October 28, 2010

It's after 2 AM, but it's a new day anyway.  I did some painting on the new Garden painting, which is to replace the one destroyed by the elements.   I didn't really want to work on it, but I didn't want to start a new painting and most of the others are still too wet to touch.

But I discovered something - even without inspiration, if the image has a plan, you can work on it to shore up that plan (adding highlights and shadows, for example) without any inspiration from the work itself.  And the work will still be better for it.

Update:  got the swimming in around 8:30 AM.  Shot some video of the Parkway using the little clamp thing I bought; it fell off after two and a half minutes.  It's very jumpy, and I ran it through Sony's "Image stabilization" fix which made it a bit less jumpy.  I wanted even less jumpy, and tried it a second time, and it ended up with a zoomed in image.  Hm, have to figure out how this works.

Update 2: tried some more stabilization settings, with results not as good.  What the heck.  I did some vocal recording for the Doppelganger soundtrack.  My mini-pre seems to be dead.  Damn.

Update 3: well, that's about it.
