It's just my opinion (I know you guys feel a little differently about all that physical stuff) but setting your child on fire is sure to get you a visit from DCFS, no??<br /><br />My heart swells everytime I see you guys.

Those ships are huge! I assume at some point both ships will be on screen at once, how are you planning on working with that? Paint a corner of the garage green screen? Are you going to make miniature's of the ships for action packed dog fighting scenes? Are you going to have to wear gloves so that you don't leave fingerprints on the windshield moving it every frame to move the puppet? <br /><br />It's amazing you guys have an actual schedule when you're doing this on top of day jobs, do you schedule in down time and burn out time? Afterall you're doing this when you're supposed to be sleeping, do you plan in the inevitable rebellion of your body and mind when it demands more rest? <br /><br />Good luck with the storyboards. Definitely a key part, cheaper and faster to work out problems and ideas in board and animatic then anywhere else, but I can see how it would get grueling. <br /><br />Hey I've been curious. Gerald you used replacement heads right? Polymer clay? What about the rest of the cast, like Mr. Welthington, the "clone" dialogue test looked like maybe replacement mouths, but the eyebrow's maybe wire rigs in the polyeurathane? Looks like Dober and Flea are going to be all wire in the foam? Thanks<br /><br />Keep up the inspiring work, and get some rest :PAlonsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805049234657129031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956597218098516936.post-45120352625846556812009-06-09T02:58:31.967-07:002009-06-09T02:58:31.967-07:00Totally kewl.

I am curious about the metal plates you would be mounting. Will you be heating up metal plates to give that rounded shape?? Ok... let me wait for your post about skinning. <br /><br />GLD in hotels across the US... Vaowww... another great opportunity to reach many many people.
