DeeZone.com is a personal blogging site about stop-motion animation. The goal is to document the process of developing specific projects / stories and the related skills or “how-to“ that are involved in the craft of film making specific to “stop-mo”.
Darren Douglas Lee or “Dee” is a crazy boy who has developed a thing for stop motion animation. It’s been about ten years since studying Creative Graphics at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design and Business Administration/Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Brunswick.
Figure drawing and painting have always been a passion of his. An interest in the human form lead him to training at the Vancouver Film School in traditional cell / 2D animation. Further investigation at long last lead to a course at VanArts in stop-motion animation.
Combing an interest in designing and physically constructing objects to create a world that can be animated proved to be the ideal combination. This site is a “living” document of the exploration of this ideal.
You can contact Darren at “dee AT deezone DOT com” if you have something profound to say or perhaps some dirty pictures you’d like to share.
PS - Isn’t it funny to write about oneself in the third person??

Love the about page Dee!
And yes it is weird to write about oneself in the third person. Jessica tends to flip-flop from herself to oneself to I.
That is the best description I have read on how to explain an artists blog.
Nice writing!
