It's the beginning-of-the-semester crunch. I did spend some time updating my other blog, however. You can see it at www.boopbeep.com.
I've been reading the fantastic DV Rebel's Guide by Stu Maschwitz of the vfx house The Orphanage. This is the guy who wrote Magic Bullet software. He has a great cheap hardware/software aesthetic. Tons of useful stuff on After Effects, guerilla shooting and cheap visual effects. A lot of the book talks about making The Last Birthday Card, a kind of sucky film that you can see on ifilm.com. Still, though, it's a no-brainer for undergrads and a half-brainer for grads.
Been viewing the Norm MacLaren box set. Disc 5 is the one you want. This disc features MacLaren's great principles of animation films. The theme of this disc is audio and you get to see and hear MacLaren's experiments creating audio by manipulating film.
