Work Update

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to let you know that I've been working on what I'll just be calling the 'stop motion site' again. I think I found out a better organization style and technique to get it moving again. Part of the reason I was having trouble was because I wasn't organized enough and able to look at the project as a whole. Now I can do that so I'm pretty much making an outline of main ideas that have to do with the site and refining and adding details to it. I guess the idea that you use in art to start out rough and then refine works in many areas as well. The outline idea also gives me a chance to come up with solid ideas first and then build what I know I want. Too much guess work was making it hard for me to visualize certain things before. This way I don't have to worry about certain things until others are out of the way. So now I'm just filling that outline in every once in a while until I feel it gets full enough to move onto something else.

In other news, I finished the new KK design not too long ago. I actually finished it soon after I posted about it first. Now all that needs to be done is to get the coding finished which may take a while since I'm not all that knowledgeable in the ways of CSS which I would like to use.

Thats all for now.

Here's another article I came across today about foley, or sound effects for movies. If you're interested in creating some of your own, you might be interested in reading this. It's not the most in depth article, but it does give a basic overview of the idea. The link to it is below.

Kramer Klaymation Going Shiny - Website Update

Click to see larger. I added some annotations of a few things I wanted to note.

The last couple days, I've been working on the site design some more and I decided to give the site a more shiny Web 2.0 look(It's not going to be 100% 2.0). Some things could probably be worked on a little bit more, but I think it's almost done, the index(front) page at least. After that's done, I'll start reworking some of the other pages. I may start on the About Us page first since I have some ideas already. I'm still thinking about the videos and where I should upload them to. It's going to take forever no matter where I do it, so I'm wondering whether I should go quality (Vimeo.com) or more views (Youtube.com). I'll figure that out later, I'm probably going to go for Youtube though because none of my animations are that great anyways. If you want to see other things I've planned, check out this post I did a while back.

Oh ya. This blog is probably going to get a make over as well if I can manage it.

Remodeled Front Page

Today I remodeled the front page. I wanted to give it a fresh look, but I also wanted to adapt to the change in the update system. If I would have kept the old look, there would have been wasted space that used to be taken up by the old update areas. Also, since I also took off the old update links, I'm going to post them here if any one is interested.

Fan Art, Kinda

Here's a little art done on my site that I received from a friend a long time ago. He was using the drawing fun game type thing I have on my site and went crazy with it. It wasn't really used as it was intended for, but hey, I did say, "Heres a little thing I made that you can try out for fun or just if you are bored. ".
