Stuart Pettie: Huzzah! (And Beware of the Dragon!)

Well today i finally got off my arse this week (been really tired from all the work i did last week) and headed off to St. Giles Cathedral on the royal mile to meet up with the ministers secretary to discuss my animation for dynamic communications. It went very well and they gave me permission to do the work , so long as i dont post the animation on any public viewing websites (that includes here unfortunately, so anyone wanting to see it can ask me and ill send you a copy)
So while i waited for my trusty camera-man Dechlan, i did a bit of drawing

This is the really cool organ they have on the right side, thought it would make a great line drawing but alas it was far too detailed for me to finish before my camera-man arrived and we could begin working.

So thats a rough overview of the storyboard i had created for the animation, and in a much shorter space of time than i anticipated (only about an hour and a half) we had enough i believe (and hope) in order to do the animation. So now all thats left is to actually combine all the images in the way i have planned and get the show running!

In the last scene of the animation, our lego hero is seen to be building a church of his own.

However, what we do not witness in the animation is the shocking story that unravelled in this lego mans quest. Lego bricks aint cheap (even a 1-square block proportionally in comparison to the lego man would be the equivalent to a bulky TV to us) so in order to cut back on costs, used bricks from his own house. Demolishing it in the process.

This unfortunately led to the death of our Lego Hero's love, as she was crushed by a falling balcony.

Bereft of his loved one, he continued on his quest to build the church, but alas, ran out of useable bricks upon his own land. And still in a state of shock and despair, set about stealing his neighbours blocks too!

But this angered the neighbours pet dragon greatly, as the removal of his chamber walls interrupted his slumber!

They fought long and hard in an epic battle, but in a move to end all moves, our Lego hero-turned-renegade took forth what life-energy he could from all the living things around, and fed it into one giant blast of pure energy.

This proved to be too much for the dragon to handle, and so he fell at the hands of our Lego man, and defeated he lay, helplessly watching his lego bricks taken from him.
