William swung his sword around, hitting a large stone three times. then shocked to find out it's a traveling stone he hit. He's stunned, to find he's now in ElderWoods forest, and his wooden sword has now morphed into a talking metal sword. This clip is small.

Hi everyone, first this is a replacementt clip,from the clip (Grim are you hungry) as robcat Suggestion..." the characters with dark forms like the witch and cat need something not so dark behind them so we can see what they are doing. They are fading into the background too much here." Thank you again robcat, for your very helpful suggestion. i have shown both clips, one to be fixed, and one where I attemptedd to fix it. I"m still working on Rodney suggestion of " a layer of (mostly transparent) cloud-like matter (noise/atmospherics?) overlaid on top of this sequence as that would really sell the effect of these characters moving through actual space/flying th…

Hi I just got a new laptop, first time ever. I always had a desktop. This has been a challenge with windows7 installing old software, that's not compatible with win 7 and contacting software . The speakers are still a mystery to me, so if the sound in this clip is off, that's why . Anyway i have gone forward, skipped a couple of clips, because i'm still working on them. Even the colors seem a bit different . Thanks for watching, your thought's are welcome

The story I'm using is from a book I wrote and illustrated. Even though I had the beginning, middle, and end, the in-betweens were the hardest. I must say, for everything I've rendered, that much again was thrown out. I began with Anzovin's The Setup machine, the 2001 Skeleton rig, then finially the Fitzgerald Cog rig. My first model was Witch Lena. The movie starts with greedy Witch Lena wanting to take Elderwood forest for herself. Opposing her is Wizard Galvin. Elf Trell happened to be there, pulled his sword, angering Witch Lena. She turned the elf into a wooden sword. Lena then threw him beyond the realm of Elderwood Forest.

My first elven models for Elderwood Forest, were my attempt at making dolls, not very good at doll standards, but I had fun. So I thought I'd share, because it was where my movie really started. the sculpy fairies have evolved from babies to grown ups fairies.

In the pictures on the wall, is a cool cat named Winter, and one of my models, he has since passed on, but his sprit lives on in character named Grim, but that comes later. The rest are grandsons and my son who is a Navy Seal. They all lent their voices for this latest project. The Sword has landed by providence,or magic, as the witch's evil fades, so does the green color, leaving a ordinary wooden sword. Williams came to the attic looking for his ball, and discovers the sword.

This segment belongs near the beginning, right after the wizard banishes witch Lena. . In the scene, where the wizard is writing on the book, it did not turn out as I hoped. I remember a tutorial a few years back where they were writing with sprites, but don't remember it being in color. if anyone knows how to do the writing on the book , I hope they'll will share.

This character is Mac Flin the leprechaun, played by one of my grandsons, he was 11 when he recorded most of Mac Flin's parts, but there have been a few times when I snagged him for a new line. it made it difficult because his voice had started to change, He's now in high school and a aspiring actor. comments welcome
