Day 6784

Camden trips are always fun, Flash animations that won't export on the other hand are not.
So yes, yesterday I was off to London with a few friends, a couple were hungover and not feeling too great but aside from that ( and the mild rain ) It was good fun. One thing that can not be unseen is the detail of the male horses...Brain bleach needed muchly!  It turned out to be a wee bit more expensive than I'd hoped but ah well.

I got new poi also! Which was cool so hopefully will be using them more :3 That said... They are white, so... Yes aha.

Today I have been trying to make a flash animation. It is both relieving and annoying when you find a solution for a problem that you have literally spent hours trying to sort! Why couldn't I have thought of that earlier D: ? Ah well, I won't be having that problem again.

And also today, my boyfriend has started his first day at a weeks trial for a job. So, good luck to him :) Wonder how it went aha.

But yes Prickalo and Dewliet the tale of two unfortunate hedgehogs. I'm not entirely sure this will be an animation I'll be completing but we shall see. I'll be posting a link in the next couple of days, and if I don't then it shall probably never be finished.


A playthrough of the story - which shall probably make no sense to anyone other than myself but oh well. :L


- Sun slowly setting over a back garden, the words "Prickalo and Dewliet" Appear in old fashioned text off center on the screen.
- The camera Zoom in on a pile of leaves by the back door
- Lo and behold a hedge hog comes slowly out of the pile nervously hiding inside his little den each time one of the disturbed leaves from said pile fall to the ground.
- BUT THEN a shadow appears by the door and it begins to open, each time pushing a little further on the pile with more force as the person tries to open the door.
- The person emerges and looks around for what was blocking the door,  seeing nothing he pushes it wide open sending the poor hedgehog tumbling out into the garden.
- The hedgehog tries to hide but there is no where to blend into, soon a pair of gloved hands reach down and take him from his home, placing him in a box,  as the box lids close everything turns to darkness
- Looking through the hedgehogs eyes the new setting is revealed at first appearing blurry but after a few blinks the inside of a car is in clear view.
- We then view the hedgehog looking longingly out the window, the reflection of a city turning into woods going by.
- Zooming out we see the car travel onto a dirt track road, stop for a moment, then speed off with a cloud of dust, leaving behind a box,
- The hedgehog looks out of the box, and a small white butterfly will land on his nose, his eyes will blink a morse code message, and he will then blow the butterfly away ( Hint, this is a lotr ref)
- He closes his eyes and sleeps, dreaming off home, wear a hedgehog with a dew covered petal in her hair is frantically looking around, when she can't find her husband a single tear wells in her eye and falls
- As it falls the dream scene fades and the drop lands on the male hedgehog, he opens his eyes and looks to the sky to see rain clouds looming and the occasional rain drop heading down. And above the clouds a birds shadow coming closer
- The hedgehog looks for cover and runs to the nearest shelter, just as a birds claws swoop past his head he makes it into the "forest" ( bushes)
- The rain subsides and a glint catches his eyes in the darkness, as he goes towards it the light seeps through and a treasure trove of bugs glistening and shining appear, he leans towards them wanting to stop and feed, but as he pushes a leaf away ( that just happened to be there) He notices a rain drop on the leaf and has a flash of his wife's hair accessory and speeds on past to the next obstacle
- A lake in the middle of the path ( a big puddle )  he grabs a leaf in his mouth from a nearby plant, curls onto his back and using the leaf as a sail and his body as a boat drifts across to the other side.
- Finally after trekking up a large muddy hill he makes it up, now covered in dirt he has to cross the road in front of him, it's getting dark and the car headlights startle him as he starts crossing the road ( Car won't see him till last minute because he's all muddy) , he gets knocked and rolls all the way to the other side, where he lies motionless. But not dead just dazed.
- Finally he awakens by a small ray of moonlight that falls on him, making it back into the suburbs near his house a cat appears and he goes all ninja/kung fu arms, then just as the cats paw comes down he curls back up into a ball all spiked up, the cat runs away, slightly limping what with the spiked paw and all.
- he continues running towards his home, passes some flowers, stops and goes back and takes one in his mouth, then goes under a fence hole and into the garden, then through a flower pot into a small opening in the leaves. ( his home) He drops the flower to the ground and looks around.
- there is no female hedgehog there D: Nuuuu
- Rewinds time back to when the female hedgehog has just cried her tear, then hands loom down and put her into a box, she goes off into the car on the same journey, but its darker now, and as the car swerves she sees a hedge hog get hit, and roll and to her eyes die.
- as she is put in the box in the field, everything turns to silhouette and she grabs a spike from her back and just as she's plunged it through her chest ( to kill herself ) the camera pans up to show the moon.

Then end.
