Now you see it...Now you don't...

Have been rubbish at updating again recently. I have filmed 5 more seconds of usable footage since I last updated as well as a number of test shots trying to get movements, lighting and effects sorted.

The footage I have been working on is of the rocket that the Girl will be using to get around. I had to use lots of unsightly wire attached to my Mums cross stitch holding frame to lower the clay rocket down onto the set. I have then had to remove the wires from each individual frame in a photo editing software afterwards. This probably would have been quicker if I had more experience with photo editing, yet another learning process I have had to go through.

Anyway I am pretty pleased with the finished article and am now ready to move on to animate a close up of the rocket landing with dust being kicked up, which is proving quite difficult to make look good.

In the mean time I am editing and building on the hand drawn part of the video to make a little teaser that will hopefully be shown on Monday at the EP launch of Toy Train at West Street Live.
