Times are strange. Maybe you should have some emergency supplies in your home. What’s the harm in that?
Here. It’s all better.
We present to you another animation made with photos.
I’m gonna have to start recording some music to accompany these.
I wish I still had my Korg.

Hi Everybody!
I sure hope you enjoyed the Tea Party video. (below)
Those folks can really make their point! God love ‘em.
Here’s something that REALLY makes sense . . . our first animation.
TA DAAA!

Here’s the first episode of ‘Julia’s Craft Class’. She shows you how to make a simple stuffed animal. We hope you try it yourself.

I finally got my computer somewhat back to normal today. It was not an easy task to edit this video, kinda did it blind.
I think it’s time for a new one. . . donations anyone?
This is a few weeks old, but I just want to post it anyway.
Julia and I went to our first Daddy Daughter Dance. Here’s the official photo.
Julia and Dad. February, 2010
A Chinese acrobatic interpretation of Swan Lake. A very amazing performance. I’ve had many friends who are professional dancers of all kinds, ballet, jazz, modern, you name it. They would all say that this is impossible, and I would agree. These wacky Chinese pull it off. They scare me.
And a couple more things tonight…
Anyone from Northeast Ohio will remember ‘The Sons of Elvis’. They were a great band that Dink shared many a gig with. Well, Dave Hill was in that band. He’s an old pal. Now he’s working at being a comedian-performer-tvstar-something. He’s really funny. I like his attitude and wish him the best. Subscribe to his YouTube channel and give him the dickens. He would want it that way.

Don’t believe what you see.
I’m really beginning to think the Nishika is a pretty crappy camera. I’m digging out the Nimslo. For real.
Anyway, here’s another animation. This is Kaya .
Kaya in 3D. . . kinda.
The 3D camera takes 4 images simultaneously, each image uses half of a standard frame, so when some junky place like Walgreen’s prints the photos incredibly terribly, it is difficult to crop and place the images on top of each other to make the animation. Walgreens then cut my negatives (which they were instructed not to do at all) through the middle of the images. Grrrrrrr..
So, last week during one of my thrift store runs (that’s where I get pretty much all of the materials that I use to make stuff), I found a Nishika N8000 for 4 bucks. It is a 4 lens 3D camera. I have another 4 lens camera, it’s a Nimslo. When I got the Nimslo about 15 years ago, there was nowhere to get the 3D prints made. You know, the lenticular prints that have the ribbed plastic film on top of them. Like a dinosaur ruler for kids. . . After I found the Nishika, I googled it and found out that there IS a place that makes the prints. It’s in Toronto. I’ll be sending them some film. In the meantime, I shot a roll on the new one and had it printed at Walgreens (they screwed it up BAD) but I scanned the prints and assembled them into this simple little animation. Enjoy. More coming soon.
