Sorry, it's been a while since we've updated but man...things have been hectic! Outside of caring for dogs, Ryan and I work on a variety of art-related projects.
Our most recent endeavour had us working on an animation for a music video. This may sound simple enough, but involes a TON of work before the cameras even begin to roll. Lucky for us we've had some help along the way.
One of the main elements had us constructing a miniature theater which was to be the set and stage for our main character.
Nigel's been down to help since day one.
Here's the base of the stage back in April. Foreman Nigel is there to ensure our work is done right.
After the base, Ryan started to lay the hardwood.
Not one to sleep on the job, our foreman was never too far.
(note the sleeping bag under the table).
After some heavy duty construction work ( can you spot Nigel ),
some help from our friends (lola!)
a coat or two of ochre,
and some finishing touches,
You get an awesome set and you're ready to shoot!
oh, and 7 twelve hour days STRAIGHT of stop motion animation later....
IT's A WRAP!!
And you know what else?
We're really gonna miss you NIgel. Have fun in LONDON!!!
BYE!!!!!
