What I did last week
I had to take holiday hours so I took last week off.
Of course I can't go anywhere right now so I decided to do a project I've had the back of my mind for quiet some time.
(The most I've done for it in the past was write out the lyrics & their time-codes)
I decided to do another animated music video.
Of course once I had started I realised I had a song that was over 5 mins long.
:(
I had the idea to do it shadow puppet style to make things a bit easier on my (and because it would be easier to draw) but I don't currently have any animation software.
I used GIMP to draw the things & OpenShot Video Editor to make the actual Vid.
That may have been a mistake because it really wasn't build for precision work. But the only other video editing software I have is Lightworks & I couldn't even figure out how to rotate things in there.
I need to find a bunch of tutorial vids before I work with that again. At lest OpenShot is pretty intuitive.

The song is "The Watchmaker's Apprentice" by "The Clockwork Quartet" (they only have 3 songs which is a pity because they're good.)
