Checking in

Why, hello there blogging world.  I guess I took a break from updating "For the Record" I will try to no be gone so long again.

Finally!

Oh, sweet mystery of life at last I've found you!

I finally was able to buy the missing battery for my Bell & Howell super 8 camera! It only took me, what, half a year to get it. I stopped by my local camera store yesterday and the guy just hands it to me off the shelf. If he only knew what I went through to get this tiny little battery! I know it would have been much simpler to just buy it online, but I can now happily say that my local camera shop worked for me.

So now I have a battery, some film stock and the camera. Hopefully it will all come together and I will have about two and a half minutes worth of test . . . keep your fingers crossed!

Found Friday

Sorry I have been mum lately.  The summer may be winding down but all of our activities certainly aren't.  In any case, I found this amazing animation tutorial from none other than Terry Gilliam.  I have always loved the Monty Python cut-paper style animation and now I can do it too! Note: Video slightly NSFW
