We used to draw different sequences on paper, than roll them on a pencil, let the papers out and roll them fast and this is exactly what it looked like 😁 I guess this was how the beginning of film making looked like.
Don't even mention the days getting shorter as that is killing me. I have darkness outside and having only a few hours daily at your disposal makes life more difficult. I hope it's better at your end of the world, although, if I remember correctly, I don't think so 🙁
