Brain on toast

Today in the news a man with two legs attempted hopping over a large fallen tree. He failed and stubbed his toe.

In Broadcasting news:
Today i kept on writing the pointless script of "On location" which is nine pages now. I also updated an "About Munch" page, for whatever reason, i cant think why.
You can find it here
http://aboutmunch.blogspot.com/
With that i also uploaded a terrible picture of me which you can find here
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/munchmasterX/bitey.png
(I didn't want to host it here as i look like a grease monster.)

Also in the news today the website www.google.com are planning to buy every other website on the internet. Some believe the man who found Google, Larry Page is losing the ability to see the real world.
In a recent speech he said, "The future of Google runs down to the key elements, the colours blue, red, yellow, blue again, green and red."
He even added the "TM" to finish off.
What Larry dosen't realise is that he stepped out of the job years ago.

The lense of a smart battery charger

Today in the news it has been reported that Britian is the most spyed upon country with thousands of cameras spreading it. They think its due to all of the surveliance that celebrities have, i think we should get rid of them all.

In Broadcasting news i forgot (a while ago) to show you all (who ever reads this) my Ronald Mcdonald picture.
Which is, here

















The Original Miserable Clown which is actually copyright even though i count it as scrap.
There is a history lession on it at my Deviant Art account here

Next week we are planning and shooting another RNM production film which we'll be able to add to the small collections of films. Also one of them may lend me a microphone next monday, so that should be something to look forward too.

Also in the news today a man with one eye only saw the right hand side of the bus before it hit him, making him think he'd just about dodge it.

Back to important news:
Writing another script with the characters from Celebs in my Studio, the new script is called "ON LOCATION" with Nathan, Patrick, Adam and a new character (actor/cleaner) This is a one part script and not three like the trilogy.
I have also designed a set for Munch's War on paper, but i am also concidering changing the name :O
More news on that later.

Goodnight
and read tommorows because, remember, BOOKMARK ME

Dont step in puddles

Turtle tree!
Today in the news it is said that stepping in a puddle can cause an earthquake in the sea, although scientists deny this theory the voodoo believers are all for it.

Now I’m going to begin by diving deep into the water of a cool outdoor pool where bubbles are floating and popping around me. The fresh water is quite relaxing, so relaxing it’s deadly.

In ‘means of communication’ news today, I released another 4-pack of terrible photos. The House of Chimes 1.5 (Scrap version)

You can find this disgusting piece here

Other than that, check out the “Surrealism Vs Clocks” tale below. It isn’t the full detailed story but I’m sure there will be more to come.

The true story of Surrealism Vs Clocks

The tale

Today in the news a small man entered a library only to walk into the biggest trouble he’d ever come across. A bookshelf.

In Broadcasting news Munch’s War’s set has still NOT been drawn I am sorry to say, no more news on the Ambush Rewind and Lukai and his Castle on television whether that is to happen or not and I still haven’t got a working microphone.

But in lighter news I added a picture to my “Surrealism Vs Clocks” tale of… pictures.

The Surrealism Vs Clocks tale came from a flash artwork I did back in Australia where I explained a very rare and ancient photo had been taken.

You can find the work here
The War that gave the Surrealism artist’s around the world their knowledge and inspiration to do the art they do. When the giant army of clocks collided with the jolly Surrealism world for a battle for butterfly coffee cups and underground wine mines.

The Surrealism creatures had fought back firing lasers at them, shooting the clocks down, these left good and bad remains.

Artwork Description:









This is part of the Surrealism Vs Clocks War. When one clock was struck by a laser beam it fired down into the sea burning the sands, the creatures sadly cooked and boiled molding into bells and ringing along the sea beds and across the ocean. They rung for 3 years untill the war finally ended.
This picture was taken as the war was ending.
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42597379/
There is also an audio to go with it (not very impressive) but you can hear it here

The first photo was believed to be a time traveller’s journey, one man and his camera. Shots of the world he’d never thought to be real. Smiling snails dripping with black-current juice dead on the yellow sands as the sky darkened changing colours as lasers shot amongst them.

The second photo is one of a Surrealism creature itself taking the photo (It is believed) in a wagon boat sailing and trying to escape to the spiral hills of the Surrealism world away from the war.

The “paper” they used to write on was actually plastic, and the only ink they had was permanent. And often they didn’t have enough arms, or at least had too many to actually write on it. It is believed the photographer of the photo took it and soon after was bolted by a falling, flaming clock. This boiled the boat and the creatures inside moulding them into ringing bells which covered the whole ocean, floating over the choppy water. We know this, because we found both the photo and some bell remains fallen from space and lying motionless in one of the London streets.

In the end we believe the Surrealism creatures won the battle, but were taken aback when a giant clock formed, its golden energy frosted the planet, the planet was literally cold and shuffled in to cool itself killing thousands of creatures, the planet kept squashing in and in to get warm. In the end the planet exploded along with everything on it, even the mighty army of Clocks.

These photos are the only evidence we have, hopefully we will find more soon enough, and hopefully we have more proof.

Comedy, action, rage, romance, time travel, saturday night fever and a briefcase of $100 notes

If some of the old entries do not work scroll down and click on the archives

Today in the news a man in Ireland kept tripping over an invisable block in the street. Only after thousands of investigations and news reports did they tell us the man was a Mime.

Also in the news it is definate that the verbally challenged George W Bush is soon entering the comedian career. He may not be funny, but lots of people will turn up just to see him make an idiot of himself.

Latest Munch news:
On paper i designed the stage for Munch's WAR. I'm just trying to find time to put it into flash. Also i need to get a job, or at least do something that gets me a relevant amount of UKen cashworks.

As i speak my television screen fuzzes. It is very irritating so i am planning (in the near future) to turn it off.

Now here's a fantastic story, with comedy, action, rage, romance, time travel, saturday night fever and a briefcase of $100 notes.
I borrowed a microphone from college, and it didnt work.

Munch on TV2

In the news today a man miss read his script on a live show saying, "Whats that on the road? A head?" When it actually read "Whats that on the road ahead?"

Not too much news yet on the television show AMBUSH REWIND will be on, but there is news that they also want to broadcast the flash animation Lukai and his Castle which you can find on Munchmedia.

Check out the short fbyf tutorial below.

Tomorrow’s Another Day with Flash tips #1

Headline in the news today my light bulbs gone out so I’ve stolen someone else’s.

In the news today an Elephant named Pete was found stuck/sunk in a giant puddle of mud. Visitors including children are paying three pounds to have a ride if they are a certain height. And weight.

Now I am very confused, who are my target audience? No one is; fact. So in the end my target audience are the socks that sit on my window side. The window side above my heater, which may cause the socks to set fire. Bad place for socks this time of year.

In my original plan I was going to make a whole flash tutorial from when you press the logo. I set it all out, steps and map of features… but then I had a turn of ideas and quit that one.

I thought, maybe I will just do tips, tips for flash that I use sometimes. Similar to Adam Phillip’s missing woodblog.

So here we are; the no body who reads this.

Frame by Frame Flash Animation tips.

The Squash and Stretch trick. Learnt from the Animators Survival Kit, a very recommended book to buy. (Thanks Steven from the BFAC)

here

To make the frame by frame animation look smoother and more motion-packed the animator bends, stretches and squashes the characters and objects in the animation. This has been used frequently in many old and new cartoons. A very recent one is Chicken Little, which
although 3d animated still sticks to the traditional Squash and Stretch style.

A bouncing ball:

--- Ball's can help us with lot's of things, like timing in Animation. As it reaches the air it gets slower and the pictures get closer together and as it falls again they get further apart and start to stretch.

Person jumping:

I hope something here might have helped you.
In the end it looks quite like hes hittinghis head on the top of the screen butall in all it looks ok. here

Here is a Rabbit walk cycle I did, I rather like it, besides the jelly head.

I’m not sure if the next entry will be remarkably long and detailed but tomorrow’s another day.

Munch on TV

Today in the news the president of the United States was replaced by a plank of wood. I firmly agree to this change of position as i believe George W Bush was verbally impaired.

Also on the headlines of most newspapers today a man choked to death on a chocolate button in a cinema whilst sharing popcorn with his imaginary friend.
Head of parliment said in a press conference, "I'm personally glad the man's dead, chocolate buttons are discusting."
This has brought across many riots on 10 downing street. The priminister found a midget with a giant firework strapped to his back inside Tony Blaire's clothes cupboard. A few hours later a rumour spread the internet and the BBC news, even going across to America and Australia that there was a packet of chocolate buttons in the Priminister's front pocket. He denies the whole thing.

Also i'd like to complain about English currency. Or is it politically correct to say 'British' or 'Uken'? Why are 20 pence SMALLER THAN 10 PENCE?
This issue will never be solved.

Latest Munch News:

The college pixillation video project AMBUSH REWIND has been asked to be on a Sky digital UK Television show. The channel is Trouble or (Trouble TV) and the show, i think is called Homegrown.
I'll get some more information on that later.
If you haven't seen AMBUSH REWIND yet check it out

A Fist of view

Today in the news protests and issues are evolving on the issue of germs are gods creatures too. The crowds are planning to sue up to three companies for advertising about the deaths of 3d animated germs dieing after touching a blob of cleaning fluid.

In other news a man has built a replica of Postman Pats mail van. He says it’s attracting wild cats.

But back to the point I was trying to get at. Comedians will never get hit by a car; this is because they are so good at timing. Some will argue this will happen with any actor also. I argue that unless they have a time travelling machine or gravity binding reflexes then all together every single actor and comedian on this earth is going to get hit by a truck. The theatre went quiet after that.

I’ve heard that this country is full of people who like beating up people. The key of course is, to confuse them.

Wrong thing to do: “Oi Kid!”

“Yeh?”

“I don’t like your hat!”

(Starts terrible fight (It is not important who started it, it is only important who made it begin))

Right thing to do: “Oi Kid!”
(Looks around behind you, turns back) “Who me?”

“Yeh you, I hate your hat!”

“Oh really? Well, I’ll take it off then.”

“What? No…”

“What?”

“No… it’s just… well ok. Do it then.”

“Done, thanks for your point of view.”

“No… no wait, I hate your shirt mate.”

“Oh… well I’ll take it off then.”

“NO! NO! NO! Go on, ahead… keep walking… LEAVE ME ALONE!”

(Confusion complete 100%)

(Walk off, ipod safe in pocket.)

(Don’t try this at home)

Next week on the news: Boars are loose.

What I do need to do is work on the next Stargazed comic which hasn’t been updated since August.

Tomorrow prepare for some informative Flash steps and skills. Only a small amount because I’m not Mr. P. These will be for beginners and not for *people who already know how to use flash* or they might be, I’m not sure, we’ll just have to wait and see.

But what I do know is it’ll be Flash steps for dumb people.

Flash Steps for Dumb people.

maybe

Clockwork Oafs

On my way home from college today i spotted some glowing red and green lights, i thought to myself. Gosh, is it really that close to Christmas? I soon after realised they were traffic lights.

And today in the news someone was found with a packet of chewing gum.

Today or possibly yesterday, i lose interest. I posted some terrible photography from yours truely. I call it "The House of Chimes." I am considering taking some more of these but i wouldn't count on it. You can find these here
I favour the outside shots, the long walls and the foggy car lights. These four were the best of a selection and your thinking, "Wow, they must have been REALLY bad."













Munch's War is still in idea stages so thats.. pie. But most of it is planned, so... i guess the planning stages are finished. yay! Now down to designing, after that i'll worry about recordings, and then start animating. Then it'll be well underway.

Now i was told by a very wise oaf recently named "User posted image." The user posted the image and now it isnt working because hell has finally frozen over. I heard a while ago by another oaf that a part of it had already frozen. They'll have to start concidering heating. But back to the very wise oaf that can't be identified. He told me this blog needs to be more informative, help people... leeaaarrn. So today i bought a book on the ancient history of BLOGS.
Would you believe it?
(The guy was named Mr. P)
Chapter 1:
Doctor Charles Corn was born in 1873. Who? Who you ask? Corn? Yellow, juicy corn? The Doctor couldnt help squirt it all over someones diary. The person whos diary it might have been spat out the word BLOG! in an attempt to say the word "GIT!" but he had a terrible terrible lisp.

Chapter 2:
Pages lost to sandy winds and restless slaves trying to find food, finding the pages, and eating them.

The end.

The APOCALYPSE IS AMONG US
I think you'll be startled to find out today is the apocalypse.
You can't escape it, it wont be falling firey rocks or acid rain, no, this apocalypse comes as an evil red gas.
Luckily before it happens i found out about Damon Albarns great new band, "The Good, the Bad and the Queen. "
Damon Albarn, the singer and songwriter of the UK pop band Blur who were the best thing to hit the music industry. Bands trying to hold on, fall by them, soaring past the others and disapearing into a pit of black nothingness.
Yesterday, or possibly the day before, the band played an amazing gig live at the UK's first Electric Proms.
According to them this is just a side project, a project, on the side. Not a band as such, but a collaboration group. Their new album comes out in the first month of 2007.
This is the track list
1. History Song
2. '80s Life
3. Northern Whale
4. Kingdom Of Doom
5. Herculean
6. Behind The Sun
7. The Bunting Song
8. Nature Springs
9. A Soldier's Tale
10. Three Changes
11. Green Fields
12. The Good, The Bad & The Queen

You can currently watch them playing all of these songs live, i havent listened to all of them but the ones ive listened to, i love.
You can find them live here
The band members are
Damon Albarn (Blur, Man behind Gorillaz)
Tony Allen (Indian that thought Damon was from Oasis)
Paul Simonon (Bassist of the Clash)
Simon Tong (Guitar in The Verve)

The Blog Awards 2006

After joining the amazing adventures of Blog Spotters i have been invited to many of celebrations including thousands of thrilled blog holders.
I was sitting there with my fellow Blogs as the amazing Award ceremony begun. The Blog Awards 2006. They were going to make it 2007 but then they realised it wasen't actually 2007 yet. Genius.

I was sitting with Adam Phillips and Dave Phillips, we had front row seats. The amazing blog holders of the night. I didn't win anything but Adam couldn't help wet himself when Dave let a fish finger fall out of his mouth whilst eating dinner.

All in all it was a fun night.

As Adam is a bloggy newbie he was kicked out for making a fake ID. He also tried to sneak his friend Berny in the side gate but was beaten up by two midget bouncers.

But enough nonsence, i must tell the truth now. (This is a fictional story.)
That is all.
And now, for something completely cropey
Cropey = Not a word.

I recently found out that the writer of Alice and Wonderland (Unknown identity) was actually the inventor of the common used word now as "chortled."
You can find more information on this interesting amazingness on wikipedia, but untill then here are some words i've made up.

Bodgesack (Sack of Bodge)

Blabbytoaster (A toaster that cooks Blabby.)

Flatjack (A man named jack cooking a pizza inside a block of government flats.)

Gorp (Explains itself)

Yesterday i made a picture of a myspace band i met... twice?
The Bullet Holes

Anyway, as halloween comes, i'm not sure exactly how long really i've made a vampire comic. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41906751/
I did make one last year, so i guess it may become a halloween tradition.
Ok, and you may have seen the new website design preview, this will be out in november 2006 hopefully. Due to internet connections and hosting. There's lots of different worries really with that but i wont go into it, im proud of the design and that's fine.
So in these weeks i really have been POPPING them out.
We've had a short flash with really bad sound and 3 comedy scripts along with some other pictures (Including a flash picture of the Perth band The Bullet Holes.)
I drew this picture FOR Munch's WAR. Which, i will now give a little info on.
It'll be a live flash sh... "Well it was live when it was filmed."
With 3 guest stars. That is all, 2 scripts will be used from Celebs in my Studio.


Microphone: Yes, i need a new microphone, i am lucky enough to have a great resource thingy at the college i go to. Which is... great. As soon as i get back from my weeks holiday i will try and borrow one.
College:
Today an Animation/Film/Photography came out. This was... nun other than something that someone or some people made... at college.
AMBUSH REWIND
Find it here.
