Slow Progress

So I started filming like two weeks ago, but have had a ton of problems!! grrrr
I have had a horrible time with my camera and imovie - imovie HD does not support my camera and imovie 8 sucks. I won’t go into all the details, cause that would take a while lol, but believe me, its been a pain. I think I have finally come up with a method for editing though *fingers crossed*

On top of my editing crisis, I realized after filming a bit of my work, that the table I was using shook like crazy! I never noticed it before since I move alot when painting/drawing, but the camera sure shows it! The footage will totally make you feel sea sick lol. Soooooo, we decided to take a trip to Ikea in Houston and picked up a new table.

Voila!

I am happy that I didnt do a ton of filming before I realized the shaking, but most of the outlining process will be edited out - oh well!

I have not done a ton of painting, even after getting the table - this is all ive done so far

not much eh? I am really happy with it so far though *pats herself on her back* hehe
I am still getting used to having a camera beside me while I paint - I keep on checking to see if I am blocking the view with my hands or head lol. I usually keep my face really close to my work, but I am learning to sit farther back.

I hope to get this part done this week, and then start on the second part next week - with the video up shortly after that.

I will keep ya’ll posted with my (slow) progress!

We are going to see Wall-E tonight, at the midnight showing - sooooo super duper excited!! It is going to be excellent, i know it :D

Have a happy Thursday everyone!
