IMS Design Studio

  I'm seriously considering setting up an Animation Studio. Animating The Gnomes of New Hope is most definitely a goal. It seems that we need to take that bull by the horns and begin the process.    I have been investigating converting our 2D paintings into 3D characters for use with both animation and 3D printing.     We have already engaged in creating Garden Gnomes and we have a sculpting/puppetry studio, so expanding into 3D printing will naturally lead us into 3D animation. It's just a question of prioritizing the elements of these studios.     I will address this process in the this blog IMS Design and add other design elements here with assorted links to other blogs. More later.  AG

     I've been thinking about upgrading my Hasselblad equipment. If I do, I need to crcoup the cost.    Years ago, like two decades ago, I was involved in doing product photography and brochure design. Well, in moving things around in my shop I came across an infinity table that I built. That got me thinking that I might offer product photography again, after I get my stage set up.     I'm building a sound stage in building four, mainly for rehearsals and filming a few shows that we have. But it would not be hard to also use that space (or nearby) to set-up that infinity table again.    I think that will be another aspect of IMS Publishing , since I'm seriously considering putting in a printing press for my book publications.
