Airbrush & Instructions

Here's the airbrush that Amanda gave me. :D (Along with instructions!)

Can Light (Arrived)

Here's the light I ordered and the C-Clamp for hanging. YUS!

Last Minute Materials

Fishing wire ($2.50 @ WalMart)(For any rigging that may be needed and needs to be visible. I can't say that I'll be needing or using it, but I'd rather have it on hand). White glue ($1.00 a piece @ A.C. Moore)(For gluing any stacks of paper that need to be stationary). Modeling clay: Plasti-Clay ($1.00 @ A.C. Moore)(For girl's mouth, eyelids and eyebrows and the deer's eyelids and possibly eyebrows.) Foam brushes (.99 cents @ A.C. Moore)(For use with glue).

Animatic

I shot the damn thing again, but it wouldn't Export so I just filmed it with my digital camera as it played on my computer. Classy.

Expenditures to Date

It looks like I've spent about $1600.00 on stuff for my film. I still have a few more things to buy, like fishing wire and stuff for camera systems, but I just wanted to see what this has put me back.

Status Update: Gels

I just received an email from the company I bought the gels from. They appear to be on backorder so I have to wait an extra 10-14 days... I should have ordered them sooner... However, I thought I could get them at Ex Libris. I went there yesterday and they said that they had these sheets that work "like gels" but they're not really meant to withstand heat. However, they said that it hasn't been a problem in the past. So I went to look at their selection and they only had one blue left. So online I went. Anyway, it's not too bad. I can do other things for a while. It's just aggravating to still be waiting for supplies and such to come in.

Oh yes, and as for my animatic(s). I know I promised them over and over again. And I may have said it before, but I hate making them. This is not an excuse though, so I am putting my nose to the grindstone and getting something done. I did a lot of work last night on the drawn version and will scan it. As for the photographed version, I will be editing it today. *sigh* I swear it will get done. :(

Can Light & Gels

I bought a set of gels for my lights and a can light that I'm going to try and modify to make a spotlight by cutting a hole in a sheet of metal to create an aperture that will funnel the light.

Here's the light: with the clamp it was $35.95 @ activemusician.com

Here's the set of gels I got. There will be 24 of them and they were $24.95 @ adorama.com.
