superNOVember - 5
by sven at 8:53 pm
SuperNOVember is a month-long event initiated by Shelley Noble. The challenge: take action on your art each day, blog about it daily.
Today's stopmo progress:
- I cleaned off my computer's desktop, which much improved the slowness problem
- downloaded last night's photo shoot and selected pics for the new storyboard
- created a "photo storyboard" for the Q&D project
It looks like I'm really close to doing some actual filming! It might be a good idea at this point to record a scratch track, and then let sound dictate pacing. If I do that, I may just use the mac's internal microphone, to keep the project moving along... But I am considering downloading the demo of Magpie, to help me match up beats and frames.
In life news: It looks like we managed to defeat the evil ballot measures and evil candidates in yesterday's election! Huzzah! Cause for celebration. :-D
Gretchin helped me take the Svan in to the auto shop for some transmission repairs (which won't cost an arm and a leg, happily)... After which, we ran some errands at Art Media and Office Max -- and then had a celebratory meal at McMenamin's.
Tomorrow the contractor comes over to give me an estimate for tearing out the closet in the studio. Yowza... A lot of significant "getting-business-done" stuff this week.

Shelley Noble Shelley Noble Shelley Noble. Blech, I'm tired of seeing her name everyday. Boring! (Sing song) It's going to get to be a long month. Howz about tagging these posts with just the celestial moniker? Wait here I get you a button... How about this?
Good work today, administrative work is important to do too, like making more room on the computer, as well as the more artistic things.
When you say the internal mic, do you mean a mic you bought and plugged in to your Mac? Or is there a mic I don't know about hiding in my computer right now?

Hey, you have a Mac! I wasn't sure, but since you just said you DO, a better solution than Magpie might be AnimAideXT, which I just found out about through LIO's blog. It's a framgrabber for the Mac that includes lip sync software! And it only costs $40, same as Framethief! And... this is kind of crazy.... it ALSO includes a voice synthesizer! Yes, you can have hours of fun typing out things to make it say in a wide range of computer voices!
At least try out he freebie download.
