Um, well, I do have a spiffy new header image, as you can see. And it's primarily black. And I'm going "back" to filming. I had quite a time trying to make it look right, since when you click "place image instead of title" it didn't center it right, but obviously I couldn't do the other option, "place image behind title" since the title would be in front of it and look stupid. Since you have to have a title of the blog, I ended up changing its name to "_" and the font color to black to hide the title in the image. Then I had to go in and edit the actual HTML of the page and add title tags so the page wouldn't appear as "_" in the browser.
Anyway, I was able to purchase the full version of iStopMotion with the noise reduction that I need as an "end of school present" from my parents for $99. Eek. Oh well, I know it's the best option since basically every other frame capture program is either stupid or for Windows, which is kind of the same thing, if you know what I mean.
Tonight I started filming again! Yay! I got a 2.8-second shot done of That Darn Smoker reading his "false" ID card. Little does he know... So that was good, getting familiar with all of the camera settings and all that again. The new version of iStopMotion is really nice, except it captures frames a lot slower than the old one. Oh well; I guess it's the price to pay for expensive equipment – literally. So now I will continue along with my filming where I left off last summer, which means starting to film the first flashback scene, where things start to get interesting. I suppose I'll be updating the blogaroo pretty regularly this summer to update everyone on filming progress, and because I like making myself seem popular.
