Storyboard for a Short Film on YouTube


This is something I worked on with some friends last year. They’re due to start shooting it in May having secured some funding, so I popped it up on YouTube. I’m going to put up the trailer they made when I get my hands on it, and hopefully the finished short. It’ll be interesting to see the page-to-screen process.
As for the storyboard, it was rattled out over a few meetings. The actual storyboard is here, but I fancied seeing how it read with transitions etc. I scanned each frame, put them together in Windows Moviemaker and dropped some music over it (Aphex Twin and Matrix soundtrack respectively!). It only took about half an hour and there’s no dialogue but it really helped to see it moving, even in this limited way.
I’ll be posting more about the film as it progresses.

Catching Bird Flu on the Internet…

bird flu aggregatorMy earlier post on peace-keeping chickens has shown up on a bird flu aggregator. It’s an ill wind that a Google Adsense entrepeneur doesn’t make an aggregator out of to make a killing on modern paranoia. And I’ll bet that they make an avian killing on this one. It’s dripping with the paraphenalia of paranoia: face masks for your kids, supplements, and, um, DVDs. Which reminds me of a joke I just made up:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Well it couldn’t because the road was full of people who were statistically more likely to die from road traffic accidents than bird flu.
Boom boom. Buck boock.
