Teddy is DONE!
I’ll be fleshing out the site in the next couple of days with some behind the scenes thoughts, clips, lessons learned, et cetera…

Perhaps an update on the short film is in order. Still on the sound, but I got to experimenting with some shading on a shot or two and got a touch carried away, so now I’m trying it on a few others…
Current progress in the usual place.

Various tweaks… Replaced the title placeholder, did some work on the background smoke in the establishing shot outside, changed the framing, experimenting with widescreen, shot 030 still the bane of my existence – Will sit down and blast through that soon. Very soon.

Clearly, when I say weeks, I mean months. Between work and other things my short film has not progressed as much as I intended, but progress there is. I really need to sort out that third shot and there’s plenty to refine across the rest, but I’m getting somewhere. I re-worked the character being held [...]
