Ellie Coral's online workbench… mind the mess.
This short should have been done last month, but due to Apple trying to fix what was never broken and therefore breaking and preventing fixing… *sigh* Despite all the setbacks, the newest short is done. I get to add more to the Inklenook ecosystem. That’s what matters. And I get to use more Tomodachi Life…
It’s a short, but working on this made me realize something: the camera also contributes to action and emotion. Here’s a GIF of this animatic, at the full resolution: Your eyes don’t quite know where to land, do they? This was going to be the video itself, but something told me to use a camera…
Lovingly and painstakingly mashed together in DaVinci Resolve over the course of three weeks. And I still want to make changes to it before I upload it to a channel. Tip: View in fullscreen, because the WP video feature doesn’t allow for custom video sizes. (Warning: Loud noise) Just one of the many hypocrisies…
Or Ellie Hasn’t Actually Read the Classic, But She’ll Still Act Smart for Borrowing Elements from It Not too long ago, I was skimming the GameRT Discord when I saw a message. Since I’m not sure of the sharing policy for screenshots, I’ll only share a description and the poster’s message. It was a screenshot…
At my local Friends of the Library, we don’t get terribly unusual donations. But it is springtime, which means we’ll be getting hundreds of boxes, bags, and totes—sometimes in a single week. It gets overwhelming and we don’t know how we’ll store everything until the monthly book sale. After the worrying, we start rifling through…
Or Ellie Has A Lot to Share About Her Recent Journeys The semester is nearly over, and I feel more time being freed up. I’m going to try to enjoy the summer because the fall semester is going to be my busiest, what with two courses and an internship. But if I could survive the…
Or Ellie Finally Sets Out to Do Something Besides Writing Papers for Grades Make a sandwich and strap in. This could be the last post I make for a while, though I’m starting to make more micro posts, as you can see in the Bluesky widget (to your right… or near the bottom, depending on…
I thought this was going to be an easy semester, at least until things started ramping up towards May. Turns out I miscalculated. It hit this week, starting with a Zoom meeting I hadn’t even known was scheduled. This university loves its Zoom meetings (part of that “new normal” privileged people feared during the pandemic…
Or I’ve Been Doing These Things Before I Knew These Videos Existed, So I’m Ahead of the Game A few days ago, the YouTube algorithm presented Dr. K and his Healthy Gamer videos. I’ve taken a cue from Noble Knight and have started calling myself a hardcore casual gamer, so I don’t really consider myself…
For my MLIS program, we have to create a portfolio. It’s a project that many students tend to leave until the last few weeks before graduation, flying into a foaming panic as they tear through a checklist of required documents and mangulate Wix templates. (Note to self: Fight for the privilege of designing my own…
