Well, the Stop Motion animation I was working on for class is finished… well, almost finished. I have a buddy doing music for it. But when he’s done, then it will be completely done. I’m really happy with how it turned out, and more importantly I learnt an awful lot from the process… like how much I like writing scripts and doing these sorts of silly things!
Future animated shorts will be… shorter… but I have to be more mindful of interstitials and transitions. This one had 4 or 5 that I had to do last-minute because I only realized I needed them after I had disassembled the set (which is also a useful thing to know. I set up everything so I could shoot everything on a set before changing it, but in the future I might just make multiple sets so I can go back and reshoot as needed).
Anyway, I’ll probably be posting the video to ye olde ‘Tube before too long, and I’ll put a link here when I do. It will make almost no sense to anyone who hasn’t read Motorcycles and Sweetgrass by Drew Hayden Taylor, but it might be interesting as a benchmark for my future work. Kinda like I still love the work I did with the Tintian series, but I would write them much differently (and better!) now.
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
