2 new animations - Copper House North Weekly Roundup

Published 11 months ago • 1 min read

24 years of enjoying this sugar maple in our back yard. I took this photo last Friday afternoon and today most of the leaves are piled around its base.

Hello!

This week I made 2 more stop-motion animations, where I tried a new technique with each one. No matter how many times I watch the pumpkin animation, I start dancing in my chair when the music starts. 😆

This is the most fun I've ever had with a camera. And possibly in all of my creative career. Here's a behind-the-scenes photo while capturing the pumpkin "spinning", one frame at a time.

The camera is tethered to my computer (out of the shot) so when a photo is taken, it gets immediately uploaded to the computer. A big timesaver!

Today I received a green screen so I can get more creative with video backgrounds. I've never used one before so this could get interesting! I promise not to start making videos on Mars, though.

I think.

Thanks for reading!

I almost didn't send this email - Copper House North Weekly Roundup

The Weekly Roundup, Ed. 92 Making art with paper. I recently bought stacks of paper in a rainbow of colors so I can create without limitation. Hello! I almost didn't send this email. It's Friday at 7 a.m. as I write and I normally write my newsletter on Thursday, at the latest. I didn't think I had much to share. But then I remembered that even though this paper snowman may not be "much", he might make you happy. Using paper as an art medium is certainly making me happy! The snowman is going...
