My Highly Incompetent Chef

Apart from the slight wibbling and wobbling in his body when shaking the pan (I had some issues with resizing him properly after importing the scanned images), I'm happy with how he turned out. :-)

The Strange Tale of the Crack Fox

I was busy reliving the 3rd season of The Mighty Boosh today, and found a nice little morsel of animation to blog- namely the story of the most infamous character of all... the Crack Fox. I just love the artwork by Noel Fielding, and the effect of the realistic grass layer as a backdrop.
The Crack Fox has to be one of the most unsettling characters ever created... he's just all kinds of wrong. God love him.

Mine Stickman

I finally decided to post my very first animation, which I made last year. I'd only just downloaded iStopMotion on my Mac and was keen to see how the program worked. So this stickman was really only intended as a short test, but I guess I got a bit carried away..
Remember, first attempt here! This was before I became aware of the Principles of Animation (thanks Frank!), so of course there's all sorts of things wrong with it.
Still, it took a lot of work- those are 800 individually-cut frames of greaseproof paper, people! I didn't have a light-box at that stage and I needed a transparent medium. But hey, it's all a means to an end, right?
:-]

The Diapered Desperados

Well I be happier than a weasel in a hen house, it's finished!!

:-D

Notes On Biology

Awesome animation clip from YouTube. It takes a while for the action to kick in, but it's so worth it- unbelievably clever stuff. I can't get enough of 'Robot- Elephant', cracks me up every time!
