Very Halflandish.<BR/><BR/>My only question would be how you're going to animate the puppet under the cello?G3T Filmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439482429191868151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-78939011610514269032008-04-28T12:37:00.000-07:002008-04-28T12:37:00.000-07:00@Jessica! Way cool! Can't wait to begin filming yo...@Jessica! Way cool! Can't wait to begin filming your scenes! Not only do I get the perfect actress in you but she comes with the perfect magical setting! (and her own camera man!) Yeehaw.<BR/><BR/>@Ben Thanks, Benjamin!<BR/><BR/>@Ryan! Thanks for digging it, Ryan. WHAT!? you are making Halfland a fish!!? No way! FANTASTIC!!!<BR/><BR/>@Mr. Nick Holy smokes, I'd LOVE to see you do this effect--so I could know what to do! The shore lip construction has begun--and it works--but It does look like viewing the water through a trough in the ground rather than gravity keeping the water in the bed more naturally. HOWEVER-- for the brief amount of time that the stream will be shown, I think the effect is sufficiently great.<BR/><BR/>Another option would be to use sheer fabric, with stitched rivulets, attached to the stream bed walls through tracks cut into the set. Hmm, m'bee.<BR/><BR/>About the animating--NOT A PROBLEM. It's only a few frames of cut away to the puppet swimming underneath the water and for those I can pull her from under the set via an attached stick or drag her along via a transparent cord. Maybe lifting the top layer to undulate her tail, crinkle the cello back down after each click, since all cello motion looks like water motion!

Yes! perfectly simple! <BR/>I feel a great urge to hijack your solution and try it myself, with this piece of the puzzle in place.<BR/><BR/>Still one difficult thing - reaching the puppet under the cellophane, to animate the undulating mermaid tail as she swims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-76175267276882987762008-04-26T19:54:00.000-07:002008-04-26T19:54:00.000-07:00Wow!

You're coming along so well!<BR/><BR/>In another few weeks it will be very pretty here in Pittsburgh - good filming weather. Thought I'd let you know. :) It's already quite pretty, actually, but I want to make sure the foliage is enough to overcome the layer of fall leaves that still covers the ground in the park.Elva Undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921498383279174180noreply@blogger.com
