All sorts of things

1. Yes, it's possible to make animation with the rotascope texture, however, it's not easier.

2. Been working on RIFF. Writer's group took a peek at a couple entries and so far the feedback has been positive as well as helpful.

3. My flatmates and I are writing a book about our travels. I've never written a non-fiction before but was inspired by Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams. (Inspired by Douglas Adams? That's never happened to me before! *smirk*) Jenny suggested we publish through Createspace.com. We also have to figure out what tense and point of view we want it to be in (let alone style.

4. I'm finishing up on my London videos. The documentary is done, as is Spring Break. I need to render some others (ie Islington, Ireland, karaoke). All I have left to edit is some misc. London things like Dungeon, parks, etc.

5. I've read a lot of Discworld books this summer and have drawn lots of sketches that occur to me from them, including a large 24x24 City Watch one. I'm working on an even bigger Librarian one. I also want to do a large Doctor Who as well, but don't have time (I've only got one week before returning to school).

6. I've made more masks, the most recent ones being a Time Tracker with a watch in his eye and an Igor made of painted cloth. I have to pick one of my 13 masks for Halloween. I might make a new one with air holes.
