Quick Update

O.k. - so, the next time I say that I want to create several movies combining live action and animation, somebody slap me and point me towards the geniuses at Pixar! I have pretty much decided at this point that if I am ever going to complete this project anywhere close to on time, I am going to have to rethink my instructional video strategy. I think that at this point I am going to take the work and technology I know from Flash animation and just use them. I have some material I can rework from a previous project (my Nick Beat character) that I can resurrect for these four lessons, and I think the result will be as effective, if not as technically proficient. I would like to follow up on the Chromakey work at a later time, I just think that I reached the point where I had to fish or cut bait, as it is said.

Other than this re-direction, the rest of the project is proceeding well, I just need to find the hours amid the California trips, concerts, and auditorium events (not to mention raising an 18 month old) to get it all done.
