Regular readers will be aware that I'm in Make Some Videos Mode at present. (for a list of the current video clips ideas see this article)

 

Each week, I try another idea, smile when things go wrong and try again.

 

Last week I tried to get a quick shoot done for Running Jody from Carl's chair. Fail.

 

I'll try again this week. If the weather is OK and if I can find the right person, if the steadicam works, if the bike works, if Dions got time, if...

 

That's the lesson here. try, fail, try something else, fail and smile. Every now and again you win :-) I think Edison said 'Fail early and often'

   

After my trip to VIVID this year I was kind of inspired by the animations on the MCA and wanted to try and do something in the same vein for 'Hard Times' from the new album

 

 

but thankfully, I have learned the occasional thing about my abilities over the last few videos, for example, animation is hard.

 

It's hard, time consuming and, um, err, hard.

 

Did I mention hard? 

 

So I decided to go ask for some help via one of the websites where you can post art jobs for hire and we'll see ho we go. I don't think I have the budget to do quite the same level of work that VIVID displayed, but just like Aperture Science, we do what me must because we can :-) I'll post my results as we start working on it.

 

Will online collaboration with an animator work? Will it all go up in flames? Stay tuned for randomness via the web.

 

Meanwhile, I am still trying to find a jogger for running jody, a location for Hollow Tree and trying to come up with some other ideas for the other songs on the album. the more ideas we have, the greater the likelihood that we'll be able to get one of them done.
