Once more Sylar invades the otherwise idyllic Tyranny of the Tyrannovision Tyrant.

The Tyrannovision Tyrant gets an unexpected call from a more famous dictator who wants a really big favor.

Dr. Interact has claimed responsibility for the 7/11 attack, while Qpid makes a pre-emptive strike on the command center. A mysterious text messenger makes an even more mysterious demand of the Tyrannovision   more...Tyrant, a demand that may be met by a tremendous life-force in a small. delicate package..... All that and "Armchair Karaoke", too!

Dix likes to help Chix with the Fix! He always works toward...."resolution."

A day that will live in Villainy.

Upon erecting a large makeshift greenscreen studio at a friend's house using green fabric as a backdrop and green-painted masonite as a floor, an army is amassed using one actor and lots of chroma key   more...compositing, thus creating a "300"-style battle charge. All compositing is performed in Magix Movie Edit Pro 11.  less

I havnt really gone into the importance of lighting in this so I advise watching Baron Dixons latest video where you see his setup.
Snaggit   more...software was used for capturing this video....excellent piece of software which is very easy to use.

More chroma key fun with my Persian Cat, Binky.

I posted this so y'all will be patient and indulgent with me while I get the next chapter of Tyrannovision up. Meanwhile, this is sort of a behind-the-scenes look at how I shoot my raw footage and how   more...I create the costume pieces for my new Tyrannovision character, Dr. Klindowiener, the resident mad scientist who invents all of the Tyrant's gadgetry. You can get a fuller perspective on my half-assed approach to greenscreen work...meaning if I can do it, then YOU can do it, too!
So be paitient with me. It's a lot of work to make one of these shows all by myself here, but they're usually worth the wait, arent they?  less

Watch out, LiveVideo! The Tyrannovision Tyrant will show you how Tyranny is done!

More from the Soundstage of Tyrannovision. I talk a little more about my use of the greenscreen, and a lot more about my use of the glue gun in costume, prop, and fine art design. I hop you find it   more...inspiring.  less

To better serve the oppressed, I, your Glorious Imperious Tyrant, give the community the opportunity to ask me questions...but don't you DARE question my AUTHORITAAAAAAAAAH!!

(Hey, if any of y'all wanna   more...be on the show just message me privately with your question or gag idea and I'll work with you from there.)

Bahama Bin Baden-Baden, an Arabistani explosives enthusiast from al-Bhundhii seeks technical advice from the Tyrant.

Here is the overview of the editing software that I use to do all my video compositing. In fact, I used that very software to edit THIS video! I do these vlogs very extemporaneously so what is actually   more...up behind me on the greenscreen was decided upon in the editing phase. This software enables me to work pretty fast and loos, so I can just throw everything into a vlog but the kitchen sink (The kitchen sink being hidden behind the greenscreen canvas).  less

Dr. Klindowiener was a little upset that I didn't to a Production Vlog/Tutorial in his costume, so I've made it up to him by performing the entire video in his character, since he has a sort of educational   more...side to him anyway. Staging and lighting for the smaller greenscreen is discussed in some detail.  less

I thought I'd give y'all some more "Bonus features" with an audio commentary on my most recent TYRANNOVISION episode.

Y'all wanted to know about what I use for cameras. Here it is!

A Public Service Announcement to ALL patriotic Tyrantulanians (And that means ALL of 'em!) commemorating the day the Conjoined Countries of the Continent surrendered their sovereignty and became united   more...under the Tyrantulanian banner. Hail to our Tyrant!  less

A clip from the next episode of TYRANNOVISION

Making slight improvements on the greenscreen stage. But I'm not feeling completely myself today for some reason......

I made this short commercial while I was playing around with chroma key. Itdoe not make an sense but it fun to do. enjoy!

As Larry videotapes me painting my old loafers green to complete my chroma key suit, we get to talking, as we often do, about movies, monsters, and special effects. This is our typical banter and we   more...hope you enjoy just kicking back and eavesdropping on our conversation.  less
