I’m at a Clay Animation training session sponsored by my employer.  I’ve done stop motion animation before, but not with Frames. I’m really liking Frames.  My previous animations have all been compiled in iMovie or (against my will) MovieMaker.  Those programs work, and are often pre-installed on computers, but Frames was designed specifically for stop-motion [...]

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is doing a fundraiser, and to kick it off they’ve released a short animated song to show just what they do. If you’re a long term follower of this blog then I don’t need to tell you the EFF is awesome. While as an artist I feel I should have the [...]

Chris Craft tells me I should register ipostwaytoomanypodcasts.com.  I think he’s right. Show Notes It’s time to start thinking outside the frame. This ‘cast is inspired by a recent video by Dave LaMorte. I know the painting in the background is more Impressionist than Postmodern.  Sue me. Read Bud the Teacher’s post about Cathy’s Book. [...]

Episode 136 already? It seems like I only started 135 episodes ago! Show Notes: I’ve got my first video comment! Thanks, Brian! (Now the rest of you should send in your own!) Tech is only scary ’til you try it. April is Donate Life Month! Are you an organ or tissue donor?
