11 second club

I think that I am going to work on

a man in a rocking chair watching another man tripping on a tool box and tripping down stairs the cymbal crash will be flat on face. He then laughs in his chair almost tipping over backwards.

for the scene I was going for a colonial style porch.

Problems

the laughing man is only from the waist up but that is the best story I could come up with.
the two trips are only a 3rd of a sec apart and the tool box trip is a full second before it

so i am still stuck i still like the rocking chair guy i think i might go for his face reacting to the noises off behind the camera in the street.

think creatures expressons as the dpelter turbo does it's work in over the hedge.

11 second club

this is a hard one a sound effects set

the sounds are

creaking noise, creaking noise, rattly thud, dull thud, dull thud, crash, laughter, unbalanced (physically) scream (air whooshing in the background), woo scream with a hint of phew

initial thoughts
creaking noise rocking chair
the laughter followed by two screams a person laughing and then about to fall over pin wheeling their arms.
the thuds and crash have me completely stumped.

Coraline Film review

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coraline_(film)#cite_note-portmag-4

I went to see this film two weeks ago with my kids it was great.

The prime feeling was of the work of Tim Burton particularly with regard to the music. This may have been due to the writing of Neil Gaiman (the author of the story)

The film went down very well with my daughter 7 though the spider nature of the 'beldam' did give her nightmares afterwards. But when asked whether this was a bad thing she made a so-so gesture.

Some of the set peices of the film were amazing I am looking foward to watching the extras on the dvd.

I have graduated from cornwall college

I am sorry for the late posts on this blog I have been with my college course i am now going to restart this blog of my reflections on animation.

I hope that writing stuff down will encourage me to develop my skills.

It might happen.
