Youtube LG Contest: Life is good... "when it ends"

Hey zealots.

I got a driver license for five years.
Well, nearly. In three days that statement will be true.


Yep, watch and be mesmerized by this new vid. Actually, it's about TWO things.

1/ Taking part to the "Life is Good when..." contest on Youtube
2/ First test-drive of a new edition technique I came upon a few month ago.

1/. Life is Good when ... It ends!
Ever checked the usual uploaded kind of themes people upload? It's pook. Yeah, this is me and I judge it stinks. Show what does REALLY depict "life is good" for you. It has to be, like, "wow" when you watch. You must feel imbued with these scenes, the power, the passion it holds! No. Nothing of these. So,watching their vids gave me some ... inspiration.
Beware of the Shriek. Only pain underst... ok.



For more about my deep thoughts about those people, please refer to the end of this post. More business and fancy content first.
Oh, one thing first. USA/Canada only. Despite that heartless rule, Hobstad himself (raab?) wanted to broadcast his génialissime idea, reaching the next milestone to world domination.

2/ Difference mate keying.
Hey, just consider picture A and B:


fig1: Picture A. The "matte"


fig 2: Picture B.

A is like B, but with some dude acting in first plan. For those who are new to my style, or those that have NOT yet understood, I don't want others to be involved in the makin' of MY vids. I'm wickedly possessive and selfish.
Computer techniques help you substracting all that belongs to B and not to A. I'm glad to hear you've all understood this. So, you're expecting the following reslut, are you not?



Our ragdoll has been substracted. It's not fully processed, it's a quick'n'dirty test drive. Of course it's applied on the whole clip, not a kind of GIMP filter (be open source please).

Now you learned about the techie stuff, let's start speaking about the random things. You shut up, I speak. Write, ... .

So, my character! It's me, Hobstad (as usual):

Naruto fans will say:
"Hey, with that thingie on your forehead and that collar, you look like you try to imitate naruto, do you?"
Well, how about "no"?

Naruto looks like this:

Never checked the anime - But I don't like his look. Check google, as for pics and you'll see his face. I just don't like his face and attitude.
By the way. "Naruto uzumaki". I bet you don't know "uzumaki" means a "spiral"?
"Spiral" (ov: Uzumaki), the title of a great manga it is! Nipon horror. Great stuff. Back to me, ho.

Now, my supercharged E30 318i, dubbed "3-18 injection":


It's pure firely mechanics, back to the late '80! Get used to this car, it's my lil friend. Rear wheel drive with my dead tires makes it fun to "burnout". It's a little one, I don't want to stress the gearbox. I wish I had the E30 evo-II edition of the M3.
*sigh*



The fuel/oxygen mix is not optimal, still needs some fine tuning. Will have to replace my tires, will do it as well in a few days.

In front of the mirror, was like: "Hey I look like a baddie in Madmax 2":



Well, compare, not that much, but in my memory, it did:


Ok, yeah it's the guy being owned by the chic. Notice her headband, it looks good. Well, it was a pain to find this pic, and it's not easy to see the "berzerker". Ah, the '80. Hehe. Just please don't imagine me with the studded leather stuff nor with vinyl undies.

Speaking of madmax, I wanted to focus on some "mechanic" details, like the injector switch or "moving parts of some kind":



So, a small-scale burnout to get started!


The Shaguar is back and it's better and badder than ever!
You've played carmageddon in your young days? I did. You should recognize this sentence, right? Shaguar is off-topic, btw.



Notice the 40-100 kmh acceleration, less than 4 seconds. Sixteen years and still it packs a punch. Don't mess with a supercharged M40B18 shortblock. Yeah, mechanic fans will tell me I'm a bit blurry or not accurate enough, forgive me, i'm in software engineering, not engine crafting. Hah, I could place one about myself.



Don't expect a french-made car to do this ;) German engineering in the house. Yeah.

I wanted to expermient and explore "new" ideas, like the alternated fading black screens with heartbeats:



Oh, notice I needed to output some hatred.



I was stunned by the gross tastelessness of people when it comes to provide with some views as described in point 1/.
Well, that being said, you're not reading point 2/ anymore. This is the continuum of my thoughts. Avast!
I could sound harsh, but I won't today. Just burn this in: I hate people who DECIDE to be thick as two short planks. Etre con comme un manche de brosse, in french.

Hey, I love "Oxford Hachette". You input: "con" and you get a juicy list of words and phrases.

Now a last one picture, the finale:


This time it's the last picture, sworn, spit and so on:


Make buckle up! Time for the movie n_n



Hey, I'm sure some retards will be angry to see a fake roadkill, and will comment things of a brainy kind. Hehe.
