		<title>Full Circle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I shot the LAST frame of the film today.  There is still more to shoot, but just elements &#8212; text, transitions, that sort of thing.  But the main stuff is DONE!  Or in the can, as they say. I didn&#8217;t really realize it til I was actually shooting it, but the final scene ends [...]]]></description>

		<title>Very Quick Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh dear, I haven&#8217;t updated in a LONG time.  This summer is flying by. I&#8217;m still working away on the film.  I&#8217;m currently 2/3 of the way through my 30-second 2D / 3D sequence.  The technique here is similar to the oil-on-glass technique of 2D animation, but I&#8217;m using something I did in 3DS Max [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I guess it went OK &#8212; I am surely not cut out to be in front of the camera. But I think of it this way &#8212; if I were living in a jungle somewhere, where there were tigers to run from, the fight or flight reaction in my central nervous system would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Forgot to Mention&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I forgot to mention some great news &#8212; I was awarded a FAP grant from the NFB&#8230;  an award for new filmmakers.  I am super thrilled to be working with the NFB, if only for now to have help with the costs of post production.  Perhaps one day I&#8217;ll be making a short film with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hard to Believe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to believe,  but I am finished shooting the puppet / 3D set scenes.  Finished, after almost two years of working (on and off) on these scenes.  This is a big relief, as these shoots seemed like the hardest part of the filmmaking process, with all their unknowns&#8230; but of course I also feel [...]]]></description>

		<title>Final Scenes!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have so much to write / post about here&#8230; but I am a very bad blogger.  Hopefully once things settle down I can post up some of the things I&#8217;ve been working on. In the meantime, here&#8217;s a quickie&#8230; this scene feels like a culmination of a lot of people&#8217;s hard work&#8230; and I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scaling Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, the past couple weeks has seen a return to set building, once again.  It&#8217;s been a while. I had to build a scaled-up version of the copper pot, so that I could animate what&#8217;s inside of it in an overhead closeup.  I found a white plastic container at a local favourite junk store &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Funny Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stop motion sometimes makes us do funny things, like put $25 worth of overly coloured hair gel down the drain, through a strainer, to strain out the clear plastic beads and fimo carrots. Love also sometimes makes us do funny things, like asking at the drug store for some clear hair gel, and testing some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sabela Cutting Cabbage:  Lighting Breakdown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve put together another little lighting tutorial &#8212; how ironic, since lighting is the one area I knew nothing about when I started this project.  However it seems to be going pretty well, helped swiftly along by the quality of the pre-established setups by a pro cinematographer &#8212; Marcus Elliott &#8212; and the things I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introducing&#8230;  Shelley&#8217;s Boiling Water!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back, I got a cute little package in the mail from Shelley &#8212; it was a little baggy of gel water, along with some tiny glass beads.  Well, I knew I&#8217;d get a chance to use this, because I needed to have a pot full of boiling water in the film&#8230; which gets [...]]]></description>
