check out Emmanuelle.Walker, Manuel Tanontchi, and anyone else they happen to link to. Let me know what you all think because I am highly inspired. You should see much more out of me very shortly.
Happy Music for your Happy New Year! some fantastic music by a guy from the UK, some of the nicest stuff I have heard in years: you can check out some free tracks on the label’s site:
also check the bottom of the list for more categories, and hey if you know one that isn’t on the list, or is in red, add to it, that is how wikipedia works, or how it should work.
warm up project for Senior Year at KCAI. my first return to backlit sand animation since Sophomore year. There are many things I would like to tidy up, as well as a few more layers I would like to add, but it was a fantastic project. Spent right around 24 hours for this one once I started animating.
This version is at 24 frames per second so there are a few oddities, some jittering and things, but I kind of like it, it maybe works a little better at 12fps though as most stop motion does, so I may upload that one as well.
This was also my first test with Dragon Stop Motion, a fantastic bit of software developed by Jamie and Dyami Caliri. Jamie is probably most well-known for his United Airlines paper cut-out stop motion commercials. This is without a doubt the best stop motion software out there, I highly recommend everyone check it out. I am planning on testing it as a pencil test system very soon as well.
The music is “Snow Tip Cap Mountain” by The Octopus Project, from their album, Hello Avalanche:
andoruhake.blogspot.com no longer exists in this world… it will be missed.
but with death comes life! is born!
it took be awhile to find something that wasn’t already out there, but this is simple enough. now lets see if anyone can even find it now. the new site is hosted through DreamHost.com, for about $10 a year for the hosting and domain, end of the year special, definitely a great deal and good service, recommended. Basically if you can’t afford the $20/month or so from MediaTemple.com, DreamHost is the way to go I think.
www.thefauxmosapiencollective.com anyone? let me know if you guys want to buy a doman, it is about $10/year, as I most likely have more than enough hosting space to go around. it would great to get the fauxmo setup with a wordpress blog, rather than such a huge amount of blogspots. as you can easily setup multiple static “Pages” so you don’t have to deal with so many blogs.
