It's a Wrap!

t's over. Filming for my Hamlet stop-motion animation is now complete. It was quite intense, since I only had use of the drama students for an hour yesterday morning.

The lighting in the TV studio had changed completely since I was last in, which took me by surprise, and the set-up I inherited was quite dark at the front despite the addition of a floor lamp. Matt helped me again, and Nick took over image capture from the second camera. That left me free to direct the action, which was just as well since the masks I'd made were too thick to have eye holes, so the drama students had to move blindly. I filmed a few extra shots which I'll need to edit in, then make the DVD case cover sheet.

I can't tell yet whether or not I'll like the end result. If I do, I'll post it on the web.
