Since getting my animation program, I think I’ve discovered I’m a latent movie director. Yeah, I already knew I could visualize things–when I write novels, I “see” them in my head as a giant movie and then just write what I see. But now that I have the ability to actually put artwork in an animation…well, let’s just say that Spielberg isn’t in any danger of losing work to me, but I think The Outlaw would be a cool movie. The only drawback is that because I’m still doing all the prep work, it’s taken me roughly six hours to do an 11 second clip containing two shots. (The good news is that I’m building virtual sets and characters, so in the future I can just drop ‘em in when I need ‘em and it won’t take nearly as long.)
Oh well. Next I’ll need to get the audio software so I can get some good sound effects and music in place….
