What's Happening?

Hi All
I've been busy making a movie, or should I say extremely busy making the first twenty seconds of a movie. Wow is it time consuming!
Of course much of my time has been spent learning the basics of programs such as windows movie maker and freeware sound editors.
I think it's fair to say that it's going to take me several weeks before I start my next photostory, and hopefully by then I will have picked up some new ideas and techniques,
best wishes
Kate

New Story-Sonny's Day

I decided to try the Introduction Challenge, and double challenged myself to make a story from the resulting pictures.
Having only one sim to control was a bit of a relief after all the characters I had in my Orpheus story.
I've been thinking about different approaches to writing a fair bit recently, and it's been great to get the chance to discuss writing styles with other writers on

Orpheus-Final Chapter Posted!

I have just posted the final chapter of Orpheus in Undieworld. I was somewhat
shocked to discover that I have taken over a thousand photos during the making
of this series.

Although I had an outline plot for the whole story, I had to make changes on
the way when my skill, or the game, could not produce the effects required. The
ending caused me some headaches, especially as there are so many characters in
the story.

I seriously underestimated how long each scene would take. In the beginning I
wondered if I might need to extend from two to three episodes!

Each of the characters have 'back stories' that are occasionally referred to
within the plot. Some characters never appear, Bunny's boyfriend Nigel who gets
turned on by her reading amateur electronics magazine, Tweedy Harris, Orphy's
best man, and Ernest Borgsevenofnine another one of the chaps from 'network
solutions'.

Some of the best moments for me, where when the characters improvised a scene
all by themselves, such as when Dr Vu's shoes caught fire in the exploding
marzipan bunny incident.

The most frustrating times where in working out the linking scenes that make
sense (hopefully) of the plot.

I hope very much that you enjoyed the story, I have learned so much, and
particularly enjoy the comments, guestbook entries and pms that have followed
each episode.

 

   
Best Wishes,

Welcome All To My First Blog Entry!

I am completely

 

delighted

to have been awarded my own minisite on TSR.

Thank you to the TSR team and all my friends on this site for your
encouragement and support. 

As I write this I don't have much content on show, but hopefully you will
soon be able to share my daft stories, bewildering screenshots and questionable
taste in sim-decor.
