Greg and I have officially launched Studio 567 by going on the roof and making this quick light painting test.  I believe we are going to tackle a lip-synch for our first challenge…stay tuned to see if I make good on that promise!

A test .gif I made while I wait for the producers’ green light for a different project.  This action isn’t in the short, but it never hurts to practice!

“Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”

I have used TVPaint since 2004…but sometimes an old dog has to learn new tricks (or in this case add new tricks) because her students use totally different programs than she does and in an educational environment this just does not fly. Hence, this Toon Boom “Evaluation Software” dancing bear!

We had no idea what this guy was singing, but boy was he happy to be singing it.

I wonder if she got the double stroller because she had two mannequins, or two mannequins because she had a double stroller…
