Well from now on, this will be my main blog. Sort of a fresh start, but also a continuation. Probably makes no sense, or it probably does.
Yeah I've been confusing enough already, but this will be good fun. I like the title, and I know what I've gotta do. No, that doesn't mean grub down on another taco salad. I'll just be doing what I aim to do.
With that said... here are some updates.
Started doing sorta' early drafts of what my podcast could be. I'll do more little snippets and things, then figure out how I can get an episode out of 'em.
For drawing, well I'll create a new DeviantArt account as well (and I've GOT to finally make a sketchbook at conceptart.org). Also, as much as I'm not crazy for the Jack Hamm figure drawing book, I think it's what I should be going through.
For filmmaking, well I'm starting to treat the camcorder like a sketchbook. That basically means I'm recording whatever type of shots come to mind. When I have a good handful of some, I'll review the footage, write down ideas that come to mind as I look at the clips, and, from that, figure out what kind of shots I could use to juxtapose with what's recorded in order to get some kind of story, or scrap some footage. Keep doin' this until a sort of continuity forms, make whatever effects notes I may need (though I'm hoping to keep 'em to a minimum for now), and just wing it with what I record and how I record it.
Probably sounds a bit weird, but it'll be a fun approach. I'd say I'm on the right track. Just gotta keep improvising and learning, so it'll be pretty solid.
'till next time, keep your eyes on the donut... not the whole.
