This week I created (the first scene of) a short film with puppets. I discovered that making stuff in the physical world has a lot more constraints than making software does! With software, I can copy code from StackOverflow or ChatGPT, but there’s no equivalent shortcut to set up a filming studio, create costumes, learn how to animate a puppet with my hands, and film and edit. I’m posting this week’s update well into Week 3, as I ran behind schedule and a number of things blocked my process. It was a really fun process though!
