Tonight I continued to put my set pieces back together and started shooting test photos to check alignment and spacing between the background, the stage, and the camera.

New Studio Setup
I’m hoping to get back into production on the Vitruvius film in April. I’ve started to re-build my sets in my new studio. The following picture captures my carts and stages better than previous photos.

Community: Stopmotion Animators Meet Up
Looks like some casual meetings took place on April 1, 2007 on both sides of the country.
Here on the east coast, I was invited over to Takuro Masuda’s studio where he is filming his stop motion project for the Center for Puppetry Arts Experimental Puppetry Theater. His project involves Native American mythology and looks to be superb. Takuro is an Atlanta animator and one of his films titled “Room 101” is viewable on YouTube.
Brett Thompson, was also there. Brett was interviewed and had his Flash animations shown on a cable show last night. I missed that but hope to see a copy sometime. We all talked about stopmo walk cycles, video assist, set design and other stuff.
Out on the west coast Michael Granberry met up with Justin Rasch and Shel Wagner-Rasch from Stop Motion Mission where they chatted about stopmo and ate Indian food. You can’t go wrong with that combo.

Objects at Rest … Dot Com
My new web address www.objectsatrest.com is now official. I was able to acquire the “dot com” version of the domain name.
The former address www.objectsatrest.org should still work and redirect to the .com site but you may want to update any links or bookmarks that you may have.
The former owner of the domain now has a new web address located at Pyile.com.
