Poser 6

Animation has always been of interest to me, as has also been movie making. Instead of spending alot of money on a nice digital video camera, sound equipment, lighting, and all the other odds and ends needed for making high-quality videos, I have decided to test my skills at animation.
Just recently, I have come into contact with a guy (Ryan Myers) who also wants to make movies, but is more into getting live footage, and so has already spent two or three thousand on video equipment. This Sunday, we will be filming part of a short film together that will hopefully be submitted to a film festival in Texas this September.
So (back to animation), in future videos that we do together, I am wanting there to be some really good looking animation and great special effects. I just ordered an animation program off the internet (after looking around for the best), and came up with Poser 6. It was moderately priced, considering how good it really is. The pictures below are actual photographs of what other users of Poser 6 have created. Poser 6 has been nominated "Best Animation" by many companies around the world.

Hampton Court Palace, London

Since I mentioned yesterday that we visited the 'other' Hampton Court near London, I thought I might as well write about that one today! This palace was the home of many monarchs, including Henry VIII. It was fun seeing different historical things "come to life." The wide strip of grass leading up to the palace gate was rather imposing!

The Statues

In front of the main entrance to the palace there are four carved statues. In the beginning of the movie, A Man for All Seasons, (it's about Thomas More) these statues are shown. It was fun seeing them in real life! Looking at the river next to the palace, we could almost imagine Thomas More riding in his boat to have audience with Cardinal Wolsey. ( . . . the movie is much recommended!)
