VIDEO BLOG EPISODE #3 HALLOWEEN 2013

This was done on Halloween 2013 with my new Mike Boise (Sparky) figure. I was very tired when I did this, as we had been handing out candy for about 2 hours. The resception was good and pretty much in line with what I expected. A few scared kids ... one or two aggressive and one little s#*! . The one thing I didn't expect was that the Velcro I wanted to use to place Max's hands on the candy bowl tore off the paint. I went and got paint to do the repair and Max should be right as rain soon. I already have plans for next year. Possibly building a dedicated puppet. I had hoped to use make a Jack O' Lantern but missed out on the fake pumpkins this year ... will have to work this into the budget.

New Bumper for Vlog Vids!!!

Okay ... So I know I should just KISS. You know Keep It Simple, Stupid!!! But my wife would be the first to point it out that, that isn't my style. Hey just pointing a camera and shooting  is not how you get better. Besides I'm trying to learn 3 new video projects. Each stretch is a little more knowlege I lean. Even if it's not to do that anymore. My next project is to do name plates inspired by LAInk. Just for a giggle. Oh yeah ... I'm thinking episode titles will be done with a "J" cut. Just thinking.

There's A New Chicken In Town

Here after a long abscence is the latest Cluck Cluck video. New front titles and a new chicken. My old one was deteriating due to being stored in a heated area before I bought her used on eBay.

I am curently working on giving the old girl a make over and getting closer to my origional vision. A step in the right direction.

I mean catch up ...

Yet again

I have fallen behind on posting ... once again. I am writing this during my lunch break ... using my tablet. This means one finger tapping in the cyber keyboard. Click ... click ....... click. Very slow go. And then there is the joy of the android version of blogger. Quirky would be polite. Almost impossible to post a picture ... make edits or anything much more than posting text. I will be going back and editing later on. Still a way to keep up to date.

I hope also to add video editions as another means of posting. Not that this will be any more efficient than the written form. Still it seems that it will offer the possibility of additional practise. And that would be a good thing ... one way or the other.

Still ... it's not an excuse ... or a very good one ... at least ... but I have been dealing with cataracts. The operation is done for both eyes. I was neither a good candidate or had the money to get the upgrade lens and the substicant surgery, as it made little sense. I was told I would, in all possibility have to wear glasses despite whatever was done. So now I am dealing with my healing eyes ... healing  ... and with each day moving further away from my current prescription and deeper into a state of blur. Hopefully things will right themselves when I can get my new specks ...in little more than 3 or 4 weeks in the least.

It has seemed an eternaty.

Happy, happy ... joy, joy !!!
