With this blog-post I’m going to begin what I hope will turn into a sort-of potentially helpful series called:

All Free Stuff

The point of this exercise – or series of exercises – is to demonstrate that 1) there’s a ton of free stuff out there to do all kinds of cool stuff with and 2) you are limited only by your willingness to learn how to do things, not by funds to purchase tools to do those things.
Back in the day – we’re talking the 1980s, here – editing video shot on your camcorder was a luxury reserved for those who could afford software the cost of a small car. Now, a lot of it is free.
Anyway, let’s get started. Here’s a quick little video I shot on my new Sony A6000 and edited in Blender. It’s a pretty meaningless video, really: as I said in the thing, I wanted to see how long it took to go from concept to final render. In this case, it took over a week: pretty sure I’d mentioned to Paula and DL at work that I was looking to put something like this together well over a week ago.
So, yeah, need to pick up my game.

The video is around 84mB.

Okay, next, we’ll hope to show a bit of footage from NZ!
