Puppetry

I'm sure you're all wondering how my "detective" flash is coming along.
...Not as well as I hoped.

So far I've got a few small scenes written, and even some recordings done which are mildly amusing. The story I have right now, however, has no ending, is filled with gaps and barely incorporates the side characters. It's just Lance and Skittles running around town getting into trouble. I don't feel it's worth animating as it is, and It's taking me forever to come up with a full story. To make matters worse I still don't have a decent voice actor for the Chief and I don't think I can really pull it off myself. So at least for now, this project is on hold until I finish the story or abandon it altogether.

Of course, I haven't been doing NOTHING. About 2 weeks ago I animated a small scene that I found pretty funny, which was to be shown early in the flash. Lance heads into town to look for a new recruit for the department and arrives at the city park where he finds a puppet stall with, you guessed it, John Skittles inside. I wanted Skittles to formerly have a profession that would in no way qualify him for the job. And so, puppets. :D

Only the puppet show itself is animated, everything else is static. Hopefully it'll be enough.

  1. I don't think anyone could have said it better than Lance :D That is quite frightening... And I love the puppet death.
