Props!

So, it's been a very long time since I've posted. When I created the blog I thought that maybe I'd post the whole way through, about how I animated and everything. But that seemed weird for some reason. I don't know what to say about actually animating other than techniques that one would learn in any animation class; slow in, slow out, arcs, expression, all dat.

So here are some props I've made. I'm really happy with the tombstone, it's cool. I'm very nearly done, after today I'll only have 3 shots left to animate. I need to build quite a bit for them still, but that's totally awesome!

Television set. Made from posterboard, balsa wood, paint, christmas lights, 9volt, paper clips

Gravestone made from balsa wood, gray wash paint

This is for a close up shot of my head, the brain looked cooler before it was all mushed together.
It's a fucking pillow. What do you want?!?

As, I've told some people, I'm shooting the film in my apartment. That's my bed underneath my table. I have the push it up against the wall when I want to animate. I like it because it'll be a great thing to reminisce about when I'm older.

So, I can do a post about the actual animation, it'll be a while though. Would anyone be interested in that? (Really, I'm just curious to see if anyone I don't know has actually read this, that'd be cool.)
