What I learned today…

- It’s always a good idea to make extra touch up paint for props and especially characters that are going to be handled and animated, as much as this might seem like a speed-hindrance at the time.
- Writing down specific processes and solutions for problems and situations that might reoccur in the future, this will save time and headaches.
I was talking with someone at Handcranked this morning, and he said how the fabrication people were agreeing that it would be helpful to create a “recipe book” of mixtures that have been researched and perfected in the past for specific needs…. for example, how to make perfect snow for stop-motion sets, and perfect snow-glazed hillside plaster combinations. This seems to be a reoccurring theme with many people I’ve spoken with in this field. You can’t trust those fickle brain cells as much as you’d like to believe!
