DAY 17: Taking a small break

I didn't film today, but at least this time it was planned. I started building the set for Scene 3 - the smoker jail. It's turning out quite well and hopefully the lighting for the real thing won't be too dark. I saw Smeagol's new "An Ill-Made Weapon" and saw how ungrainy his camera was, which made me wonder if people are going to notice the graininess in the dark scenes with my Quickcam. Well, now that I've said it I'm sure everyone will. Great. Anyway, the MoB Contest isn't about the best picture quality or animation, so that's what I'm trying to keep in mind.

Anyway, the set is shaping up quite well, but I figured out that I need about 24 of those little black fence deals to make a realistic jail "front" where the door would be. Obviously with lack of pieces, I don't have 24 of those, so I found a place on Bricklink called Texas Brick House that had a large lot of fence pieces and the security guard torso that I need for the Jail Guard, so I ordered those for $11.17 today. I can't start filming until the set is done, obviously, so I'm going to have to find something to do over the next few days that won't get me behind on my schedule too much. If the guy's in Texas it hopefully won't take too long to ship.
