While I was doing today’s comic I kept thinking about how cool it would be if I could make a little stop-motion animated film for real and post it on the site.
Then I realized I don’t have a camera that I can use to capture images one frame at a time or a program to string them altogether. Hell, I don’t even have clay!
But here’s the next best thing. I think you guys will get a little kick out of it.
I actually think Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit looks really good and I’m kind of amped to see it this weekend. I don’t know where we’re going to squeeze it in between In Her Shoes and Waiting…, but I’ve really enjoyed the previous Wallace & Grommit adventures (Academy Award winning adventures, I might add!) I also really liked Chicken Run when that came out a few years ago. Really anything that Aardman Studios puts out has just this wonderful spirit to it that just tickles me. Maybe because it’s a British important and this kind of thing just seems so… I dunno – quaint in their hands.
I don’t have a lot of insight about the film other than I’m sure it will be an impressive technical accomplishment and I’ve pretty much convinced myself that I’ll have a great time sight unseen.
Still messing around with the site layout in the aftermath of the Dayfree-to-Boxcar switcheroo (which is getting all kinds of press in our circles, much to my surprise). You’ll see the mailing list form is kind of competing with the Webcomics List information. If you guys have any design suggestions, I’m all ears. Just thought I would let you know I’m in a receptive mood.
That’s it for now. Happy Wednesday!
Do you guys remember last Wednesday’s comic where I was talking about Wallace & Gromit and how cool it would have been if I could have made a short stop-motion animation film for you guys to enjoy?
Well, I didn’t have the resources at my disposal, but I’m lucky to have well-connected and creative friends.
After reading my blog on Wednesday, my good buddy Jared took it upon himself to create his own stop-motion picture for you guys and it’s totally awesome. I didn’t ask him to do it. He just had the itch to do something really cool for you guys.
