Collaboration with Corel Corporation

Well, it had been in the making for many weeks and finally went live on Wednesday, 27th January 2010. Towards the end of last year I was contacted by a senior bod at Corel Corporation, fellow photographer and filmmaker, Tobie Openshaw. He was interested in the Flying Space Hoppers short film I made. He wanted to investigate the possibility of using the component images to design a tutorial on stop-motion animation for Corel customers. After conversing via Facebook and email we did a deal.

This is what they came up with at Corel;


Here is my updated original;


This is the full transcript of the tutorial they prepared. The link opens a new page.

I'd be interested to read your opinions of the project. Should you be interested in doing something similar, do read the tutorial and perhaps consider getting the software. I will install Windows on my Mac and give the software a try myself. You get enormous professional level capability for the price.

Thanks for visiting. Please return.

Flying Space Hoppers

So much catching up to do. We have a lot of material to post from our summer shenanigans. Let's start with the Flying Space Hoppers.

TURN UP THE VOLUME!

SEED DISPERSION

This from my Sydenham blog...

My son, Eoin helping the dandelions disperse their seeds while walking home from school yesterday, May 14th.

I heard on the BBC this morning that these lovely, characterful flowers, or weeds as some regard them, are more abundant than ever this year given our lovely warm, wet spring.

SYDENHAM BLIZZARD 2009

The blizzard of 2009 in Sydenham, London SE26.
Shot entirely on a tiny Flip Mino. The boys were the priority so I didn't bother with my small fig rig stabilizer or additional audio. Kept it simple.

When I upgrade to iMovie09 I'll do a little stabilizing and re-cut it.
