Watch "Frog Family"


Okay, so as some of you may recall on this blog, I recorded the entire process (from pre-production through animation) of making "Frog Family" back in February of 2007. Then I never mentioned it again. Well, the truth is it was a concept that was floating in my head for maybe 3 years, but I never really thought I would make it due to the fact that it was a little darker than most of the material I made. But it ate at me over the years, and finally, for my own self-gratification and satisfaction I made it. It was good to get it off my chest. But it was only for me so I never really showed it to anyone (Never entered it into a festival or uploaded it online). So it's been two and a half years now and I figure, what the heck, its a minute and a half of animation I did (some difficult dialogue stuff that I'm proud of), so why not put it up. Enjoy!

(^ sigh. would LOVE to go deep into this one:

(^ like where in there are certain frogs that hatch thier tadpoles withing the mothers stomach:
and I've this LONG LONG LONG drawn out tale called Philonius and Thadmeum:
(^ at the moment , this cast off pice of yours seams more like Chronos who swallows his children till fed rocks by Gia: making his tummy upset til he spews up the gods.

(^ only dark because you got pay gigs that took the lif out of the thingy.

wait wait wait.. Teresa Willis?! dang! i remember her from the people's Democratic Republic of Iguanalnd!
thanks for the memory, from noticing a different score .
really should smirk and scrawl her again. talented poet full of angst back then. wonder how much has changed in 18 years.

Robert, I think the 'Happiness' sequel will be years from now, for now I need to focus more on taking 'Fox & Calf' to the next level, and that would def require you.

bRYEnd, I have no idea if we know the same Teresa, but it sounds like we could....
