Study – Long Exposure-Like Visual Effect

One of my professions is a professional photographer. Of many techniques,
I love to take long exposure photos and often like to light-paint within them.

Study – Recreating LCD Panels / Trinitron Like Matrices

For a while, I have been coding a study to recreate a real-time movie player that will show the video in a more retro-tech experience.

Here is what I mean.

Hi everybody !

My name is Jin Saburi, CEO and Creative Director of my company, Metal Red, Inc.
I am also a professional photographer, musician, and have been programming for nearly 30 years now, from Commodore PETs, Tandy TRS-80s, Commodore 64s, Apple ][s, The second Mac, Japanese PCs, MIPS workstations, then back to the Macintoshs (IIci, Quadras, etc.) and Windows too. Mainly a Mac-guy – as I am mainly a designer – but have been a ADC member for 15 yrs, and MSDN member for ten.
The other guys are much more talented and should rather be writing for ‘JActionSuperGods.com’, but I am the old school, try-to-get-away-with-a-sloppy-code AS3.0 learner. Don’t tell me my code sucks. I KNOW ;D
I will try to give some nice ideas, show some work-in-progress stuff, and also give some information about the Japanese market in this weblog.
