It seems like Blender 5.0 broke something else in my production pipeline. I'll have to investigate further.

Finally bought an optical fiber cable for my sound system. I was stuck with a busted Bluetooth speaker that kept hissing, so now I can finally work normally again.

So I managed to take out the lens from the assembly cleanly.
I'm not fully sure, but I might be able to simply glue the lens adapter on top of the original camera assembly instead of having to 3D print a case for it.
I'll have to order a lens and battery first, however.

Just transferred all the files over I've worked on during the holidays. Moving over the new Canterlot model updates to the main set wasn't too complex after all.

So the weather wasn't very kind but I got back to Montreal earlier tonight.
I've been hoping for big snowflakes to film with the proper lighting, and it seems like I wished too hard because I could barely see in front of me on the road.

In 2025, 96 animators and 2 musicians re-imagined "Magical Mystery Cure" ten seconds at a time. The result is an army of passion, talent and chaotic energy put toward an already chaotic episode. #MLP #MLPReanimated #MAP #Animation

Currently editing some footage for this week's short.
I had to shoot some inserts, so I'm actually trying out Blackmagic Camera instead of Cinema P3.
Premiere struggles with the footage, but in a different way this time.

What if I told you that “MLP: Reanimated” could be out in as few as four days? There was a huge leap forward in progress recently, and I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. #MLP #MLPReanimated

Stayed a few days more in my hometown.
My mom wanted to see the movie I worked on in theater.
They went with one of the rooms in the weird corner of the theater.

I've been trying to get the right weather conditions to film a sequence for a project properly in-camera.
It's been a week that the weather has been teasing me, it's starting to get annoying.

Seems like the next few days will be mostly rough weather. I think I'll just stay home and do more 3D modelling.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"
