FAT BROTHERS, FAT SISTERS

YAY For Christmas!
Last night over at Big Brothers, Big Sisters, some of us Fatkats got together and purchased a xmas tree and decorated it for a BB-BS Christmas Auction. T'is a good thing! - All sorts of companies here in Miramichi bought trees and decorated them. The trees go up for bid to whomever, the highest bidders get the trees while the cashola goes to families in need.

Now don't you feel warm and fuzzy? I know I do...

...perhaps it's this small rodent I'm sitting on. Anyway! Moving on!

Spence, Dallas, Edgar, Wanda, Tara and I grabbed a shnoogins full of Tropical decorations for our theme based tree.
Spence thought we should stick a big pinata sun on the top of the tree, what a ridiculous idea, kids think up the wierdest things I swear.

Wanda and Tara get it on with some flower thingies, they called them lays, but I don't believe them.

I'm Dallas Daigle!Edgar, upon Spence's request went and got a pinata sun, I've officially changed my mind, Spence is a genius. IT totally made the tree. He's also still a silly willy, there is no changing that!

TAH DAH!!

What a delicious tree!

Good job, we're going to get mega bucks for this thing!

FROM THE OFFICE OF MICK HARRISON

animation lesson just for you ...and everyone else
Lesson seven is about the creation of interest in your film or movie or film. in the above example you can see clearly that there is a tension in the air and the young revolutionary fellow is all too aware of his own mortality. Obviously you will be unable to summise your own story in so few lines. I am however, a proffessional of many years standing and so can instantly capture the imagination and attention of the viewer, drawing them into the story itself. Such lofty accomplishments will come in time but firstly i suggest you make a simple scene wherein a man who has recently lost his umberella on a bus (very common, making it more easy to animate). he of course purchases another, well you never know do you? On returning home he finds that his original umberella is by the door where he left it and not as he thought 'lost'. As you can see this is a straight forward, up and down premise. for added simplicity use stop motion animation and nothing but eggs. good luck

HAPPY TREE FRIENDS | WRAP UP PARTY PHOTOS

What a blast we all had last night at the Happy Tree Friends season one wrap up party. We watched 6 full segments of Happy Tree Friends cartoons made here at Fatkat, drank tons of booze, filled our bellies with grub, snagged some great HTF swag, rocked out to Montgomery Moth and then cracked up at the wild comedy from Buddy Bolton. MAN! I haven't had such a good time in a long time. I'm glad everyone took the time to attend and break out.

Buddy and I snuck into the DJ booth to hook up the DVD player.

Geremy and the gang got nasty with some colouring books, uhm, why is that pelican listening to that elephant's butt?

Matt Taylor schools some NBCC Miramichi Students that we all invited to take part in the celebration!
