I love going to comic cons, it's such a blast seeing people dressed in cosplays, observing people's nerdy arts and crafts and meeting famous people. Here are the ones I've been to. Lexington, Kentucky Louisville, Kentucky Huntington, West Virginia

  I started getting into Dungeons and Dragons at the beginning of the 2020s, I had known of it all my life, but I didn't quite know what it was. I played more of Paper Mario and the only fantasy games I played when I was growing up were the Legend of Zelda and Spyro the Dragon. I played Dungeons and Dragons at the Carter County Library in my hometown and I came up with a lot of stuff. I then eventually decided to create my own Dungeons and Dragons campaign to play with locals, as well as a fantasy script that will one day be a movie, which has a lot of what I came up with in Dungeons and Dragons! But the aesthetic of the film is supposed to be more like CandyLand and My Little Pony.

 Welcome to the very last film lesson on the Colton Leach Films blog. We're going to be discussing whether you want a crew or not: A crew consists of the cinematographer, the person who does the lighting and the boom operator. Behind the scenes photo from Back To The Future Part III But if you're an independent filmmaker, you don't have to have a crew, you can be the combination camera-person/light director/boom operator. That's what I am except for the boom operator part. If you don't believe me, you should read Robert Rodriguez's book "Rebel Without A Crew", it's very helpful!

Welcome to the second film lesson that involves animation. In this lesson, you're going to learn about finding the right voice actors for your animations. Voice acting can be a chore, you can even voice all the characters, well probably not in a feature film, but a short film definitely. You need software or an app, most video editing software has a built-in recording microphone. Examples of voice acting: #1. Animated children's series usually have different voice actors playing characters. It gives the characters individual distinct voices. Here's a behind the scenes clip from SpongeBob. #2. Japanese animated shows (more commonly called "anime") are dubbed by voice actors when they are brought the U.S.A. The voice actors read the same script rewritten in English. #3. Adult animated series, including South Park, Family Guy and the first season of Rick and Morty, commonly have the creators voicing most of the characters. While it gives the characters distinct sound...

 Here's the first film lesson that involves animation. Animation is where different frames are put together and swiped to create an illusion of movement. There are different techniques for animation, here are the three types. #1. 2D Animation Two-Dimensional Animation is the granddaddy of all cartoons. It all goes back to the golden era of cartoons, where the characters were inked and painted on acetate sheets, then put on inked and painted backgrounds. In the 21st century, the analog way of making cartoons faded away and was replaced with digital. #2. Stop-Motion Animation The oldest type of animation, my animation technique Stop-Motion involves taking a bunch of photos then sliding them all at once making it look like something that wouldn't move is moving. It's like magic! While not as common in film as it was over thirty years ago, stop-motion animation is very popular on YouTube. #3.
