Finally!

Worked for hours on Friday on what will be my last greenscreen project for a while. When I went to post it on 12seconds.tv, their uploader was down. Kind of frustrating since the topic was focused on where my head was at that day. Anyway, it looks like the uploader is working so we'll see if I can get my latest work to "take".

I was going to tear down the greenscreen yesterday but didn't. I don't know what's stopping me!

Creative Block?

I'm stuck! I can't seem to be able to get the creative juices flowing. I've got an idea for a new 12 second film but, it won't come out of my head. I'm going to forget about it for now and see if that helps. Kind of frustrating....

Anyway, have a nice Memorial Day!

Stop Motion

Spent the weekend completely thoughtless. It was wonderful. Yesterday I struggled to come up with a new idea for a 12 Second Movie. I decided not to stress. This morning, for some unknown reason I got the idea to try playing with stop motion. I've always liked stop motion and really enjoy Robot Chicken. I figured it would be way outside of the time frame I like to devote to these little projects but, what the hell. I had nothing else to do!

I downloaded a software application called Stop Motion Pro v6.5. Simple enough to figure out for the purposes of my testing. I ran up to the local art supply place and picked up a couple of wooden models that I could pose and some black poster board. For subject matter, I decided to use something I know, Krav Maga. I played out a simple defense for choke from the rear. I didn't want to get too detailed till I got a feel for what it was going to take to have it look remotely decent.

I just loaded to first test to 12 Seconds of Caracappa. Please leave comments and let me know what you think!!
