Total Wide-Eyed Amazement

21 07 2007

Last weekend, we did the stage show, “Walking With Dinosaurs” at the Tacoma Dome. It was a lot of fun.

Ethan particularly enjoyed it. Check out that wide-eyed amazement.

And that was before the show even opened, we were watching a few lighting people climb up into their riggings so they could control the lights on the giant dino robot puppet things.

When was the last time you felt like that? When was the last time you did something that so cool that it made people feel that way? I’m currently waiting at the University Bookstore (with one hour and 13 minutes to go) for the new Harry Potter. Maybe I’m too old to get that excited, I’m still pretty stoked.

The run in Tacoma is over now, but if it comes to where you are, I highly recommend it. It’s like a cross between a Broadway play and a monster truck rally, for BBC fans.





Ethan’s First Stop-Motion Movie

It’s a little bit crude and jumpy (I couldn’t find the quick-release plate to my larger tripod, so I used my undersized tripod).The story was Ethan’s idea. I took the shots while he moved stuff around. The images were glued together in QuickTimePro and edited in iMovie.
