Cartoon Side Scrolling Road Scene Made in Motion 5 Cory Jones 2016-07-11 | Cartoon Side Scrolling Road Scene Made in Motion 5This is a very simplistic side scrolling view of moving down a road made entirely in Motion 5. The fun and learning part of making this was using a particle emitter to make the fence and center marks on the road.With a simple shape that represented a fence post and 2 boards, I was able to adjust the particle emitter to produce that shape repeatedly and horizontally at the proper speed so it would appear to be one long fence being passed in the background. The same was done for the center marks in the road.Slow "move" behaviors added to the mountains and clouds help complete a parallax look for the scene.You can download this animation from http://thestringbox.net/cartoon-road-scene-made-in-motion-5 if it may be useful to you for testing out the look of a cartoon vehicle you're working on or whatever cool thing you may be cooking up.http://www.youtube.com/user/TheStringboxhttp://thestringbox.nettwitter.com/stringboxhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/stringboxhttp://instagram.com/stringbox

Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing Cory Jones 2017-09-18 | Read up on this hymn at hymnary.orghttp://hymnary.org/text/come_thou_fount_of_every_blessingIt's one of those hymns with, you know, the powerful lyrics. The song could be a sermon in and of itself.Of course, I make variations to some of the chording but just a little. I recorded the main vocal with acoustic, then another track with sort of a harmony but really sort of a blend of the bass line and harmony, also playing nearly the same stuff on acoustic. So two guitars, two voices.I guess it could be a good duet version.Hope you enjoy.http://www.youtube.com/user/TheStringboxhttp://thestringbox.nettwitter.com/stringboxhttp://instagram.com/stringbox

Fig Pickin Devotional Cory Jones 2016-07-18 | Fig Pickin' DevotionalWe went to see my grandfather recently, to pick some figs that were ready on his trees. So we took him some lunch and visited and ate with him before going out to pick. And I want to mention, I enjoy hearing my grandfather ask the blessing at a meal. There’s something about the sincerity in what he says in his thankfulness and in the blessing he asks for those present and others whom he’s concerned about that’s often jumped out at me. I know a lot about his character in general, but there’s just that other little something can sometimes shows through when a person prays. And that’s just a neat thing to me.Now, for the devotional part here… pretend you like figs, ok, just if you don’t, and they are going to represent God’s blessings for you in life.When picking figs, you’re either sometimes on a ladder or also like in my case I got up on the roof. I’ve always liked climbing trees and being up in one, and in the case of these, they weren’t necessarily the best for climbing so I got on the roof to be where I could reach the higher figs.So in that scenario, on a ladder or on the roof, it’s a sort of be still and know that He is God situation. It’s a steady position kind of deal where you only reach an appropriate distance for what you’re picking. You don’t, as it were, move while you’re picking.Figs, like blessings, are ready at different times in your life. And when they’re ready, there’s very little effort needed on your part, you just reach up and take it and put it in your bucket. Some take just a little more effort but are never that difficult. I theorize about effort in one’s relationship to God and of course I could be wrong and maybe this is just how it seems to work out for me, but regarding effort, it appears that the more effort I put in myself, or to phrase a slightly different way, the more I try to make something happen myself, the less successful it is, or I am. The work then, seems to be more in two areas, 1) understanding new things and concepts, or how things work or are to come about, and 2) in waiting patiently for things to come about. Waiting, in patience, is a true challenge. Especially when something you desire is a good thing, and it’s a dream worthy of pursuit, still, in this world, even when there’s a great idea, or something good for you that you know would be proper for you to go after, it always takes time for it to come about. And it can be a really long wait sometimes. Even longer than waiting on figs!And getting back to the figs, you’ll definitely see while you’re picking them that there may still be lots of green ones, and of course you just wait a little longer for those and go back the next week and so on, but then there’s some that are way up in the tree, and those just might not be for you. God may want to feed the birds with those you know as he cares for them too, and those out of reach figs, you just have to understand are not for you. There are many good things, blessings, that exist that just may not be yours, and definitely are not yours. You can appreciate that they exist, but you have to work within a certain scope of what you can handle, and naturally, if you can be trusted with little you may be trusted with more later on.http://www.thestringbox.net

Free Motion Background Star Field and Jump To Warp Cory Jones 2016-07-12 | Free Motion Background Star Field and Jump To WarpAnother fun Motion 5 learning experience with a particle emitter and a replicator. The more still star field in the background is a randomly filled replicator and the moving stars are of course the emitter.The star stretch was done by elongating the x (width) of the flare used as the particle. Mostly pleased with the result despite a few dotted looking streaks that I think are because of the angle.Adjusting the speed to be right was also a challenge. It's not the standard Star Wars jump to warp but could certainly be useful in an animation so you are welcome to download this background from my site: http://thestringbox.net/free-star-field-and-warp-jump-backgroundhttp://www.youtube.com/user/TheStringboxhttp://thestringbox.nettwitter.com/stringboxhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/stringboxhttp://instagram.com/stringbox

Motion 5 Compositing - Fake Movie Poster (For Fun) Cory Jones 2014-11-19 | Motion 5 Compositing - Fake Movie Poster (For Fun)For your viewing pleasure, this is just a demonstration of compositing with Motion 5. I threw some pics and particles together to make a fake, animated movie poster of sorts. Just a bit of creative fun, really.Would like to note that when you see the images fading, that was done just to give this little video a bit more life. The compositing has more to do with the blend modes, so in the video you're seeing glimpses of the photos as they were by themselves, then just for dramatic effect, their opacity is lowered (animated) to 'blend' in, then it jumps to their final blend mode.If enough people comment and ask, I'm willing to do a tutorial to explain more of what's going on and how to get the final result.Be creative and have fun with Motion 5!http://www.youtube.com/user/TheStringboxhttp://thestringbox.nettwitter.com/stringboxhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/stringboxhttp://instagram.com/stringbox

The Black Keys - I Got Mine - A Different Style Cover Cory Jones 2014-04-03 | I Got Mine - The Black KeysA slightly different rendition of 'I Got Mine' by The Black Keys. Although I do pay homage to the original as a bridge portion of the song. I hope you enjoy, but either way, leave a comment! Don't think I changed the chords of the song all that much. Mainly E, A, B7, a D7 snuck in at last bit of chorus phrase. Although I do tune my guitars down a half-step to E flat. Just makes things a bit easier for my vocal range.Doing music covers is fun and so is making silly videos, hence the oddity you are witnessing. Think of it this way, I could just record the song and post it with a picture, but this way at least I get to have fun with the green screen and learn more on the video editing side, and there's something interesting to watch while you listen, well, something weird to watch while you listen. :) Several things I'm still and will continue to work on getting better at is playing the drums and lead guitar work. And probably the singing too. And looking better on camera. I know I look ridiculous. Enjoy anyway! Oh and I could use some pointers on playing bass too.I record, mix, and master the audio in Digital Performer 8. Video is edited in Final Cut Pro X, used GoPro camera. Also, I do use Motion 5 at times for some composite work and effects. The acoustic I used for this recording is a Sigma by Martin, the electric a Schecter Ultra III, and bass a Peavey. Drums are older set of Pearl. They have all been great to play on.

Next Girl - The Black Keys Cory Jones 2013-12-21 | Simultaneous Drums and GuitarThis is what I call my 'coffee shop' version of Next Girl by The Black Keys. Chords are a little different than the original of course, but work pretty well if you need to play the song by yourself on acoustic guitar.I tune my guitar down a half step on all the strings so they are E(flat), A(flat), D(flat), G(flat), B(flat), E(flat).

Urban Gardening Ideas - Tower Garden Cory Jones 2013-10-03 | Urban Gardening Ideas - Tower GardenMy first experience with the Tower Garden by JuicePlus+. cory.towergarden.comThe Tower Garden is an aeroponic growing system. It uses no dirt at all. Tower Tonic is is in the water basin at the bottom and that is pumped up to the top of the tower, then the water and nutrients rain down over the plants' roots. This set to happen every 15 minutes for a duration of 15 minutes.This is a great solution for small urban gardens and even larger gardens, particularly when you don't have a lot of options or space for planting in good soil. Regardless, this system is better than just growing in good soil. Plants grow faster and bigger in the Tower Garden. A recent study by the University of Mississippi proves it!Read the study here: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ecam/2014/253875The Tower Garden was developed by Tim Blank of Future Growing, the world leader in urban and commercial hydroponic food farms. Tim served as the Greenhouse Manager for Epcot's cutting-edge agricultural display until 2005.This video is about JuicePlus+ Tower Garden, urban gardening ideas, gardening, growing your own food, alternative growing methods, hydroponic growing, aeroponic growing systems.Music for this video is cousin on drums and myself on guitar.http://cory.juiceplus.comcory.towergarden.comtwitter.com/stringboxhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/stringboxhttp://instagram.com/stringboxhttp://www.youtube.com/user/TheStringboxhttp://prov25-2.net
Motion 5 Effects - Transparent Camouflage Cory Jones 2013-08-21 | Motion 5 Effects - Transparent CamouflageHow to make a (transparent) predator camo effect in Apple Motion 5!I use two (2) groups. The lower group is just a clean background. The upper group will contain the actor and a distorted version of the background used in the lower group.The actor is keyed from the green screen and that layer's blend mode needs to be set to "Stencil Alpha" to allow the distorted background to pass through the "shape" of the actor. NOTE: the top group with the actor and distorted background must be set to "Normal" instead of "Pass Through". I used the "Underwater" effect on the background to be distorted, but you should experiment with other distorting options and adjust the settings for the effect to your taste. Lots of potential there.twitter.com/stringboxhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/stringboxhttp://instagram.com/stringboxhttp://www.youtube.com/user/TheStringboxhttp://prov25-2.net
