I’m in the middle of migrating away this site away from WordPress. Part of that is to reduce/eliminate some of the associated costs. Another is my general annoyance with WordPress. (If you browse the site, you’ll notice that some pages are pretty broken, largely thanks to plugins that no longer work for reasons that I don’t have the energy to investigate.) My hope is toRead More »Migration
As I mentioned in my previous post, I spent a little time playing with DaVinci Resolve as a possible replacement for HitFilm. During that time, I managed to recreate one of my old HitFilm tutorial effects in a more dynamic way than the original, and I figured that I’d share it here. (Just to be clear, I haven’t touched Resolve in the better part ofRead More »DaVinci Resolve: Dice Effect
It’s been ages since I posted anything here. I’ve been meaning to overhaul the site and get away from WordPress, but that’s on the back burner until I can make up my mind what tech stack I want to use. Anyway, here are some long-overdue updates. (This is looking to be a long post, but please bear with me, as getting all of this outRead More »Long overdue update
My tweenMachine tool has had a long and slightly bumpy history. After turning over development to Alex Widener in early 2018, I had high hopes for its continued development and growth. However, aside from having a GitHub repo created for it, not much else was done. I kept checking back periodically to see if there was any progress, but sadly there wasn’t. Then in mid-2021,Read More »New tweenMachine developer: Wade Schneider
While I’ve been posting my All About That Base adventures here for a while, I’ve always wanted a dedicated site just for that stuff. That time is NOW! AllAboutThatBase.tips is where you can find all of my Airtable stuff from now on. It’s going to take a little time to migrate everything over there, but for starters you can find a field reference table thatRead More »New website for all things Airtable
A new page has been added to the site: HitFilm Project Files. I don’t have a lot of things to put there yet, but as stuff gets released on the Clever Tagline channel, I’ll toss related project files over there. The first entry is a project file for a short test (shown below) that I made in late 2017, playing around with the then-new PuppetRead More »New Page: HitFilm Project Files
Okay, this is just a teeny bit miraculous: it’s only been two weeks since the last Clever Tagline video went up, and there’s another one ready to go! This one started a little over a year ago as a test, which was posted to a “Testing” playlist on the channel, filed loosely in the back of my mind for a future tutorial, and largely forgotten.Read More »New Video: Animate Anything Along a Path in HitFilm
Two new videos in less than a week? It’s a miracle! (Not really: the second one below was mostly done a couple months ago, but I felt guilty for not finishing the LED stuff sooner, so I tackled that starting in mid-April, then finished the Airtable video.) First off, here’s the latest cleverness to hit the tubes: the LONG overdue conclusion to the LED BarRead More »New Clever, New Base, New Plan, New Job
Little did I know when installing this latest theme a few months ago that the developers would effectively drop it for another (better?) one shortly after my switch. So here I am changing yet again. I still like the simple look of this theme (“Flat”), and hope to mimic the same thing with the new one, “Neve.” So if you’re showing up and things lookRead More »Changing looks…again
It’s been a while since I last redesigned this thing, and frankly, I was getting tired of the old design for a variety of reasons, so I went searching for something new. I’m kinda digging the simple, minimalist look of this theme. It fits the content, in a way, seeing that I don’t do a whole lot over here…at least, not at the moment. IRead More »New year, new look
