This was the last exercise for the semester. Rotoscoping. We used Flash to trace over the video. My original plan was to do the whole song. Time and sanity problems ensued, so I settled for a verse.
For some reason, I’ve been hearing the term “risk taker” thrown in my general direction all semester. This is kind of odd, as I really don’t think of myself that way. I like to live with the delusion that I’m normal. My favourite “risk taker” comment had to be during my media review though, when the head of department called me a risk taker because my animations consisted of puppies and plants, as opposed to, well, puppies and plants not ending well (the creators of Saw graduated from this course, after all… in fact, Leigh Whannell was studying back when I was studying for my last degree in the same building, and I had a bit of a crush on him…). I must admit, it was a deliberate move on my part — I see so many people in this course going for shock value, or doing stuff just because it’s cool to do blood and guts or whatever, and it just gets old after a while…
Again, the music in this one is from The Happies.
I will destroy Leigh Whannell.

lol indeed! maybe your next project could be a game where the two battle it out with apple computers, amps, and flying tofu pies amongst the available weapons…
