Hobbies & Interests

I agree with Hopscotch Queen Since 2015 that film making sounds very interesting. I always find myself watching films with half a mind on how they are actually made, I like diving deeper into them.

One of my lifelong interests (which I wish could have been a hobby but probably never will be) is animation. I love the idea of watching someone produce something artistic, then stitching together lots of static images to produce motion and make something come alive. To me, the mixture of artistic and technical skill make it seem like magic. Alas, I lack the imagination and creativity to do it myself, so I make do with watching it instead.

Me too! I love to see the behind the scenes of how things are made. One of my faves is behind the scenes of Wallace and Gromit, I watched that on youtube and it was so interesting seeing how it was made. Always very inspiring to see behind the scenes of movies.

Your welcome I'm glad you enjoyed it.

That was a wonderful read Hopscotch Queen Since 2015 , thank you!

I've seen all the Twilights. The whole saga is amaze from start to finish-I wish there were more! I haven't seen the behind the scenes yet, don't know why either-just one of those things I haven't got round to. I relate a lot with the vampires, their not fitting in, not being able to talk to peope. Great series of films.

Completely agree with this! Hilarious scene and so well made, must have taken so much time to get it right but worth it. I imagine must be an amazing job working on something like Wallace and Gromit! I could do that for the rest of my life and not be bored.

Here's a page about how they did it https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/the-making-of-the-wrong-trousers-dream-teams has some pics from it too. Must be a lot of patience, imagine one slip up and I guess you'd have to start all over again.

Pure genius.

My all time, hands down, favourite animated moment ever is from Wallace and Grommit, where they have a train chase through their house on a model train, then Grommit has to lay down the track fast enough to not crash.

1. It's just plain funny, the kind of thing you would see in a Looney Tunes cartoon from 60 years ago.

2. Then I think that someone (or a team of people) had to move plasticine models a millimetre at a time AND make it look like it was happening really fast AND have a fast moving background AND do other multiple things at once! It must have taken them 3-6 months to film a 30 second joke, can you imagine the patience involved?! 

I watched behind the scenes of twilight saga. I liked the saga and the vampires I somehow identified with them and the behind the scenes was also fun for me.
