"Fex - That's an original approach to creating a starfield, with the grey foam! Looks like you just change the lighting so it comes up black, with lots of little stars in different sizes and intensities, all there instantly. I've done starfields…"

"Green screen would not work because the clay is shiny, and it would reflect a lot of the green background, causing there to appear to be a hole in the puppets. It might have worked if there was a good deal of separation between the foreground and…"

"ok that's cool approach..

yeah I can relate to working to audio.. I use to play and write piano and guitar.. so I get that approach..
I like the idea of a computer monitor behind.. so you don't need to do green screen then.. but how do you…"

"You really have an almost shadow box- looking setup. Deeper, though. I really dug the layers of focus and shift from foreground. The next time you shoot on glass, you can create the illusion of a floor being walked on by having a vertical plank of…"

"Hey Don, what a interesting idea shooting over glass! all rigs out! I like it. May be I use it for some scenes. Your farmer is cute, the sheeps are a little "2D", I think it's complicated put its 4 feet on the floor if the sheep is 3D, doesn't it? "

"My god, no! 23 feet is greater than real life! it is 23x16x12 inches. Good luck with the masks; first time all is complicated, but when you learn it, all is easy."

"Hey Don, It's good to see some of your bts pics.. I like the downshooter and glass approach actually.. I wish I done more with it, when I had it set up.. but I got rid of it all a while back, trying to declutter, and dedicate to stopmotion with a…"

"I'm still trying to get my head around the numbers lol.. you have a room 23x16x12 feet? I'm going to try and do a test on FCP or DR layering.. I never learnt how to use masking tools.. it maybe easier on FCP

thanks,"
