Another Selfie! 4/29/15
SNG Pictures 4-29-15
Finally back to the Enterprise. I had it in my mind all day yesterday making the interior graphics in Photoshop off scanned drawings made to fit the rooms exactly. It worked perfectly and I did a people test too. Although the image I used was poor and from the net it proved it would work to me.
Next I put on the uniform and take a head to toe picture of me against green screen. At high resolution it should reduce well to the small size and still have enough detail to recognize it as me. It was bothering me that the 3D printing was so nebulous that it was hard to recognize the individual.
I also made chairs and tables. Even the floor rugs and once installed you can see it close up as well as at a distance. The pictures are OK but do it justice. You will just have to brave it and watch the selfie that is about to be loaded to really learn how it was done and what it really looks like.
I will have to clean the window edges more it doesn’t really show in person but under the camera so close up it does.
More tomorrow and we have Uncle Ted back tomorrow and we get to see what he’s working on.

BSG continues
Selfie going up in the morning but today was Enterprise and the Battle Star. Rusty Harrell paid us a visit it was great to see him here and is planning to make us the plaque for the Museum of Science Fiction Enterprise build! Thanks Rusty!
Here are a few pictures of the BSG in progress..
The pictures show the red as source spotted but in person they are not since I diffused them. Dang iPhone.
Star Trek Sirius
I started making this movie over 3 years ago. My late wife at that time was starting to fight her cancer. When it got worse I had to stop production. Now all this time later I have decided to finish it. So much of the edit is lost and many effects shots never finished. It’s about 20 minutes long. But I have recovered enough of it to make a go of finishing it after “Martians Attack SNG” is finished. I will have to do the effects shots all myself but it should be fun as all the live action is done and cut together. The voice of the computer is that of my late wife Gillian Neill. I think she would have wanted me to finish it. She wrote the story. The CGI Bridge was constructed in Lightwave by myself.
