I’ve started a fairly ambitious project. My end game isn’t 100% finalized yet, but to get where I’m going I’ve decided I want to learn how to create perler bead animations. My test subject; Super Mario Bros. I really feel this game is a great choice for my project since it’s got a fairly limited set of sprites to work with, a smallish set of colors, and it’s super well recognized.

Initially I’d planned to make them using what I normally use to edit my videos, Final Cut Pro X. However, it became pretty clear right away that this was not going to work for anything beyond super simple animations. So I did a bit of looking, and decided to try my hand at learning Motion 5. It seemed like a good place to start, since it seems to be similar to FCPX, but be much more suited to creating motion graphics.

So off I went, and I have now got a rudimentary idea of how Motion 5 works. I’m a LONG way from being a pro, and it might turn out that it’s the wrong tool for the job in the end. But for now, I’m gonna keep plugging away at this, and see how it goes.

Lego Dimensions Case

Has it really been almost 3 years since I added content here? Crazyness. Amazing how time flies. Well time to get this party re-started!

I’ve recently started playing the latest game in the series of Lego games, LEGO Dimensions.

It’s incredibly fun, and I’ve been collecting all of the figurines as they’ve come out, which left me with the issue of figuring out a way to store all of them.

To solve this, I designed a case that I think fits the bill.

It takes a couple hours from start to finish to build (excluding painting.. which takes a few hours on its own) but for me it’s totally worth it. I end up with a handy way to store all my Lego characters, and it looks pretty cool too.
