Starting Point

Although I hate to admit that I have initiated too many of them before, I still have to announce it here. A new journey begins, lah lah lah lah....

This blog will serve as a production diary for my first short film production. Actually, for many more to come, who knows? I am planning to do a short film every year. I know it sounds a bit ambitious, but let us plan it this way first. We will see how things go. Oh, I was also thinking that I could publish my rig for my two little characters as free animation resources on the internet. But that is going to happen when the film is done, which assume to be happening soon, hopefully. Just for that reason, I have been learning about rigging, which is ......DIFFICULT.

Ok, enough bluffing. I will talk about my simple story ideas first. I came up with this little story one day after a nap. It didn't appear in my nap, but after. I was thinking about chopping a generic character into half right in the middle, so it becomes two separate pieces whereas both are still alive. Yes, simply put, they are upper body and lower body. Yeah!!!!! very exciting. I was imagining that the upper body (a ribcage with shoulders and arms) wants to combine with the lower body ( a pelvis and two legs). But the lower body does not want to do so. Hence, a fight is inevitable. In the end, the two combined to form a body and happily walk away. Another happy ending! Yeah!!!!

Ok, it is not so great. But I figured it is stupid and simple enough to become a short film. That is how this blog get started. Wish me luck.
