Where I spend way too much time procrastinating on the interwebs.

So I was taking a break from scriptwriting and I found this little beauty:
Picture
AAA! I SO need this, or something similar. It also comes with an arm to hold a camera instead of an iPhone. $700. Ouch. But if I replaced the bottom pad with a metal one for anchoring and the iPhone arm for one that holds an actual camera it would TOTALLY help my animation efforts. I bet I could make something similar that would work. If I had money, tools, materials, etc. I throw my envy in this direction. One of my biggest problems is getting the damn camera to sit still. Of course, buying a camera that would allow me to trigger it remotely would also be tremendously helpful. Might as well throw that in as long as we are dreaming.

On another note, there are an alarmingly low number of podcasts out there talking about stop motion. By "alarmingly low" I mean none that I can find that have posted anything after December 2010. I have been looking for something like that to listen to while I am writing. No such luck. Lots of anime podcasts, several animation fan podcasts, a few animation mechanics/business podcasts, but none dedicated to stop motion. And most of those don't have any episodes where they are actually talking about stop motion. I realize this obsession of mine is a very narrow niche, but it can't be that narrow. I mean, there are many very popular stop mo movies out there. Shaun the Sheep's Facebook page has over a million followers. It is a difficult medium to work in, but there people out there doing it. Frankenweenie is about to come out, which is another Tim Burton stop mo. (Yes, I am excited.) I suppose I am not really bitching about it, just making a sad panda observation.

Ok, back to writing. I hope to have scripts finished by Monday and start blocking them out.

OH...and in case you haven't had a chance to, go see my latest video at the Douglas Adams Tribute video contest. You can vote for it by number of bookmarks under the video.

Now I am really back to writing. Until I get distracted again. :)
