Anyway so here is a crappy temp placeholder. When I get a bit of time. I'll bang up a proper job.

New Website
Last month I let my website expire. As I am now a subscriber to Adobe Creative Cloud I figured why not use the web tools that they provide. Might as well, I am paying for it.

Not all Stop Motion
This film will be employing both "Practical Effects" and CGI FX, this is a test I did a while back for a demolition FX. I was testing out a Maya plugin called Fracture-FX. I liked the plugin a lot, so I shall be purchasing a licence in the near future.
Update coming soon
Even though there hasn't been much activity on this blog, I have been busy. I will posts some updates very soon. Starting with my collection of figures and props. I have acquired a large number of items over the last year and feel like we are getting close to going into productions.

Audio Recording
So, if anyone out there way wondering where I have been for the last few weeks, I have been involved in a project. Not my own but a paying gig for a client. It happens from time to time. Unavoidable. It is these little projects that pop up that help fund my Stop motion film. Any way, for this video I needed to record a voice over, and seeing as I am on a budget these days, I decided not to splash out on a Recording studio. I did it DIY style, in my living room. I made some sound damping barriers, and invested in a descent mic and plug into my laptop, and Bobs your Uncle. The sound quality was better than I expected. I love technology, it is making my life easier.
Luckily for me, there is a Shakespeare festival here in my little town. So I didn't have to look to far to find a professional voice talent.
By the way, this relates to this blog. Audio is a big part of animation, and now this little gig just paid for the right gear for me to record all my voice characters. As a self produced film, I need to avoid booking studios as it will eat up any money I have put a side really fast. Now I have a mini recording studio here in my home studio.
Down the road a bit, I'll post some behind the scenes material when I start to record the characters voices.
