Plans growed

posted by [personal profile] bugshaw at 06:38pm on 10/06/2008
The trouble with my brilliant plan to use the tiny clip-on koalas to perform a ceilidh dance using stop-motion animation is that the cat might try to help, and attack the koalas. Which could scatter in stop-motion, and run away climbing up curtains and stuff! I wonder if I can get the cat to pose still enough for the series of photos? Maybe I should use a toy cat instead, or maybe a dinosaur...

I think this is known as 'feature creep'.

Is the Feature Creep a dance, like the Monster Mash?

Is there going to be a stop-motion band and caller too? Which dance are they going to do?

Oh dear, it's going to have to involve stripping the eucalyptus, isn't it?

Have you explained the problem to the cats?

You know my cat Simba. Well I wanted to do a monster movie in Lego stop motion where he comes along and walks through the town.

If you tie garden canes to the cat's legs with bonsai wire, and then attach it to a piece of furniture, you can pose it and advance the motion quite successfully. Or if you are doing a period piece, dressing it in something stiff with lots of whalebone works too.

LOL! LOL! LOL!

Don't they just fall over when you wrap them up tight?

If you give them a big conical costume (like a wedding dress or a priest's cassock) you can dangle the back legs inside, and fix the upper body in place with the corset part. A ramrod up the back stops them wiggling about.
