They’re Published

Well, actually, they were already published. If you count self-publishing and a paragraph in another book. But, this is a whole article written by Melinda the Martian of They’re Using Tools! Ironically, I think I already disagree with some of the stuff I wrote. But, ideas on animation change all the time. The main thing is to stay super, super organized and name EVERYTHING distinctly. Yeah, that’s the important stuff. I wrote this back in December or November. Which means I was either buried in work or sick. Or both! Was my sick time in December magical? Maybe. Good things seem to have come from it.

Maybe this means they’ll pick up my articles and publish them!!! Click the picture to read the full article on noupe:

They Have Some Test Footage

Shot without a tripod–sorry about that. New Canon 7D camera shoots 1080p video. Looks pretty good for shaky, non-color corrected video. Hopefully will be using this camera on a new self directed project soon and getting to put it through its paces!

They Fixed it Up

Video Interview with D&D Creative Manager Chris Perkins just went live at Critical-Hits.com. Fixed a few small problems. The very prominent green soda can being the greatest of the problems. Since this is for the web, reframing and cropping can be exploited. The can never moves, so a small adjust mask also helps make the can less prominent. With more time, I could have possibly moved Nicholas and Chris a little close to each other!
