Bits and stuff

It has been over a week since I last posted. I have been so good, too. A lot has happened in my personal life to delay the video and posting. After several bullshit things that happened at my part time temp job I quit. I told the temp agency I wanted to move on and they asked me for 10 days. So I have been scrambling to try and see if I can get myself a permanent position to replace that income. Hopefully the temp agency will find me something else, but I am not going to count on it. I am currently in a part time contract with a non profit, which does not pay enough to stand alone but necessitates replacement job also be part time. I have several plans in the works, so we shall see what shakes out at the end.

And....today is my birthday. Which puts me one more year over 35 and another year closer to 40. Today I am going to watch Groundhog Day, laze in bed, go do my non profit contract job for a few hours then wallow in cake with friends at a local dessert shop. I used to love birthdays, but as I get older I realize the things I wanted to do with my life most likely aren't going to happen. Every new birthday that passes becomes a reminder of what I will never be. Maybe this year I will change that and celebrate what I might possibly do. Or not.

Tomorrow I don't work anywhere, so I plan on working on video again. This part is the second and third sentence. I have a new scene for about every other sentence. As it changes subject quickly, that makes it about right for 4 to 5 second scenes. The sentence is "Early attempts were dogged by hardware problems. The hardware was rock based, which meant that it was heavy, cumbersome and above all very hard." Remember the title of the audio is Getting The Book Invented Properly. I have made a rocky background so it will look like they are in a cave. I have made a grey table and found several flatt-ish rocks for them to carry in and get buried under. Getting this to work properly shall be a challenge but one I am up for.

Tomorrow.

Now...Groundhog day. :) Happy bloody birthday to me.

Well, maybe....

He announced today that he wants people to animate some of his standup and post it to his YouTube page. The best 10 will be played at his live shows on July 16th and July 20th. I have decided to make a stab at it. Even if I don't get anything worth posting, it is a good practice project. I have chosen to do the Cake or Death sketch. Mainly because I think that one would be the easiest to do with the stuff I already have.

Why yes, I do have a bit of project ADD, why do you ask? :P

So my plan is to plot it all out today and gather sets, guys and props, and then tomorrow spend the day shooting it. Then Thursday will be spent trying to get it all together and hopefully I will have something postable by Friday.

So....i need a plan, and I think I will work it out here, just because I know no one will read this and it will make me think a bit.

Ok....so the whole sketch is 1 minute 50 seconds long. At 24 FPS and 2 frames per picture, that is 12 pictures per second, so total I will need 1080 pictures.  Not too hard to do. And some can be reused.

The man who asks Cake or Death? will be played by Mr. Zombie, and the assorted little soldiers and monsters will play the inquisitees and the assistants handing out the cake. Maybe I should have one holding a sword, and he eagerly tries to hand it over even if the guy says Cake. That would be cool.  He should get really dejected looking when the one that said death first gets to change his mind.

Sets should consist of a floor, and a backdrop. I think I will just make a generic one color background to use. Or maybe I will make a brick or stone looking backdrop.

No furniture. Will need cake and plates. And a rack. At the beginning he talks about someone getting tortured. A rack or something torturous.

Ok...on to the next planning stage. Hehe! :P
