So as the end of summer fades, it's time to get back into the swing of things.

There's been plenty to plan and think about, as well as I've been working on some spreadsheets to help get myself organised and motivated in preparation for my final year. Expect more recent updates now that I'm off again, but for now here's a little picture I did of myself that I'm pretty pleased with:

I have about 6/7 scenes left to film at the moment, but it's slow going as the room I'm filming in is pretty hot/humid with all this summer heat we're having. I have two fans going (carefully obviously, so as not to move any of the set!)

I think one of the biggest lessons I've learnt filming this is that Dragon (Stop-motion software) is amazing, and make such a huge difference. There'll be a couple of scenes which I didn't use Dragon for left in the final piece, as I don't think the difference is too noticeable. Well, hopefully not once the film grain effect is added.

I'm not expecting the film to be perfect, as it was all a huge learning exercise for me, but to see it complete will be a huge step for me, not to mention free up a lot of space and time for the long list of other projects I want to get cracking on this summer.
