The PirateNinja

WEEK 14:

well folks, i really tried to learn some new stuff in Flash. Symbols, .psd File importing, Breakapart, the Envelope Tool, and ALL of it FAILED. yep none of it worked like i'd expected. Lots of Youtube tutorials and some Book Learin' and none of it answered my issues. BUT NONE THE LESS, here's the outcome.

The story? "The Brave and Mysterious NinjaPirate defends the flowers of he hill from the Evil Sea Queen and her serpent."

Laundry: in Progress

well, it's another epic premise for a 6-10hr piece. hopefuly i can pull it out of the bag for a neat little gag...

Still i Remain: Like a Fish Out of Water

Here is another short film i did LONG ago. I shot it on s8mm on a home made down shooter i made in my loft. (i cut a hole in the second floor's floor and mounted the camera on a tripod and tied the tripod to anchors i screwed into the floor). So for weeks i had to step over the tripod while going about my business! anyway, it is all paper cut outs (Artwork inspired by and done by David Ryan) on 2 planes of glass held up by saw-horses and lite by 8$ clip on lights. Again the music was done by Blaise Smith, (i should hook up a link to that freakin' genius's website soon!)
