Wednesday I headed down and signed the contracts for the artists fund. It's official! And just a little intimidating. I have until January 31, 2010, to have a completely finished .mov or beta sp tape submitted by 4:30pm. Storyboards are about 75% done, and character/set design are about 40%.
I should be finishing the vest in 1-2 more days, and will be making a sweater but with slightly larger needles (2mm) and only 1 strand of veragated yarn so it'll go much faster.
I can now order supplies, and start getting serious about this! Pictures and notes to follow!
I'll be working full time at my day job during this project, so it'll be a time crunch for sure! That said - I have a little unrelated animation planned to film tomorrow, as a fun celebration - hopefully find time for it and post it this weekend!
Do you need someone to do music for you again?
ReplyDeleteI was definitely hoping you'd be interested!
ReplyDeleteIf you're up for it I can send you the link to the Celtx file - I'd love to have you involved on this one!
Sounds good!
ReplyDeleteYay!! Now the fun part, shopping for art/building supplies!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll mail out those props and cds Monday now that i've got your address RIGHT.
Ooooh, exciting stuff!
ReplyDeleteThat tiny knitting looks amazing. I am in awe that you are going to try knitting with sewing thread! I think the smallest thing I've attempt to crochet with is perle yarn used for lace-making, and that sends me cross-eyed...
Yay! Thanks for letting the rest of us come along for the ride!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! I still haven't gotten your package out yet either so no worries :)
ReplyDeleteCeri - I think I'm going a little cross-eyed using the embroidery cotton as it is! I'm doing 3 strands at a time right now and for the gloves will probably do the 1 - scary to even think about!
And Mike - hope to keep it interesting to follow!
Goodluck ...well be here for support!

Refering to your last blog entry - when it comes to real small scales while working with miniatures: This guy broke through the sonic barrier a long time ago http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/microscopic.asp
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations too !
Oh wow - I'd love to know what tools he's using! Suddenly mine feel very big....
ReplyDeleteThanks Justin! The online support will be much needed I think by filming time!
Hi Emmyymme - I am working on a blog entry about Wilard Wigan, but can't link here useful links. Further, I don't want to spam.
ReplyDeleteI found a video, where he sculpts figures out of toothpicks with a scalpel...
And your miniature knitting is so beuatiful! Beautiful artwork, through all of your postings. And thanks for all that detailed documentation you keep alive here. I as a Newbie am profitting much form the more experienced.
Nice!! Good Luck on your project!! Waiting to see the pics of the sets a lot :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael - I'm enjoying the countdown to your site :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Aarvind - nice to see you here! I'm sure I'll over-document the set once it gets going - in the mean time I hope you'll send more of your photos, so beautiful!
