Merry Christmas Everyone and Happy New Year from your filmmaker pal Ryan Rakowski. Lots of stuff is in plan for these next couple of months. My work schedule and class schedule are a little more flexible so more videos will be uploaded. The New Years resolution is a video a week. I hope I can keep to this resolution, here are a few videos that I have lined up for 2k13.

-Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens Disassembly and Reassembly- I made a half hour long video on how to disassemble and reassemble the lens however I need to re-edit and re-record audio for it to make it less than 10 minutes. A half hour is a bit too much. I also believe that being able to take apart an EF lens is good to know so you don’t ever have to go to Canon if you ever have a problem with your lens. Fix it yourself!

-HDR VIDEO + FREE LENSING VIDEO

-Visual Effect tests for work- I’ve been doing some VFX tests for work and I’ve been needing to upload my work.

-How To Change Multiple Video File Extensions Quick Without Converters- This is a remake from a video I made on my other channel. Something that I think every film and video person should know how to do.

-Super 8 Lens Flare Project- This is a project I started last year but stopped after Janurary, the link is to my old blog so you can see my post about it: http://ryanrakowskiblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-task-recreating-super-8-lens-flares.html

-FumeFX Tutorials: I have 3dmax and Fumefx now I just have to start some tutorials and post my  results.

I leave you with one last video that I did for Please Promise, a local Christian Punk Rock band from Kalamazoo, Michigan that I did a video for. It’s a music video that puts you into the life of the band on a typical holiday day:
