How many “Krapp” jokes can I make in one post?

It’s group project time again!

The tutor for this unit is Lizzie Oxby who is giving us advice on all aspects of puppet and set building.

I shall be working once more with Justine, Amer and Matt (but you can call us The A Team).

Together we will be promptly escaping from a maximum security stockade using a combination of Stop Motion and Flash to make a short (2 min’) film based on an excerpt from Samuel Beckett’s “Krapp’s Last Tape”.

Here is a slightly dodgy panel from our rough storyboard as drawn by the fabulous Mr Amer.

Cats, cats, cats. Fly, fly, fly.

Throw

The first animation exercise of my second year. Joy!

It looks a bit weird to me. That is a technical term you understand.

Here is  a quick sketch of my good friend Justine.

Isn't she lovely?

AniMaidstone

Sting for the AniMaidstone festival. This is the low quality version.

Paint on glass

Text and Image

Elective work, plants with animal names.

Fat Hen

SnakeRoot

Mmm, sugar wren

I spend all my time looking at silly youtube videos like this one.

Whoa mama I’m gonna smash them guinea pigs

The video is funny but the rage fuelled comment given by one particular viewer is funnier.

P.S Best props ever? Yes, yes.

Prawn

Youtube chewed this up a bit.

This is one of my animated sections from the group project I was working on with Amer, Justine and Matt, the general idea being to make an animation/animatic that drew from our common experiences.

So yeah it’s a prawn doing the washing up.
