Talkie Walkie

OK - so this week we start working with dialogue, which is a HUGE can o' worms, but one I'm very eager to open. So to start, we had to pick 3 lines of dialogue from movies that we'll animate for the rest of Class 3. I narrowed these down from 6 possibilities (lines from Spalding Gray's monologue Gray's Anatomy, the film version of Noises Off!, and the cult unknown Biggles: Adventures in Time were the three that didn't make the cut.)

I don't yet know which one I'll be animating - that'll be up to which one my mentor thinks will be the best choice. The first and last are from Hot Fuzz, and the one in the middle is from Catch-22.



And here are the thumbnail drawings I did to plan out the animation for each. Like I said, only one will be used - and I'm hoping it'll be Clip #3. I could really have fun with that one.

I also have a final revision of the Pantomime assignment:



I also had simultaneous disappointment and joy this week. The disappointment: Quaker Oats has discontinued manufacturing their Cinnamon Sugar Chewy granola bars - the only ones on Earth that didn't contain something I'm allergic to. However, the joy is much better - I discovered this week that Entenmann's donuts do NOT give me a migraine! So even though I'll have to tough it out in a world without granola, I can now eat donuts again! I can put this up there with the soy American cheese that doesn't give me a headache either. Now all I need is a fake peanut butter (and some of my sister's homemade jam) and I may be able to start living like a normal person for once!
