Quiet on the set!

Wow! Yesterday was the day of the big shoot, (as in shoot a movie.)
About two months ago, my friend, Stephen, finished a script to a short film. Stephen, the Director, and his Assistant Director, Eric, have been coming over to my house since about a month ago to go over me story boarding it. My brother, Matthew, was the star of the short film. It was great being on set of the final project with all these real actors, Cinematographer people, and a Make Up Artist. I have actually been working on the story boards for this for at least the past four posts I've done on here.
This summer be looking for Maverick from Sunrise Pictures.

Well, I'm actually posting this because it was an amazing experience, and because I have a sore throat and typing is about all I can do.
Don't worry, I'm sure with Stephen's permission I'll get some story board drawings on here.

Haha.

Swine Flu!!

This week for school I was reading George Orwell's Animal Farm. It is a pretty easy read, but the main topic of the story is Communism. Orwell basically takes Communism (or in the book Animalism) and puts it into a context of animals on a farm in England. The animals of Manor Farm decide they don't need their old masters, the humans, anymore and run them off the farm. The pigs are the leaders of the rebellion since they are the smartest and most cunning of the animals. Eventually, the animals start to see that their leaders aren't all they're cracked up to be after they go against all the "7 Commandments" that they set up at the beginning of the rebellion. And as we know, Communism, or Animalism is a terrible business. The pigs rule with an iron fist! (See above)

The best character in the book is Benjamin, the Donkey, (for obvious reasons) and because he is just like Eeyore. Once the pigs decide to make a windmill for electrical purposes. When they ask Benjamin he replies, "Windmill or no windmill, life will go on the same way it always has. That is-badly."

Well, the terrible epidemic is upon us! No one shake hands. No one go out in public! No one, get worried about this... Yeah, I seem to recall a certain, "Bird Flu" that hit some years back and how it was a "terrible epidemic". Sure, it might have been bad, but an epidemic? I think not. Well, as far as I'm concerned, I think the media has nothing else to do. Break outs like this are just what they are looking for! If they are really concerned about swine problems, how has Wienerschnitzel lasted so long?

I think a real pig problem to watch out for is Animalism. I hear it is on the rise.

Super Studs.

Well, only a couple of these guys were "epic failures". Since I had nothing else to post however, you are stuck with these guys.

I actually was drawing a lot in the month of April but not all were the worthy for me to take a picture it and put it on here.

Well, I would have posted these when I drew them; nearer to the time of my last post. But my Internet has been blocked by parental controls. Which I wouldn't mind so much if it would let me get on here, or at least check my email. So, if any of you have emailed me in the past two months. I might not have seen it.

As my friend commented in the last post, a lot of things have been going on. I got my braces off! I actually got them off before I posted that last drawing on here. But, I haven't been able to get on the Internet. Now I gotta' get a new benscomix drawing.

Cow meat, Zebra.

Sometimes my friend, Holly, and I will pick something to draw, then we each do our own rendition of it. We decided upon a cow and a zebra. I thought, "Ha, I can't draw cows, this will be easy enough!" Actually, this drawing is just about the first thing that popped into my head when I thought of drawing a cow. What can I say? I'm a teenager. And besides, what else are cows good for than Milk shakes and Burgers? What else do cows do? Stand there and cause global warming, perhaps? Well, I think the more burgers there are, the less global warming issues there will be... and the more lunches too.

Though it might help my burger thoughts that my friend, Colin, started working at In N' Out recently. I think I have gone there more in the past few months than ever before.

Wait, now that I think about it. Anything you do more than once is doing it more than before because you are just adding to what you have already done. Wow, I have just stumbled upon an epiphany. I wish I could get an epiphany to how to spell an Epiphany. What would I do without you spell check!

3-D!!

I have gone from flat to animated to now, 3-D! Now all I need to do is Animated 3-D.

This was actually a fairly simple process, I simply took one of my cartoons, put it in the Wanka-Vision machine... and ...April Fools.

Ok.

I used Model Magic by Crayola, and stuck some pieces together. I'll post my other one I made yesterday in a while. I still want to paint the other one.

So, there you have it. Now I will go off on April Foolitees.

This is one of the few days that I miss the fun in going to public school. Pranks. True, I can do them to my brothers, but since we're all under the same roof, one is bound to see you setting up something. True, I used to try back in my more simpler days of childhood. How many do we remember? One or two? And that is mostly because they didn't work.

April Fools is pretty much one of the best holidays, and yet I spend it on the Internet, doing school, playing music and doing nothing! Just like everyday.

But I'm not bitter... April Fools.

It's Alive!!

I wanted to make an animated short. So, I drew 38 frames on peices of tracing paper. I brought it over to my friend, Colin's, house and he did all the technical stuff. Over all this took about 7 or 8 hours for 4 seconds. Enjoy!
