A small artist collective, one radiator and a helluva load of duct tape!

As you can see from our pictures and video we have been busy! And loving it!


You wouldn't believe how many times we have rearanged the room, taken down and put up the green screen, moved around tables, chairs and lights! But we finally got it settled and began animating with great zeal! All this despite the fact that in our excitement at our last meeting we forgot to take down detailed notes...all we wrote were about three lines on a whiteboard before christmas...and of course no one remembers much after the festive season haha! 


Anyways before this gets too rambly i shall say a few words about the photo that you can see below...


I think we have to admit...we went a bit duct tape mad..but it wasn't our fault...as you can see i'm duct taping away on the floor and there is a close up of our tripod leg looking a bit like an alien spaceship after we were finished. In truth we just didn't want the tripod to get kicked accidently and move while we were animating, so we decided to get it seriously secured! There is no way it's moving now! 


At the bottom you can see Zeb (who more recentley has been called wall-e) in pieces...we had a bit of a happy accident where we broke the screen and had to fish it back out but in doing so made a bit of a discovery..which we will reveal later in the animation process. Zeb, incase you don't know, is a Super 8 projector, who has become our favourite animation character. If you look closely you can see myself and Marianne's faces reflected in his mirror...and his eyes on the table in front of him. 


WE LOVE ZEB and we hope you LOVE him too! 


I don't want to reaveal to much so that's all for now! :) 


Peace!
