GETTING THERE.

I have been persevering with video enhancement. I can now work the colour wheel thingies and much more besides but I'll just show you some Poppy flowers and a few fireflies. The fireflies want their motion and speed altering and they also need selective masking so they appear to fly behind the twigs and flower petals. This is getting interesting and it's all for free with Blender. The little glowing spheres are Boids. I used them years ago to emulate a flock of birds and had forgotten about them until I noticed the Bee fly into the shot so decided to muck about with them again. They would be better if I modelled a little fly or a big fly. It makes little difference in the virtual world. These are small to start with and then get larger as they approach the foreground.

 I think this video looks sparkling bright. I'm pleased I found all these posh controls to play with. I also found that the minute adjustments required can be achieved by holding down shift whilst shifting the controls. I haven't shown the editing software but probably will bore you to death with it as it helps get it straight in my mind.

I got some more harvest footage. I ought to be able to to get it all sorted and perfectly exposed and colour graded by Saturday. They are running out of space and could do with some carting away as I suspect the last three or four trailer loads will need drying. There may be room to shoot it on top of the heap but it looks marginal.
