Filming has BEGUN

Today I utilized my free time to start acquiring some footage. However, I did not start filming the actual scene previously discussed that would be used in the film opening. I started to film the stop motion portion of the film opening.

The process of getting these shots were a little more difficult than I had suspected. I had to go through the complexities of drawing a moon, handwriting every single letter in the production company name, and setting up my camera equipment so that the production company could be clearly seen. As I set up my camera equipment I realized that, not only was the tripod too short for the table top, I was too short for me to have the ability to see through the camera lens and actually take the pictures. So I ended up shortening the tripod and kneeling on top of the table top just so I could get the pictures.

Though this process was a little more difficult than expected, I can say that the final product didn't come out too shabby.
