While this might be a video project, mostly still images are being used. This is to make the backgrounds of our video stop motion but also to animate drawn (still) characters. To make any of it move, the pictures need to be brought together in a pleasing way as to create movement.

For the background, Teresa worked in Premiere Pro. It should be noted that she took all the photos in RAW format on a Nikon D60. This means that the images are larger than your regular image and that they cannot just be used, but need to be colour corrected and exported first. Luckily, Teresa already had experience with the RAW format and thus how to colour correct it. Although it is mainly her work, she did teach em how to import and change RAW photos as well. In turn, I helped Teresa with Premiere, but as all Adobe programming shares similar functionalities and shortcut keys, she got into it quite quickly. 

As Director, I mostly oversee what the other are doing. This includes them constantly asking me to look at their work to se if it is as I wish it is. I'm very grateful that they constantly want my input instead of just going of to work on their own. It does however keep me from doing my work creating puppets sometime.

A skill I definitely still need to work on is managing/directing. When it comes to setting self imposed deadlines, I've not pushed hard enough or be certain enough of when I wanted something done. To add to that, officially, the script still isn't done...
