animation!

This week I finally began animating. My goal is to complete 7 shots per week, though I left several weeks for unforeseen errors in my production schedule. The first day of shooting went well, and in addition to figuring out the lighting and camera settings I animated 4 shots. The most fun part was seeing everything I've built come together under the camera to create a scene with a certain feel and mood. The least fun part was probably either dealing with all the logistics of negotiating a shooting space, or the time when I got a nasty splinter and my finger started dripping blood all over the place.
