Halloween Cam Update
August 8th, 2010 by John Wolfe
Shy of about three days, the Halloween Webcam has been focused on my garden every night for the last month. Though I originally planned to keep it there until Halloween, I’ve decided to move the feed back to the workshop again. I’m making the move for a couple of reasons: one being that I’ve had some requests to show my prop work in real time, and another being that my camera doesn’t seem too happy staying focused on the garden for ten hours straight.
The webcam actually tends to have a few hiccups when I work it that hard, so I’ve decided to give it a little vacation. After getting some rest, it should be up and running in the shop by the 20th of August. I’ll post a reminder update on the 20th for anyone interested in checking it out that evening.
The image in this post was lovingly inspired by Autumnforest and Goldie. Both recently accused me of being a tease when it comes to showing prop progress, so I had to prove they’re right by including a teaser photo of the Angel of Death. After all, the first step is admitting you have a problem: My name is John and I’m a prop tease. 
Though I’m going for a very emaciated look this time and his shroud will cover the majority of his head and body, there’s still a lot of mache work to be done. But, I honestly feel I do my best work as I know I’m getting closer to a deadline. Whenever there’s the slightest hint of fall in the air, I start kicking my prop work into high gear.
