Normally my blogging consistency is something I can be very proud of, as I’ve somehow managed to post something once a week for the last two years. But it has been three weeks since I last updated my blog! Needless to say, this past month has knocked me completely flat!

(In a totally exhausting, but VERY wonderful way!)

 

And while I’m a little embarrassed that I let things slip these past few weeks, I’m much more proud of the things I have accomplished this past month. Achievement number one being that I shot about 90% of the images for the Green Rider Book soundtrack artwork and filmed vlog footage throughout the entire process of prepping for the shoot.

Take that, inconsistent blogging!

 

So, leading up to the Green Rider shoots, there was quite a bit of prep work that went into the images I wanted to create, so as a sort of recompense for my meager updates of late, I wanted to give you a look at the vlog footage I compiled. You can see everything from the new materials I learned to work with, my location scouting excursions, and the furry friend that kept me company while I worked.

 

And while I took quite a bit of footage (because there was quite a bit of preparation), I made sure to cull through and fit all the best pieces in to just under nine minutes of video.

 

So if you have a few minutes, watch how it all started to take shape:

I’d love to know which part of the preparation was your favorite to watch. The location scouting? Or the making of the Eletian armor (which was my favorite)? Or did you love something else? Let me know in the comments below!
