test video soonish. School DOES start soon for me though, and my house is going through MASSIVE renovations (again), so you may never know, ut I am really trying to get some more videos out ASAP.

DO NOT BE ALARMED. DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET.

I just tweaked my YouTube background. That is all.
Also - hopefully, a new animation coming soon.
Also also - hopefully, a new website coming soon.

Made it!

I am in India!

Bad News

Sorry everyone, but I am afraid I have some bad news. I was really hoping to get the runaway train movie posted this week, before I leave for a one-month trip to India, but I just couldn't get it done. Perhaps worse though, is that my house is being remodeled, and my bedroom is being shrunk by almost 2 feet. Unfortunately, that means I may not have room for a LEGO City in here anymore, and there isn't anywhere in the house for it. This could perhaps be the end of North Blockburg. I don't know though. Even if I have to pick up my city forever, I will still make more animations and movies, (especially the runaway train), using sets instead of a city. This is also the worst case scenario. It may turn out that I have loads of extra room. Anyway, I am sorry about the train movie, but you should still expect it this fall. Seeya!

New YouTube Channel Design

Do you guys like it? It's something different.

4 More Days!

I only have 4 more days left of school, and then I get to stay home for 2 weeks with nothing to do but animate! Then, I leave for India for 1 month, where I won't have too much free time. I get back and go on another week's vacation, and then I come back and Band Camp starts, then school. So, I am hoping to get a lot done in these coming two weeks. Wish me luck!

I got my prizes!

Today, I got the prizes from LeoKimVideo's Car Crash contest in the mail! I really like the sets that I got, and am very happy that I won. I would like to thank all of you guys for being so supportive over my year on YouTube and helping me get as far as I did. Anyway, a review of the set will probably be up soon, so stay tuned!

Black Smart Car

After posting the Shipping Yard Showdown video, I got a LOT of people telling my they liked the black car. Should I make a how-to on building it?
EDIT: I made it anyway. It's fun having a bit of free time.
