So I think I mentioned a while back that I’ve started to dabble in some side creative projects.
That’s actually unfair: I am always doing other creative projects in addition to writing novels. I write some short stories (admittedly, not recently), I paint, I play guitar, I draw occasionally (again, something I haven’t done in years, but I love doing it)…
But with the availability of solid Stop Motion software on phones (and the power of modern cameras), I’ve started to dabble in a little stop motion animation. The one I’m doing currently (my first!) is for school… but although it is only halfway finished, I’m really quite proud of it. Writing scripts for audio format is something I’ve done for years (I’ve written and performed several audio stories), and adding visuals to that… well, it’s just lovely.
So! I think I’ll post that video up in a bit. It’s a little rough… the lighting is the big issue. I only have 2-point lighting at this point, and I really want/need 3-point to make everything clearer, and there are a few moments that the camera is making the image brighter or darker, but hopefully not a big flicker issue. I guess we’ll see once I stitch everything together!
At least something to look forward to, yeah? Yeah!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
