Animation
I keep thinking that the end is in sight (not to be confused with the "end is nigh"... although sometimes it feels like that, too) but I realized that, as long as I'm taking my animation course, it still feels like I'm in the midst of production. So, as much as I'm enjoying the course, I will be relieved when it's finished next week and my schedule lightens up a bit. Then maybe I can get caught up on my life. (A grrl can dream, right?)
I'm quite pleased with the puppet that I made as part of my final project, although I still have to film her in stop motion animation (we'll see how much I like her after that!). My free-gift-with-purchase digital camera pretty much sucks (or maybe it's my still photography skills, which would be kind of ironic for a filmmaker, dontcha think?), but here's a photo of her:
I'm planning on incorporating this final animation project with "Echoes," the film that I said I wanted to finish by the end of February (and I'd like to mention that I DID finish the rough cut by the middle of February, I just want to take a little more time to clean it up and add this animation before I start showing it).
Well, my brain is on overload and I'm at a loss with how to wrap this post up (not normal for me). Although I did want to mention that I got my first grant!!! The project that I've been trying to get off the ground for the past year now has half of the funding required. I'm crossing my fingers that I get something from the other funder that I applied to so that I'm not living hand to mouth the way I have been while grant writing for the film. Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to do that. Or my spirit is willing. I'm just not sure my health could take another year like that. But I've got a couple of months before I find out, so I've decided to just move forward assuming that I'll get it. I realize that some people might caution me against such hopes but, as far as I'm concerned, this film is getting made one way or another so I might as well just keep on working on it with that goal in mind.
