Hi Adam,

Thanks for visiting my blog and your comment.

You can see my posts about making of the tree here: http://www.yazsfilm.com/?cat=5

In short, I used wire to shape the trunk and brances. Covered branches with newspaper and then masking tape. When I was happy with the shape of tree, I covered whole first with foam glue and then wood glue-plaster mixture. Painted with acrylic. I made leaves one by one by cutting some fake leaves got from florists and painting each. I posted everything in detail and you can those posts through the above URL. Let me know if you need more information about any of the steps.

I love this site!

How did you make the tree? I want to make really realistic trees for my diorama scene and some tips would be great. maybe oak trees?

Hi Mike, thanks for stopping by and checking out the process of my film here. Yes, I understand what you mean. I am used to using Canon for still photography and getting used to Lumix is taking some time. Thanks for the encouragement here! It was little easier for me to adjust Lumix when I used couple days ago for a walk test. But still I need some more experience with it for better results. Thanks!

Looked at your work for the first time 10 out of 10 you must be very pleased.A word to all those
who have bought the fz50, stick with it and your results will improve if you put the effort in as we can see with this top class animation. I took the tests by the Royal Photographic society with my lumix and boy am i smug. Keep on your are doing fine work.

Hi lepetitdoodler! Welcome to my blog
Background painting is acrylic on canvas. I made the canvas here by covering white cotton fabric with wood glue. You know, it is regular oil or acrylic painting canvas.
Sky is all gray, black and white. I used a sponge to paint these clouds. No brush here. Just big sponge. Painted from darker color to lighter ones. Dry painting with white was the last step to get the fully white sections.
To be able to “paint” with the colorful lights, I did not use any color on the background rather then grays, whites, blacks.
Thanks again for checking out my blog. Best!

Hi Yaz,
I’m new to comment, but I just had to when I saw these shots. SO beautiful.
Was wondering what material you used to paint your sky background on. Also what kind of paint did you use? SO amazing. You are an inspiration!
