We needed a bushy location for a kidnapping scene in one of our short film. The story required a place that felt hidden and a bit isolated. After scouting, we found this green, overgrown spot that matched the world of the film perfectly. That’s where we shot the scene.

From one of our short films, we needed a setting that felt like the 1990s, even though we were shooting in Kampala. Finding places that still look and feel that old isn’t easy, but we came across this house and it worked perfectly for the world of our film.

A scene from the short film, Please Wait. In this shot, the character is looking straight into the camera, which we used as a stand-in for a mirror between two hostages. Both sides were filmed in the same room, with the camera placed to create the feeling of separation. On screen, it plays as two different spaces, but it was all shot from one location.

In 2025 we trained students in different districts of Uganda. That is Arua (West Nile), Gulu (Northern Uganda), Mbale (Eastern Uganda), Kabale (Western Uganda), and Kampala (Central). Later, some of the students came to Kampala for an internship on a TV series, Tatu Taps on Love. This blog shares moments from different district trainings.

We finally managed to wrap the TV series, Tatu Taps on Love during the internet lockdown in Uganda.
It was two and a half months of waking up early, long days, and pushing through despite the challenges. Now it’s done, and it feels good to say we finished. Grateful to everyone who showed up and made it possible.

Hey, my first post here on Mastodon! Allow me to introduce myself! I am a hobbyist LEGO stop motion animator and aspiring storyteller! I like good stories focused on original concept as well as great stories around already established franchises (Sonic, etc.).

I hope to gain some traction on this new platform, and some new attention and feedback on my work as a whole!

Sonic the Hedgehog is knocked back, and he catches himself, grabs his bouncing Lightsaber hilt, and dodges a jump attack from Darth Vader. Vader then uses the Force to hurl a large object (in which the camera is at the moment) at Sonic, who turns quickly to address the projectile.

Today we started shooting our TV series, Tatu Taps on Love. It rained in the morning, so we had to wait a bit before we could begin, but once the sky cleared, the energy came back. Everyone was excited for today and it turned out to be such a beautiful first day on set.

How the Universal globe logo before films was created.

The amount of celluloid chemistry in this process is mind boggling to me.

As someone somewhere else mentioned in response to this: secret to making magic is putting far more effort than anyone else reasonably would.

It seems like the entire world of film-enthusiasts came together and decided to bully one person for no reason what so ever. And that one person is Michael Bay.
