Friday Arts & Crafts Day Update: April 29, 2022

Been a while, but then I’ve been working on this stuff for at least 2 weeks and nothing else to report on this month… so… it’s all about the strippers’ changeroom set for The Nick White Show. Let’s have a shot of the whole set first, ready to shoot...

Production planning, shipping delays, and some more spring flowers

This week’s been all about The Nick White Show for the most part. The start-up of any new project is always the most time-consuming. Anyway, I’m planning to have a video chunk per week, so I figured it was time to come up with a daily task to keep...

Friday Arts & Crafts Day Update: March 11, 2022

Slow week this week in terms of crafting and even in terms of prop-building. I needed some plain backgrounds for “sets” for The Nick White Show, so I painted a pair of canvases grey and another pair black to make for a couple different room corner options: The black...

Filming, googly eyes, and ripping CDs

Actual production on The Nick White Show has begun… sorta. The first video will be a little no-dialogue skit using the graffiti wall I posted about yesterday as an outdoor set. I filmed it this morning (because I forgot about the whole nasty black shadows on the set thing...

Friday Arts & Crafts Day Update: March 4, 2022

No knitting or stitching this week, it was all about the prop and set making for The Nick White Show this week. The biggest project was this graffiti and poster wall that I officially needed only for one quick shot in a montage in the trailer, but I kinda...

Propmaking, rain, and a leaky dishwasher

Once again, the big activity of the week was making props for the trailer I need to shoot ASAP for The Nick White Show, but I covered that in yesterday’s post, so never mind. I have had a couple people now recommend I switch to Super Sculpey clay, and...

More stuff for The Nick White Show: It should be noted for the record that those Grammys are not Nick’s. Instead, they were awarded to his rival who already has a couple dozen of them kicking around in his garage: In other prop-building for the show, I’ve painted a...

Spring cleaning, spring flowers… kinda a slow week

Well, the squirrel didn’t manage to come back inside, though she’s tried a few times this week. So we seem to be good on that front. In other news, spring has sprung, or at least begun to do so. Garden pics at the end, but also spring cleaning has...

Friday Arts & Crafts Day Update: February 18, 2022

As promised last week, I got some mini mics made for The Nick White Show: So, left to right we have a Neumann U87, a Shure SM57, and a Shure SM58. I actually made 3 each of the SM57s and SM58s. Of course, I realized after I made the...

Tweaked back, character bios, and the return of Squirrel Wars

Well, another Saturday blog. Couple big news items this week: first, I somehow tweaked my back on Thursday. No clue how; everything was fine and normal for the first half of Thursday, then about 2:30 I decided to go for a quick walk before my Zoom clarinet lesson and...
