Idiots and Angels

Southbank student Frank pointed out this new stuff from the awesome Bill Plymton. Bill is the man, I had lunch with him once at the Morningside RSL.... really I did!

I like the graphic style. The music is fantastic. The camera angles and depiction of wind are very meaningful.

I also had just watched JoJo in the Stars (the BLOG item under this one) and it seems that contemplating falling is a story contemporary theme.

I think Mr. Plympton could edit the stuff he has already back to a point before the angel goes bad and moons the jumbo. Then he'd have a nice story.

But is that the point? Human nature taking over? What did you have for lunch at the RSL?

Yes I'm finishing my dialogue assignment - just tracing inbetween bitmaps at the moment.

Steak and chips of course, what else is there to eat at an RSL.

There is a picture of Bill visiting us at Oska, but I can't find a copy. Maybe Mark, Heidi or Lisa have one they could post. Anyway it was grand :)

I'll back you up Ian...I've got a photo at home somewhere of all us with im :-) gimme until tonight and I"ll post it up unless someone else beats me.

and yeah, steak and chips at the RSL. Full of vitamin....ah, let's face it they aren't healthy.

I like how it starts off saying "If David Lynch had done animation, this would be it".

David Lynch has actually done animation. He created a series of shorts in Flash called Dumbland. They are bad. So horribly bad that they can only be some sort of absurdist Dada art. Which is cool by me.

I could understand why Bill Plympton tries to pretend they never existed though.

Don't worry Cassie someone will find it on a video website. It's worth watching.
