The New Zealand Studio

Good day team. Welcome on in. Swapping easels the morning. We're working on the dinner scene. So up close. Bring the image up here for you guys. There it is. Dropping down. Wait, let me get the angle right there. Ching ching. Now, it's got a lot of colors in it, but from the angle that you're seeing it from, a lot of those deeper tones are just going to fade into black. There's not enough funk in there. So, we add a bit more of that. And then through here, this table at the moment, it's very airy fairy. It needs a little bit more definition. And.

the characters, the characters are actually really good. It's a big scene, so you're not going to see them perfectly, but we do want to see the insinuation of each character, just a little bit of their energy. Hello. Yeah, long time no see, stranger. So, we're in the new studio today completely. And I'll be doing a lot of work here trying to get this place up to speed. If you hear airflow, well, I was trying to up that way. I was trying to get these little mites going. I'll take you around for a quick little look because we've got extraction occurring here on two.

Holes pulling out couple of liters per minute and then couple of fans pushing it through this way. So the combination of two gets air flow. We're away. But I wasn't able to figure it out completely. I was missing one of the cords. So hopefully we find it. We might not. We'll see how we go. This one here. I can do the world. The world you do the monkey. Can you do the whly bird? I can do the world. The world burn. All right, let me get those comment sections going. Good day, Jules. Lovely to see you again. Yes, I've missed you, too. And I'm sorry.

For disappearing for so long, but silver lining. We've got a pretty cool space. So, let's do that. Boom. I'll be back. I've left my paint brushes in the house. And actually, in the shed, this is a bit hotter than I expected. Give me a second. Heat. Heat. I'm going. Sorry team. Bank paint brushes now in lock. So, lot of detail on it. We might go for a bigger brush later on. Voila. But honestly, we're going to stay around these smaller ones. They're 10 mil. don't know what that is in inches, but we work in millimeters in New Zealand. So, that's us. But actually.

What's funny is when I size up the artwork, I always work in inches, never in centimeters. So there's some industries basically like art that chop and change you know you spend half your time in inches half your time in centimeters and it gets confusing they had an issue at one point too with what was it NASA or one of Elon's companies they had a rounding error and it was catastrophic roic for the for the DDD rocket. Don't remember a whole lot of details about it, but thank you very much. Now, I don't know exactly when your birthday is, Jules, but I'm.

Assuming as a total guess. It's less than a year away. I just want to say happy birthday to you too. Aloha Ste and happy new year, merry Christmas, happy holidays, whatever it is that you personally like to have. That's not rain outside. That's the extraction system pulling air through the space. So we got fans operating on that end and over here we have the extraction. So for air tunnel to be occurring. So that way the paint what I'm using here goes that way. Now we could alleviate that with a lovely lovely mic. But the issue with a mic is that you need all the.

Cords and I don't have all the cords. So, we're stuck here in limbo with the equipment, but the inability to actually use it. And that's okay. But it does unfortunately ruin the sound for you guys for now. I'm good. Welcome. Steve's birthday was in early January, so we've passed by the birthday now. it was 12th Jan and I turned a right right I think at a guess I turned I want to say 32 but the fact I want to say that means I think it's 33. I'm sure it's not 34. It must be food. But like I guess we guess could be anything.

I think someone said life's not about how many breaths you take. The amount of moments is take your breath away. Do you agree with that, Steve? Steve used to be a big wave surf. I'm sure he's very accustomed to having his tick taken away. Shelby comes in with some rough stories. The waves are just breaking and you get ragged off and things like that. I actually personally I'd never be a good surfer. Never be a good surfer. And the reason why I wouldn't be a good surfer is I'm too keen on breathing. Like I can't take a minute off. Some people I've got a friend.

Who can hold his breath for 8 and 1/2 minutes. He's going to be fine. But me, I'm not going to be fine. It's going to be a struggle. Here we are. Can you do the bird? I can do the worldly bird. I can do my feet. What can you do to worry about? If you're not watching the Wiggles, you're missing out. If you don't have kids, you're still missing out. You can watch the Wiggles without kids. It's not quite the same. Man, I like the Mel is the old one. And to chug chug a big gray car and there's a new one. .

And mobile don't know the words. Love that one bits. That's a good fun one. I thought I was in love with Miss Rachel. She was incredible. But the wiggles have a lot of, you know, you can choose your favorite. There's a bunch of different wiggles to choose from. And who's that there? Michael. Welcome on in, Michael. Michael or Mike getting my new me soon. So, we'll be back surfing. That knee has been a point of non-stop grief for you, Steve. And I'm not saying it'll ever end up in the past, but when it gets to a stage where you can go on living your life.

Beside it instead of it being in control of you, that's going to be the most incredible thing. It was a it was a thing when we met and I really hope it starts to end up as time goes by more and more in the periphery of life like those injuries never go away but you know periphery would be primo Michael like Michael like the archangel I don't think the archangel Michael went by Mike that's just my opinion like he's out there doing all his righteous things and he's praying to Michael and he says please call me Mike. I don't think it doesn't. So if.

You're going by mic, that's totally fine. Then again, do you think St. Sebastian went by? I don't think he did. He probably stayed with St. Fion. I don't know. I don't think they shorted through the names back in those days. I think they just maintained did run to someone a few years back and I asked them they have a four syllable name. I said to them, "Oh, you have a nickname. What do you like to be called?" And they're like, "My name, respect." But four syllables. I mean, ideally, they're not in a job. We have to call out them a lot. So, users.
