Building Sets!

One of the nice things about creating a stop motion movie is building the sets that the movie will take place in/on/with. It’s fun! It’s neat!

It’s a lot of work! But that’s okay. I’m currently working on building an archery field and a tournament grounds for the medieval story I’m shooting, and coming up with scenery is a neat challenge. It would be easier to just buy everything, but like everything else in life: money is super tight, and I already have a lot of LEGO, so the real goal is to come up with clever ways of using what I have, rather than doing brand new stuff.

It’s a nice challenge. It’s really interesting working within the limitations of the medium, rather than doing whatever I might want to do. And my vision is ambitious, but that’s just the way I am… I don’t do things half-assed. I only whole-ass stuff.

Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
