Mortal Kombat: Legacy brings to life the complex and rich history of the gaming world of MORTAL KOMBAT. Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung are obsessed with reigning over various realms (parallel universes) and the winners of Mortal Kombat competitions are granted supreme control over these worlds. The Earthrealm (Earth) is an unconscious participant in this competition and only a few select humans understand the consequences of losing Mortal Kombat and what it will mean to Earth. In a universe with powerful evil sorcerers, cyborgs, Gods and movie stars, this Mortal Kombat digital media series drives a cohesive understanding of what this Universe is all about.

Every video now has three additional SCREENSHOTS!

Untitled Spider-Man Reboot

How dare they?!

How dare they?! Sam Raimi has directed an outstanding trilogy: Spider-Man 1 (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), Spider-Man 3 (2007).

In 2012 a new spider-man reboot project is to be screened. Guess what, this one is going to be in 3D. Well, from my point of view, it is the craziest idea to reboot a successful blockbuster that had been screened just a few years ago. It’s OK if you remake a 30 year old movie, but a 5 year old – you’d better not! Because the audience remains the same!

Take a look at spidey’s suit differences:

UPDATE: Some new photos and a video preview

Wrecked building shelter

Have you noticed 5/5 van Gogh's art?! =D

This is a footage compilation of wrecked building. Edited by me. I was testing motion tracking and 3d graphics + color correction. 

AKORDS

This is a collective work of choreographer ANDREJS and two editors: me and Rihards

Robbery

Another of my works.

A man enters his house. He sits in front of a computer. But suddenly he hears someone moving in the end of the room. What is it?

REFLECTION

Behold! My documentary about reflections. English subtitles are also to be added soon.




RU: Что такое отражение в повседневной жизни людей? Давайте забудем про всю мистику зеркал о параллельныx мирах и рассмотрим понятие отражения с точки зрения обычного потребителя.

ENG: A short video about reflections and mirrors. A usual phenomenon with unusual value.

This one was shot in Riga.

LG OPTIMUS 3D Dark of the Moon?

It's an LG OPTIMUS 3D. Does it really worth it?












Well, the new TRANSFORMERS 3 is to be screened this summer,
and the third part of the movie "Dark of the Moon" is to be in 3D.

If you're the very fan of TRANSFORMERS, then this product is just something more than meets the eye.

I just quite do not understand what aerobics and transformers have in common...
LG Optimus 3D hands-on: here
