Watch on YouTube I’ve only been to 2 of the Bay Area Maker Faire, and one Mini Maker Faire in Provo. Generally I don’t get out much. This year I almost skipped Bay Area and just went to NOMCon, but considering the drama, I’m kinda glad I went to Bay Area this time, as it may end up being historic. …
YouTube Link I want to make sure I’m covering all my bases. If you didn’t see the tweet or get the email, or the notification on YouTube, then I’m posting it here as well. I am planning a livestream on Monday Morning to kick off the Chibimal’s kickstarter. And if the livestream is well attended, I’ll take that as excuse …
Watch Video Spoiler: No. That is to say, “No” is the spoiler. Not, “No spoiler”. No, makerspaces aren’t doomed. But they are a business, and like any business, if they’re not run properly they go out of business. Actually, now that I think about it, if 9 out of 10 new businesses fail, Makerspaces are actually bucking that trend. Either …
Watch the video I am constantly aware that this is a massive departure from Low Poly Dinos that went so well last year. And I would be lying if I said that didn’t worried me. This is, almost laser focused, on a demographic that doesn’t currently follow me. It’s a demographic that there generally isn’t enough of in 3D printing …
Watch Video You might not have seen this video in my usual channel. This video went up for my makerspace channel, my day job. It was specifically to basically record something I end up saying several times a week, with slightly higher production values. Slightly. Production-wise, this video was a lot more like the videos I used to do. Single …
Watch Video Since this is my first Maker Faire video this year, I want to talk about the recording rig I used to get the shots this year. Last year I basically had my crappy old phone and a lav mic. This year I got a new phone which takes excellent video, even in 4k. But the sound on it …
Follow the 3D Printing Professor on Instagram! A little behind the scenes about how I’m pulling this of. I’m using IFTTT to take my instagram posts and repost them on twitter and facebook. So technically, I’m kinda gaming the system when I post. But I also understand that if I don’t maintain a presence on these sites that it won’t …
Watch Video Maybe you’re asking “What’s the deal with the still images? Didn’t Joe record the video.” Well, of course I recorded the video. But when you yank out the SD card before the camera is done writing the video file to it, well, it’s like I didn’t record any video. Fortunately, my son was a sport about it, so …
A bit about this post. Some of it was written immediately after the Low Poly Dino kickstarter. But I decided not to release it then, waiting until I was ready to start again. It sat for a year before I went back to review and edit it a little in preparation for my second 3D modeling kickstarter. So this is …
Watch Video This video is, admittedly, left over footage that I cut from the illusion box video I put out a few weeks back. At the time I felt it made the video drag, and interrupted the pace of what was a rather punchy video. But I still thought people might like to know the technique. UV editing and texture …
