Skip skool

This is a video for a piece of music i made in around 2000 called "skip skool" . (the titles from a sample since cut from the movie  rumble fish).

Here's a little stop animation Jenny and Myself made in our Glasgow flat . Jenny made Sniff (the dog) from paper clips, bread ties and calico. Clever.
My contribution was as Director ( being bossy and pressing the camera button).
The music is chopped up and layered segments of a Bill Wells song. Bill Wells is a Glasgow Musician who has records out through Geographic. This little snippet was from the Pick up sticks LP.

test renders.

I thought I'd share a few test renderings of scenes from an animation short I've been working on. The working title is "Mr. Orchid in pea soup" The first clip is set in a tree house with Mr. Orchid caring for his sickly friend. The second shows the characters leaving their home and out into the forest. While the third scene has them trudging through a rain storm.

Thought I'd post a picture of my new work area.
It gets lovely morning sun and is next too my basil plant. Notice my cat shelf for my inks.

seal

Hopefully we will see some seals soon. They remind me of cats crossed with slugs. They are very strong and I've heard can shake penguins straight out of their skins before they eat them. It's meant to be the right time of year in Scotland to find them sunning themselves on the rocks. Aim to explore the rocky areas more. I am keen to do some pictures from my own photo's but this one is based on a picture in a book.
