Another (Frog) Video

The Frogs on the Christmas #1 2008

Have you ever been in the middle of something, realise that you're spending far too much time on it, but feel there's no going back? I'm pleased with the final result, but with a topical video directed at a small audience, I'm not convinced it'll get much recognition!

Video # 3

The Frogs Re-enact the Slater Family Revelation (EastEnders)

Very simple this time, but I was impatient to do another one and all things considered I'm quite happy with it. I just wanted to do an incredibly dramatic scene, because in theory, it makes it all the funnier if it's interpreted by plastic frogs.

Note: I'm not actually an EastEnders fan, but I was at the time that this episode was aired.

I think I'm going to tackle Casablanca next. Then maybe one more, as five seems like a good number. Apologies if it stops being funny before then (if it ever was funny), but I want to make the series attractive to as many people as possible (i.e. by parodying a large repertoire of types of film and TV).

My Videos

I recently decided to create a couple of my own videos, involving plastic frogs re-enacting scenes from films. The inspiration came from watching other stop motion videos, and the fact that myself and my sisters used to re-enact Bonnie's Death from Gone With The Wind when we were younger, one instance of which involved these particular frogs. In retrospect I suppose it's a bit sick, but we were young and didn't know any better. At this point in time, I suppose it's just plain twisted, yes.

I've received a number of compliments surrounding the animation, but in truth I was really just hoping to make people laugh. It's probably only humorous if you've seen the films in question, though.
