A mini film festival, my film was screened and I missed it??? Oh Snap! Good thing I own my own copy so I didn't miss it. ;)<br /><br />You've been quite the influence on me Shelley, the email exchanges we had recently stirred up a bee hive in my brain and it hasn't calmed down yet... with any luck it never will calm down.

I think of you more as a stop motion, film, lighting, technology, camera, cinematography, rigging, armature, puppet building, performance scholar and educator. <br /><br />I love the art I've seen you do in stop motion and would totally consider you on the stop mo art planet with the girls. :)Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-47032465781905246402009-07-01T04:33:58.399-07:002009-07-01T04:33:58.399-07:00*Waves at Shelley*

When I tell people at work I do stopmotion, first it takes a few minutes of explaining before they even understand what I'm talking about.... they usually have that WTF look on their face all the while... and then they ask how much money I get doing it!! When I tell them I pay just about all the spare cash I have to do this, they think Im insane!!! <br /><br />And THEN... when I try to explain about how it gives me a mission... a purpose in life, and that's fulfilling in a way that just doing the 9 to 5 grind and going drinking every weekend isn't, they write me off as an idiot. And THEN... then they call what I do CLAYMATION.... all innocently of course, they just don't understand the difference... as if textured puppets like I make could be done in clay!! What are these people thinking??? Haven't they ever played with plasticene as kids? Do they think people actually sculpt complicated dinosaurs covered with scales in CLAY and then resculpt them where they get mashed every FRAME???? <br /><br />Ach... I gotta go lay down for a while....Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-78566190510821369792009-07-01T00:33:07.117-07:002009-07-01T00:33:07.117-07:00Now that I think about it, I have my closest frien...Now that I think about it, I have my closest friends online, even though I haven't met them in person as yet.Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-63166752132052092932009-07-01T00:26:50.280-07:002009-07-01T00:26:50.280-07:00I met originally online friend Mark Fullerton at t...I met originally online friend Mark Fullerton at the stop mo expo too, but he hasn't been here yet.

You'...RIGHT ON, JESSICA! (caps lock on whuups)<br /><br />You're completely right! It's beyond fantastic that we all can support each other emotionally.<br /><br />I was really thinking of you specifically, Yaz, when DJ and I found we were approaching stop motion as personal art vs. strictly entertainment or commercial product.<br /><br />It's an unusual approach, especially for our gender, to choose. I finally got it through to Paul that Halfland is a 4th dimensional "painting" and therefore something huge that must be done on my own.<br /><br />So that's at least three that I can think of that are on this stop motion art planet.Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-24751024789801722962009-06-29T01:11:20.406-07:002009-06-29T01:11:20.406-07:00Vaowwwww...

We discussed the difficulties of trying to explain to perhaps more practical people that our films are our art and don't require any measure of success to fulfill their purpose...

That's really important. I think it is the great thing that a lot of creatives are blogging... So we could get connected though we're living all over the world... I really enjoy this...Jessicahttp://einfachanimation.de/noreply@blogger.com
