Good afternoon everybody, I hope you're doing great. It's been a week since the last project. I've taken a few days off to recharged the mental batteries. I'm now cruising around the edges of the next project.
I took the time to get some much needed jobs done in real life. A fence needed s...

It's that end of the week update on the pre-production work. Good news and bad news.
The bad news is I came down with a common cold on Tuesday. Probably caught at a family lunch on Sunday. Meaning it feels like someone has been running a marching band through my sinuses.

With Halo bullshittery out the door, I'm going to take a few days to chill. Also there's a whole bunch of IRL chores I've been putting off. Plumbers, electrician repairs, etc. I really need to get some things organised.

Good morning all. Super brief update on Halo bullshittery.
It's currently the 4th week (of a planned 4) on the edit. And the video as a whole has cleared the phase 1 of keyframing. Meaning all 10 minutes have been animated in Adobe After Effects, both last week and the week before.
