Quick Post- Progress!!! Can you see it?
We're here with another week of Ship Progress.....Shel and Jeff are Kicking ass.
Shel Shapeing away.....Shes a natural.
Shes learning tons from Jeff .......our master Shipbuilder. So much so that she Has jumped right into the construction of the Flea Ship all on her own . She Drew up the scale and Shape to begin on the Flea Ship And constructed a plan of attack .
This Ship is ENORMOUS!!!
Shel's wooden center for the Wings......
She will build the Ships Footballshaped Main Body sandwiched on this like a Hamburger......Flea guy crawls all over the wings during the cartoon so they have to be strong enough and support Tie down technology.
She is eating up all the Information and creating with new tools and materials.The coolest thing about stop mo.....is that theres a jillion ways to do anything...
HUGE is the word to describe these beasts.....in progress
....FREAKIN COOL works pretty good too......Ha! 
The Quality in this film is easily going to Jump 10 times higher than our last....so completely exciting. I can see it already and this is somthing my boys are going to DIG. I'm Still storyboarding.....a couple of hours a night....I need to pick up the pace pretty soon...since I have to be done by June. I'm on a professional schedule that Shel wrote up for me....and I plan to make it.
In other News....GLD Picked up a couple more Awards!!
Woo Hoo...that brings it to 7. We won the {Best Animated short} at the Hollywood East Film Fest.

Nice work!!!!!!!
(^ well, since mayday was my birthday, I'll slow up here and wave.
(^ too bad Kitty ,Juniper and I were pulling it reclusieve when we swung downfrom seattle to anaheim to study theme parks.
(^ would have liked to meet this bunch, if only to let y'all watch my facial ticks add nuance to my fonfooozling banter . and maybe tried to hook you up to someone in tarzana who used to work at Stan Winston industries that I think would be a great contact sometime in yOUR future
Do I see toys in the future? i want one for bath time! HA. Love the designs of the ships. Exciting and amazing stuff as always! Congrats on GLD Awards and Europe exposure!
Love your work!
Thanx for tha comment.
Love the progress!
I know I've seen that blue foam stuff before, but I can't remember what it's called....
what is it called??
Thanks!
Wow, that looks like fun!
Wowzer, talk about inspiring stuff - I've been lurking around waiting for a glimpse at the ship being built and I'm loving every bit of it. Amazing work!
Gorgeous! I'm truly impressed. :D
I'm in detail mode tonight, so just take this as me being a little too OCD…
A small detail that would help sell the ship (even more) would be to add another thin layer of foam to the flat wing areas, so you could sculpt them into that aerodynamic shape that real planes use for their wings... The shape that creates lift.
Granted, it's a spaceship -- but it looks like it's built for flight in atmospheres, too. Probably no one would ever consciously notice -- but it's a detail that would get in subconsciously.
Rich is totally right, you gotta make some toys!
Man I wish you guys were funded so you could work on all this stuff full time, it's so cool looking!
hard to match your passion, guys...the ship looks cool.
fantastic stuff !
