Updog - Part 01 (Stick Figure Theater)
















And on to our next piece, we are starting a multi-character shot, as previously mentioned. I spent a great deal of time this week searching through hours and hours of movies trying to find just the right bit of dialogue. I wanted something physical, super emotional and dramatic. Tears, yes, I wanted tears and hopefully some shouting. Well as it turns out, it’s hard to find a piece that encapsulates well into 10-15 seconds that is dramatic. Everything I found had such slowly delivered dialogue that in 10-15 seconds, it was hard to find audio with more than two lines in it, much less a snappy little back and forth between characters that made any sense what so ever.

So at the nth hour, I went with a clip of the American version of “The Office.” It seemed that it would fit the bill of physical, but not so dramatic. Oh well, I’ll settle for funny any day. Plus Steve Carell has a great voice to animate to. Give him a year or two and he will be in an animated film for sure, I’d bet money on it. Oh wait, I just IMDB’ed the guy to find out if I spelt his name correctly and as it turns out, he’s in “Over The Hedge” as Hammy. So I just won our little bet just now. Pay up sucka.

This movie for your perusal is the mostest basicest blocking layout anyone has seen ever. I didn’t even put their arms down. How about that for lazy! But it gets the idea across and tells me that the cuts will flow alright. And that is the whole point.

So dear reader, thank you for your kind attention. Lavish me with comments and I will see you sometime around Feburary 11th!!!

Whoosh!
