Green Screens and behind the scenes

Bunny is my little dog. She is seen here on the green screen cyclorama. Camera testing with animals is a fun yet trying experience. After getting Bunny to be comfortable on the cloth, we found out that she is so white on her chest that she was actually reflecting the green! This makes it almost impossible to do a proper composite background later in post production.

You see, the green will bleed the background video or image onto her body. Not the desired effect. So, turns out we will likely have to go with a blue screen to do any shots with her. Good thing our new screen will be blue!

We hope to share our video with Bunny in another acting video. Real soon I hope!

A look back

It is hard to believe that my previous TV show was so long ago and in a far away land. Voice overs and writing for new shows, documentaries, corporate videos and aviation training media kept me pretty busy since then. I knew I’d be back.

If you are not familiar with my first talk show, check out the imdb listing for both seasons. When I look back, it’s pretty inpressive what I did pretty much single handedly.

Let’s see how long the new show will run! The premiere airs very soon!

My story, is a good story…

The place I most enjoy is where I am creating. Creating creative content for television, radio, or traditional/online media. What I’m best known for is my writing and my voice. But I have a lot more to offer…

I believe in good people, and in the good of people…

I have done a lot in my lifetime. From aviation to music, and from audio engineer to creative media professional.

To understand the spirit of humanity, one must understand all aspects of life first hand. I love the spirit of invention and the will to overcome adversity. Having done so many things in my life, I have now been able to share the stories of interesting people I’ve met along the way with countless interesting stories. Everyone has a story.

Martin @ the Crossroads

The Crossroads is the place where important life decisions are made. We make them every day and I have met people, on my journey, that won out over all odds. To facilitate the human spirit, I created a TV show called The Crossroads with Martin Anthony that ran weekly on an international multi-lingual news channel in Istanbul.

The show highlighted quality entertainment and interesting people for over a year and a half.

I’m then produced and hosted a follow-up show called Martin @ the Crossroads with a talk format but with me looking for answers to reconnect with my own culture.

I have also worked as an:

Aviation expert – on-air (developed aviation safety training for over a decade)
Documentary & news writer, presenter, and producer
corporate film and e-learning production
script editing for voice

Marketplace…

Over time, I have developed and or created many entities that are all quite diverse from each other. Here you can find all my creative and technical marketplace activities.

Creative content and web design. I have developed websites since the introduction of the World Wide Web. I am fully versed in all aspects of it. From hosting and coding to design and development, I became an “accidental web designer”.

I also have these sites that I manage and own:

xRds.TV (Martin at the Crossroads, creative content, website, and hosting)
Systems-Solar.com (e-commerce & website design, hosting)
VeganPagan.com (groupware forum, creative content, website design, and hosting)
SongButchers.com (music website)
VancouverHighland.com (groupware forum)

So there you have it, I’ve done a lot and will continue to do so. I hope that your visit here was fruitful and if you require any services that I can provide personally or from my creative team please contact me !

Best,

Martin
