Speaking of animation, schoolmate-turned-housemate Matt pitched me an interesting challenge in the kitchen earlier tonight. Write another simple animation, he said, but rather than animate it, let's shoot it live action this weekend. Hmm hmm hmm! The plot thickens!
Naturally, my brain started somersaulting the moment I stepped outside to go back to my room. An animation at heart, but shot with people? Oh man. Does that even work? Animation allows for much more destruction and injury than live action, and it also has that ever-present Get Out Of Jail Free card: cuteness. Live human beings just can't compete with hyper-adorable creatures, if for no other reason than a lack of novelty.
Nevertheless, it's a good solid challenge, and one I'm excited to take up. Several of us have been itching to bust a camera out, and I'm exercising my writing chops a bit more every week. I'll be certain to post a link to the outcome of this challenge, for better or worse.
In the meantime, Fungus-Ridden website is up! Lots of old videos to look through, and plenty of current faves, too. Go take a peek. I double-dog dare ya.
