Many talented friends and my former glorious employer and VFX artisan Phil Tippett unveil a fully stop motion film. Got to drop in and see some of the madness a year ago and everyone was certainly enjoying themselves. Have a look.

Snow kiting Turtle Lake, MN

Just got the GoPro Hero 3+ for Christmas. What a blast being out on a bluebird day. Then more fun (well not as much obviously) on the editing. GoPro Studio is not too bad either. Still needed some AE to polish it off. So much winter wonder land up here in the Midwest. http://www.ventosum.com/media/davidrbehrens_kiteTurtleLake.2014_01_04.mp4
