Half-Hitched

Behold, my latest creation. Actually, not quite the latest- I began animating this about a year ago with a DV camera my dad accidentally dumped paint on while painting the guest room. He gave it to me, I managed to unstick the ‘on’ toggle, and for fooling around purposes it worked just fine.

I shot scenes whenever I had time, and it wasn’t until I finally got around to editing it that I realized the true importance of continuity. I tried color timing to fix the glaring lighting jumps but as I’m no expert it worked about as well as getting plastic surgery to fix your last round of plastic surgery. Eh. Onward and upward.

Also part of the ‘onward and upward’; getting a damn microphone. Recording your own foley’s the way to go, and do you know how annoying it is slogging through sound effects sites? Their ‘Babbling Brook- Gentle Stream’ sounds like a cat gargling marbles, and 90% of the time it’s in a low-res format. Aaaagh.
