"The Animated Fog Stories Diary."

I thought it would be nice to start a diary. It won't be funny, it won't be a paperback best seller, and go on to make a girly film with Geri Halliwell singing the soundtrack... it's just a bog standard diary. I'll try and update it as much as I can, to show you the progress through the animation.

Why?

Because I can.

Of course, anyone else contributing to the animation, such as Pb, are very welcome to add to it... perhaps we could pile it together at the end, fling it on a DVD, and call it a 'Special Edition', even though it's utter crap.

First of all, if you haven't seen this pic yet, perhaps now is the time to do so.

What I'm basically doing first, is creating all the characters, faces, arms, bodies... so on. I first sketch them in my drawing pad... and then draw them on pc, from what I made.

That was the early Sheepy on the left, and Sniper on the right... unfortunatly, because I smoothed out the face too early, I had to start it again. All it takes away is time though, it will still look the same.

I've nearly finished Sheepys head now, including hair... Fancy a look?

No?

Ah well.

I'll at least give you the choice.

The mouth will need to be made properly, and the eyes could be tidied up...

Apart from that, pretty good I think. It's the first time I've done hair, and I think it looks ok.

Here's something for you to do though... I'm not sure wherever or not to give him ears. I personally don't want to, basically because it's hard, and I'm lazy.

One thing I'm worried about at the moment is lip sync... it's not going to happen. If you have this wonderful vision of all the characters speaking perfectly, get your brain brush, and scrub them clear. You'll get a lovely *mouth open-mouth closed* movement. No more, no less.

And that concludes todays update. I've drawn Ant already, so I may start him tommorrow... or I'll start Sniper again. If you have any ideas, or comments, please put them forward.

Please do.

Okay Grix I sense an air of sarcasm around that last post and didn't see a :) so I am taking that as an insult....:(

(Well let me see...)

(Let's count the characters in the story...)

(Hmmmm, not that many. Actually, only about eight.)

(And... what's this? They're mostly notables?)

(That wouldn't have anything to do with them being around for a long time, would it?)

(Who knows.)

So all the good notables and the other "notable" are going to do the voices. Good luck adn make sure to tell me when it is finished.....

Sniper's guide to Austrailia.

well aussie has weather like the UK anyway but cheese aussie speakig people

Grix Thraves says:
I see.

Yeah, it was the first ever story we did.

I am thinking of, for helping with the voices:

Me, Pb, Ant and Meka.

I doubt anyone else would be that willing to help. I'm not really sure about it...

*places foot on chair, hand on knee*

But by God, I'll do it for the stories.

Was this one of the stories Grix? Did it feature Darth Sheepy by any chance@

Don't expect to do all the voices yourself

who else do you have in mind?

I need to talk to you about that. I was reading the story again last night, and some of the dialogue makes little sense, so it may have to be changed a bit.

Don't expect to do all the voices yourself though Pb, I'm sure we can get some people to help.

There may be a slight...very slight...chance that I'm on the net tonight after 9pm. I may also start some dialogue for the Star Wars story.....

I never hold my b-
