Staging the scene for storytelling

I’m starting to get comfortable in the editor and am now learning to use Pegasus to make small movie clips with animation.

This was my take on a “Get Well Soon (or else…)” card – as I am testing different lightning, fog and post effects.

My next hobbyist project is the creation of songs and scenes for the RPG I am running with my now adult kids and their friends.

The songs are made with Suno.com and I am using Unity to create dioramas and build my own DM toolkit.

Halloween is coming – and the song is already done. The film for it takes a lot more time, but animations are coming.

Lyrics

Deck the halls before tomorrow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
We’ve sworn the Lady all to follow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ready tools and load the wagon
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Or to lunch turn for our dragon
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

From the graveyard corpses borrow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sneaky be or folks will follow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
If they do it is their sorrow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
They will never see tomorrow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Steal from where graves are shallow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Not from where the soils been hallowed
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Cut them down from nearest gallow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Swiftly act, return to shadow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

The road here, rumored, full of dangers
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
It’s weird, ’cause we found only rangers
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Their bodies now stacked in our chambers
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Now walls we paint with blood from strangers
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Fill the halls with screams and crying
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Spies from outside will soon be prying
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Candles made from people frying
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Scrolls from skin, no point denying
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

The witch hunters were all mistaken
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
None will leave, their legs now shaking
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Their spells all fail, their shield is breaking
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Soon they’ll face both pain and aching
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Set ablaze that fair young maiden
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
From the last night’s village raiding
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Bring her parents close in chain
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Soon they’ll join to feed the flame
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

That druid swiftly changed to sparrow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
But our exit was to narrow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Old wound hurting, knee and arrow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Soon we’ll feast upon his marrow
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Steal the butchers bloody apron
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don it for our ghastly matron
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Soon the old one will awaken
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
No more will we be forsaken
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

I hear the wagon, guests arriving
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Some for the feast will need reviving
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
The mentally disturbed are thriving
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
The undead legion now is jiving
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
