Step 1, get a camera, know what you’re doing. Make sure it doesn’t move. Step 2, make you set, and set the boundaries of what the camera can see. Step 3. Do not do this on the floor like we did. On a table is way better. Step 4. get your animated pieces ready. Don’t make too many little parts or else it’s hard to animate them. Keep it relatively simple. Figure out a way that they can stick just a little and not too much. Make sure it doesn’t leave a residue or else you’ll be photoshopping a lot. Bolt / tape down the stuff that isn’t going to move. It’ll accidentally move if you don’t. Note: don’t animate where gusts of wind or passersby can mess your set up. Find an able bodied partner who won’t slow you down. Move pieces ever so slightly. If you forget some, oh well. On a table, or else you’ll be looking like this, and this isn’t good for your back This looks neat, but it doesn’t work. The strange drawing by the pencil. That’s a sketch of what you see when you look down another person’s shirt collar. (not while you do your animation).

Anyone play Chuzzle on the iPhone? I’m just starting it. It’s a Popcap game, and guess what? I got these goodies from them. They’re Chuzzles which sort of look like Puyo Puyo characters. The game is different, and this isn’t a review, but this post is a giveaway via Twitter. “giantroboteric” I’ll tweet a trivia question at around 3pm PST. Answer it first and I’ll send these to you free.

See this dessert? I liked this one a lot. Tasty, creamy with that fruity middle. I’m guessing the cookie was part of the top and bottom. I was a Judge in this contest where students from culinary schools created desserts using fortune cookies. Why was it happening? It was part of a screening and DVD release event for the film Killing of a Chinese Cookie where I have a tiny appearance. Here’s the site.Also here’s the trailer. I’m in this for just an instant. For my meager efforts, I got beer, fortune cookies, a weird small book, and these three items. Which wins? This woman made a pudding like dessert with fortune cookies sprinkled on top. I can’t say it was the best, but it was good. This woman was a fill in. She has nice thumbs. I can’t tell if it’s a gang sign or something. This one was apples with fortune cookies at the bottom. The apples were good, but this one was least creative. Bread pudding… Oh yeah, this one was good. Heavy, rich, but good. A couple of pics below,
