Dancing In Japan


Why dance in China when you can dance in Japan? Dancing in Japan has almost nothing to do with dancing. It is about a girl (my sister) and a boy (me) who are in school when an enormous earthquake happens. The camera is bonked around a lot before the earthquake stops. Then the girl and the boy (I haven't made them names yet), run away. When they come back, the school is in tiptop shape. But then the girl's cat vanishes. So they have to look for it. They split up and the boy decides it would be fun to light a fire. After several tries he succeeds. But then he burns the forest down. Smart. Then they run away from the fire and the last thing they see is the girl bouncing on the trampoline. That is how it ends. Great ending, huh?

Hansel and Gretel; Should I, or Shouldn't I?

I planned to make my own version of Hansel and Gretel but I might not since the outlook is quite grim in the video actually filmed department. I might; and I might not, we will see.

Randy Is Puzzled


Here's the image of Randy when the fishing pole flies out of his hand.
Nice, huh?
Check out the full picture by scrolling down, (it's down there somewhere).

Beasts


Beasts is a short film about two girls who are forced to go to a ball by one of the girl's father, who turns into a werewolf. The girls think that Mr. Wolf will give them shelter. They are wrong. They run away and go to the ball even though it's awful.

DSA: Takes To The Air! (Not Just Worm).


DSA: Dragon Slayers Academy is a movie that is based off the books. Worm, a dragon that the two main characters Wiglaf and Angus hatched, is pictured left. Isn't he cute? I modeled him and his eggshell in Cheetah3D. As he grows older, he looks less and less cute. It's too bad. Worm is always growing and saying, "Wormm come to mmummy!" and because the unfortunate Wiglaf is the "Mmummy" he has to care for Worm.
Angus is able to have direct eye contact with Worm, therefore, he is able to train him better then Wiglaf can.
I had the idea for making Dragon Slayer's Academy. I kind of regret making it because it's not something I'll be able to start filming in a while.
But at least none of the characters are stop-motion animated. That way thing will go faster for everybody.

The Maze


The Maze is about a girl who goes into a maze and has to find her way out again. She comes across a shadowy figure and runs away from it; she sees the dreaded Tiepitum- a creature with many heads and many eyes, and finally, she sees a beating heart in the center chamber of the maze. The thing is- its got a plot and blah, blah, blah but it has the same problem as with Adventure to Pluto, Mattimeo and all those other films that include stop-motion: I don't want to do stop-motion anymore; I am not into it. Problem, No? I am sorry I cannot fix it.

Being a Ghost


Boo! Being a Ghost is a fun-filled ghost movie that takes place in our house. (Not a surprise!)
When ghosthunter Malenda Popkins inspects the old, rotting house she is investigating, she runs into a whole lot of ghosts. First- Graves, a farm ghost, then Yards Gone, who is a practical joker, then- Luna Moon, a mysterious ghost, and then, finally, Reckless, a ghost who was murdered in his pajamas. Every ghosts she encounters doesn't scare her in the least. (Even Yards Gone.)
I am happy to say that Being a Ghost is on DVD.
