I\u2019ve been jamming on the videos to go along with my book. I few weeks back I perfected the setup with the lighting and camera, and did a few tests to get up to speed. Now I have eighteen of twenty-two models in the can. Of course the four remaining include three of the hardest in the book. My publisher pointed out that I tend to pick the model up of the table sometimes, when executing complicated 3-D steps, and this makes it hard to see what\u2019s going on. So I may go back and shoot some extra footage to cover these spots. I\u2019m already shooting most models in several parts. I\u2019m thinking I might go ahead and edit together the parts with crossfades, and while I\u2019m at it tighten up the pacing, so I know it\u2019ll come out the way I like it. I\u2019d also like the improve the audio with some dynamic compression and a noise gate.<\/p>\n
My problem now is the only video editor I have is iMovie and Quickitme, both of which kind of suck. I used to have Premier and After Effects, but that was years ago, and I don\u2019t want to shell out thousands of bucks for a new video editor. I\u2019m wondering if there\u2019s a decent quality video editor out there for free, like Audacity is for audio. So far nothing has turned up.<\/p>\n
A fun side effect of doing this video is that Michelle has been watching me, as she likes to take an interest in most of my studio things. Now she\u2019s inspired to get back into origami, and has folded the Octopus and the Narhwal from my book. She wants to do one of my models for OBC this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
