I've been playing with Adobe Character Animator and working up a cast of characters puppets for use when I get a script developed.
Here is the Kamala Screen test video on You Tube: https://youtu.be/ItV0aspciQU
So got any Script ideas?

First screen test of a new animation puppet. This one is Kamala

The new Facebook/Meta rule starts tomorrow where they can use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today! This could be used in lawsuits against you. Everything you've ever posted is posted today - even messages that have been deleted. It doesn't cost anything, just copy and post, better than regretting later.
Under UCC Law Sections 1-207, 1-308... I am imposing my Reservation of Rights...
I DO NOT ALLOW Facebook/Meta or any other Facebook/Meta related person to use my photos, information, messages or messages, both in the past and in the future. This statement I inform Facebook/Meta that it is strictly prohibited to disclose, copy, distribute or take any other action against me based on this account and / or its contents. This account content is private and confidential information. Violation of my personal life may be punished by law.
NOTE: Facebook/Meta is now a public organization. All participants should post a note like this.
If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you don't publish a discharge at least once, you'll automatically allow the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your account status updates. NOT ′′ share ′′ but ′′ copy + paste "!
Their new algorithm is chosen by the same people - about 25 who will read your posts.
Consequently:
Hold your finger anywhere in this post and a copy will appear. Click on Copy. Then go to your page, start a new post and place your finger in an empty field. ′′ Insert ′′ will appear and you will click on it. This will pass the system.
I'm not giving Facebook/Meta permission to share my information posted on their website. PHOTOS, CURRENT or PAST, PUBLICATION, PHONE NUMBER OR POST... Absolutely nothing can be used in any form without my written permission.

Hi All,
Here we are "sheltering in place" with the virus out in the world.
Well, with a nice day and not much else to do, I shot a set of 3D images of what ever was in bloom in my yard.
I have them posted at http://stmichaelsarmory.net/3DintheYard.php
Enjoy. Hunker down and stay well!

In the times of the Corona Virus So what are you doing to be socially distanced responsibly? I am supposed to be working in a deli but I have a terrible hacking cough. No one wants "slice, slice, cough, cough, slice slice, here's your lunch sir". I've been off work since 3/4. Yesterday was such a be...

CASTING CALL
SMA is in the process of creating a short animated political satire and needs voices for the characters.

The story line leans to the right and based (loosely) on the Green New Deal and a look 12 years into the future.

With the exception of the female lead, no character has more than a couple of paragraphs.

This is a below low budget project. There is NO budget to be precise. There will be no pay,no compensation but a line in the credits roll.

If you are interested: https://youtu.be/UT7ucI8fq-k is a video to introduce the characters. Send an email to [email protected] and I'll give you instructions on how to get voice samples to me. Those selected will then get a copy of the script.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi all,
I've created a slide show on the SMA website with the latest 3D stereograms from the Oregon gardens. Nice Depth Of Views! http://stmichaelsarmory.net/SlideShows.php
to see them.

Slide Shows I've been playing with a slide show maker software. This page will hold shows from some of the fun shoots I've been on. Some are in 3D - Stereograms (side by side). You will need a stereo gram viewer to fully enjoy them, but you can see them as just 2 2D imagaes with out the viewer. I ge...

Hi All,
I'm still a bit new at using pages, so I hope I do this right.
I have some new 3D images from the Oregon Garden, dead of winter on my google drive (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tm0nVlVU8XkI6MQfBoVAHSdm9pEJhvSj?usp=sharing).
If you need a viewer drop me a note and we'll figure something out.

Not really about the ocean but the street address. These are images I took of my friend's rental property in Canon Beach for his web site.
