It was my destiny and not a regular place at my lab


I would like to talk about the place where I always used to do my practicals. So, my first partner in second year was Farheen and we had got the place which was extreme end of the table of the lab. She didnt like sitting at the extreme end so I used to sit there. After that my second year second-semester partner was Nikhil and he was the same, he didnt like to sit on the end. So the full second year I sat on the corner rotating from 1st row to last row sitting at the extreme corner of the lab.

Third year same story happened to me, my partner was Rutuja and we had again got the extreme end of the lab. Not only that my AC (applied component) practicals, Asawari  was my partner and same place we had got and I used to sit on the end again. And so the whole third year too, I sat on the extreme end doing my practicals. So it was basically two years now sitting on that exact same place. Well story does not end here. At my AC practical exams the seating is according to the seat numbers and guess what? I got the same place at the extreme end  :D

Not only that 1 week later I had my main practical exams, the seating was according to roll numbers again. My classmate before me had got two hall ticket numbers and due to that I had got the exact same place at the extreme end of my lab.

Long story short I always performed at that end of the lab for 2 years! I never really realized it the whole year. And in my vacations it just came into my mind and decided to blog about it.

I will never forget my lab place at the extreme end, which I would call it as my destiny performing practicals over there the whole 2 years of my life.

So in conclusion 6 times the class lab partners/exam seats were shuffled and all 28 people in my class had got different places every time except me, got always the corner of the lab! That place was more like my legacy then just an ordinary lab work place!

CS 1.6 - A part of my life

April 21st 2011 was the day when I left Counter Strike; it’s been 1 year since. I started playing when in 2007 when I was in school. I just wanted to share my experiences good points / bad points since I left CS. Let’s go with the bad points first.


Bad Points:
First and foremost, ADDICTION, it was a different kind of addiction. It was not a kind of addiction in which I would die if I didn’t play CS; it was a kind of addiction in which I had to be better and better every day.  I always felt each and every second other gamers were getting better than me, so I had to keep up by improving my gaming sense and shots . Second, money. Well I must say had to spend a lot of money on it on expensive gaming gears and charges of gaming cafe. Third, time wasted. Hours and hours of gaming, no limits what so ever. I could have done most things like maybe, studying or doing my assignments on time.
Destruction of social life; well not exactly, I was making a new social life which was more internet based. Social life on the internet is also very important now-a-days. #truestory


Good points:
After I completely left CS, some of the habits still remained inside me like staying awake at night for upto 3am. And I usually do my work; movie making, graphic designing, studying at night, so staying up late was not a problem from there on. Concentration for hours was one of the things which I had got from CS. But the most important good point was UNLIMITED FUN; funny moments, funny comments, winning, losing, making new friends from various other states (I even have friends from all around the world). Simple game made in 2003 can give me more fun than most things in the world; trust me that fun is totally worth it.
Joining ‘IGamerZ’ and creating my own movie making company, 5ivetwo Movie Making would not have been possible if I had not played CS. Till today I get friend request on facebook saying “dude, I am your fan, I love your cs movies” NOTHING in this world can give me more pleasure than reading this sentence in my inbox.


Final conclusions:
None, can’t make any conclusions because there are always two sides of the same coin, good stuff comes along with bad stuff. If you are still playing CS or you have stopped playing then you should know that you are lucky that CS is/was a part of your life.

Hi, so this is my new cinema4d and photoshop wallpaper. Well, I was kinda tired of people posting many cinema4d pictures on facebook because according to me there is 0 edit in that. People just adding 3D text with colors, lights and different camera angles every time. Thats not an edit guys :| that is a just a basic feature of C4D.Anyways I have put a lot of work into this, especially editing the damn giant wheel.
You can see my efforts or watch it just to learn stuff here

Webterview with koopz




Hey guys, as you all know I am a movie maker and a graphic designer I love people with the same interest. And so to share views and thoughts about the same, I have posted a ‘Webterview’ with Oliver Thorsen, founder of Artist Universe.


How did you get your nickname 'koopz'? Tell us about it.
Was searching for fonts one day and found a koobs font, which sounded cool but looked terrible, so I modified it a little, and back then it was 'the real deal' to use z instead of s and shit like that :D

Why did you got interested in movie making and graphic designing ?
I used to photoshop a lot, made banners for virtual soccer sites and such stuff - was hell of fun. My mate introduced me to counter strike, and after playing that for some months I discovered frag movies, and found them interesting to make.

Tell us about your film and graphic designing education?
I'm not educated as a designer nor a visual artist. I'm just an amateur, doing it for fun.

What do you do to make your movie different from other movies?
Try to stay original. I never liked being just like everyone else. I've always been 'that strange kid', no matter what - music taste, clothing, interests and such stuff. People should stop thinking about what people think. Hell, I don't give a fuck if you wear Canada Goose or some unknown brand that’s 10 times cheaper. Respect to the few who are themselves, without getting affected by whats "in" and whats "out".

What kind of movie making  and graphic designing do you like the most?
Started digging the real life- fantasizing mind blowing kind of deal. As long as my productions makes people think, I'm satisfied.

How would you describe your movie making process?
Hectic, unknown and un-organized. I never know where my clips will end. I most likely drag in a song I like, start cutting it and from there it can go anywhere - to YouTube with thousands of hits, or to my recycle bin with yea, no hits.

How many hours do you put in for your movies  and graphic designing?
Way too many. Increased Value took me half a year to record, develop and produce. It's not that I'm lacking motivation, I just can't get satisfied with my own stuff.

List down some of your favorite movie makers  and graphic designers.
Oh well, talking about CS:S editors or gameplay editors in general, I really like FGW from InfProd. He has been doing his thing ever since I saw his first clip - yet he never disappoints. Quality stuff indeed.

Where can readers view your films  and graphic designs and learn more about you?
My YouTube, my facebook or my flickr.

http://www.facebook.com/koopzable
http://www.flickr.com/photos/oliverthorsen



Editing softwares?
Sony vegas pro 7, adobe after effects cs5.5, adobe illustrator cs5.5, adobe photoshop, FL studio 9, adobe photoshop cs2(oldschool, actually its the exact same copy as I started with - 4 years ago), Autodesk Lustre & Maxon Cinema4D



Favorite music genre?
Dubstep, the garage way. No wobbly bass that makes your brain cells shatter, nice and chillful tunes.




What are your further plans?
Business school/gymnasium, international film school and then we'll see whats going to turn out.

Will you edit other gaming movies in future like BF3, COD etc?
Might do, haven't planned anything.

Is movie making  and graphic designing your primary source of income?
It's my only income.

What do you like more 2D or 3D?
2D, vintage style.

You have won many competitions in movie making, you may have many haters as well, what would you like to say to them?
Make love and the world will follow.

What motivates you the most?
The ability to visualize thoughts and inner pieces of yourself that normally wouldn't be shown to other people.

Who would you like to credit for all your success?
My mum, my stepdad, my many friends and every single piece of inspiration I've got.


Do check out his channel and his facebook page. Thank you koopz for the webterview.
