NO SNOW FOR YOU finished

And here it is.

NO SNOW FOR YOU

'NO SNOW FOR YOU' is a sketch about a little girl who wakes up to find that it is snowing. She rushes to the window, then to the door to put on her coat and scarf and shoes. She runs outside only to find a nasty man (preferably with a cape - but maybe dressed as a) a headteacher or b) a caretaker) with a massive bag of salt, scattering it onto the virgin snow and laughing manically. Bastard.

Frank's Video Blog

Created by Josh, this idea is intended to be a stop-frame claymation of a man sitting at his computer, gossiping and generally discussing everything ever.

Topics:
- MySpace
- His neighbour (who looks EXACTLY like him)
- A 'best lawn' competition (which his neighbour wins)
- His wife, who he believes to be cheating on him (probably with the neighbour)
- 2 Girls, 1 Cup ("What's this? '2 Girls, 1 Cup'...")

This is what the man looks like so far, as sculpted by The Jones.

Genital Awareness

A-ha! While we were sitting around talking, the topic of genital awareness arose. As it does. This evolved into a group discussion on what would happen if a baby got genital awareness during its own birth. And so this sketch was born.

A pregnant woman is lying in bed, huffing and panting while nurses stand around looking worriedly between her legs. There is a close up on her 'opening up' (shall we put it?) and a babies head popping out. The baby blinks once or twice and looks curiously around until it suddenly becomes genitally aware and starts screaming.
B: AAAARGHHHH I'VE GOT GENITAL AWARENESS!!! SHIT I'M IN A VAGINA!! I AM IN MY MOTHERS VAGINA!! MY HEAD IS IN MY MOTHERS VAGINA OH GOD PLEASE SOMEBODY GET ME OUT OF HERE THIS IS MORALLY WRONG!!!! ARRRRRRGHHHHHHH GENITALS ALL AROUND MY FACE!!! ARRRRRRRRRGHHHHH!!!!!
It flails its little arms around and eventually pops out.

Le End.

Terry Says Hush: Sweets

Yesterday we created our first 'Terry Says Hush' and here is the result. Some quotes in response:
"HAHAHAAHAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAA" - Will
"Terry-fying." (bad pun.)
"There is more emotion in that beard than in both of the lead actors. The Oscar nomination was well deserved."

Anyway, have a look, a listen, and maybe even a little grope.

Musical Permission

After hearing from El Disgustingo that you need permission from the musical artists to use their music in a film, I have been sending this rather warm and innocent email to their record labels.

Hi there!

My name is Joanna Graham and me and my friend are planning a short film half made with stop-frame animation, half normally filmed, about a girl who has imaginary friends made from plasticine. Silly, I know, but we were wondering if we could include the song ____ as part of our soundtrack. Please note, we are 16-17 year old students, so it won't be professional or commercial, though it will include full credits!
Thanks for your time,

Joanna Graham

So far, I've sent it to Tilly and the Wall, The Magnetic Fields, Beirut and the Polyphonic Spree. I'm going to stop for tonight, as emailing people is tiiiiiiiring.
