Loklo Media 3D Animation Blog

So I was able to recently help out a middle school class with some green screening of a movie they were making from a novel. This was a fun little experience, and I learned alot.  I’ve read and watched tutorials about chroma keying/green screening in the past, but have never actually tried it. So, I went to Walmart, picked up a piece of green cotton 1m x 2m, and went to town. We stretched the screen nice and flat (after ironing it) and taped it to a portable whiteboard with as flat of lighting possible in the school. Then, using an old Flip cam on a tripod, shot the “actors”. Some garbage matte was applied in Vegas to get rid of the non-green stuff on the fringes, but I didn’t roto the actors to prevent holes in their clothing/bodies. Oh well… time was short.

Anyway, here’s the result:

So I registered a new (cheap) .info domain to focus Loklo’s Local web design efforts in terms of search engine optimization – It’s more of a test – I know .info domains aren’t weighted the same as .com, etc, but it’s better than loklomedia.com.  Loklo creates custom (X)HTML/CSS web design, with very light PHP and Javascripting abilities (growing with every project).  We also use and recommend different dynamic CMS solutions for most business websites – Order of preference as follows: CMSMS, WordPress, Joomla.  There are always local business, entrepreneurs, needing new sites, or updating aging sites (or converting them to CMS).

Check out Lethbridge Web Design by Loklo Media – pricing is fair, contracts/small print is very, very friendly, and we’ve got some great feedback.

I’ve decided to become a mirror for a popular PC technician diagnostic CD image, called Hiren’s Boot CD. It’s an awesome disk, which should be in every geek’s bench. It is bootable, and gives you all sorts of drive, partition, diagnostic, etc type tools, as well as AV scans, testing and more within windows through it’s AutoRun Menu. Check it Out!

Loklo Media is also sponsoring the new Lethbridge News website. It’s by the people, for the people, etc type news. If you’re from Lethbridge, you should head over there too.

Cheers!

Well, after deliberating, procrastinating, “designing” and researching for over a year, I’ve finally got the www.loklomedia.com website updated. Much cleaner, simpler, and faster to edit and change. I was trying to get it to be a part of this WordPress system, but after trying to wrap my head around all the .htaccess mods necessary, I gave up. so I installed a CMSMS system (which I generally prefer over Joomla for most things), customized a template, loaded it with content, and set it live.

I would REALLY love some comments and feedback on it. The old site is still available at [removed] for comparison sake – but I might not stay there forever.
