I’ve spent most of today sick in bed. Xander is sick as well, and Rob has been taking care of us all day. Because I have nothing interesting to post, here is an old video.

Down with the Sickness

Solfege
Apr 18
Xander and I have been learning a little Solfege. We sing at the piano most of the time, but I sometimes use one of Arya’s toys for a major arpeggio. This afternoon, Xander decided to show his little sister what to do with her activity table.
I haven’t decided if I want to use fixed or movable do, so right now everything we do is in the key of C.
Igniting
Mar 29
On March 14, our church hosted our association-wide evangelism conference, Igniting the Passion. Rob was asked to lead a combined choir and orchestra with people from all association churches. He had a vision for making it big, and put together an ambitious set. It all came together and it was a great night!
When I create something, I very rarely stick with the first idea that comes to mind. I made a quick logo idea for the conference in about 15 minutes, sent the file to Rob, he sent it to the organizers, and somehow an hour later it was official. I probably would have changed my mind completely the next morning, but oh well.
I’ve been dabbling in some motion graphics for the the last year. Unfortunately, I have children to raise and mouths to feed and the stinking laundry to do, so I don’t have spare time to really learn the program well – I just have a task to do and I figure out how to do it between diaper changes. After the fact, I’m usually not all that proud of my work. </excuses>
The morning of the conference, I woke up with an idea to make a loop of the logo. The flame was created using Trapcode Form and Particular in After Effects. There are over 1,600 particles dancing around in the space of about 30×40 pixels.
Train Up a Child…
Dec 5
We had a few spare minutes in the student ministry area of the church this morning so Rob, Xander, and I had an impromptu jam session. Xander loves drum sets. He gets very upset whenever we make him leave. This following video was taken from a much longer clip with the boys messing around. In the clip, they eventually settle on Satch Boogie. I think Xander has a promising career ahead of him.
