There has been a lamentable lack of forward movement with fundmyshort these past weeks, which is partly down to the fact that I have been really busy with other work.
Between animating a pink elephant for a German shoe company, I am also directing a CG commercial for the music retailer HMV, as well as being heavily into Pre Production on another personal project TREE a short live action film that I'll be shooting this autumn. So apologies for my lack of FMS updates.
Things are creeping very slowly forward with Henry and Martha, but not at the speed I would have hoped. Again, this is largely down to my other work commitments.
I hope this will change soon.

Hey, glad to see you've been busy! I hadn't seen the "TREE" blog, thanks for posting the link, it looks fantastic! We have tons of great oaks here in NOLA, I'll be sure to send along a pic for the gallery :)

Hey Phil!
Don't worry man! Keep working and whenever it's possible give us something to have fun with :D
Those little clips like the mummy one usually make my day :)
By the way...have you got any plans for that puppet? I really really like it, it's so cartoony I love it!
See ya,
Alejo

Hi guys thanks for your encouragement.
The mummy does have plans, but he is standing in line at the moment waiting for his name to be called.

You are in demand for good reason, Phil. Grab that big money and then come to Martha and Henry when you retire at 31? From my lamentable experience, projects will wait for-sweetfrig-ever. We'll all happily wait.
I've been meaning to ask you, regarding the liquid-like perfection of the Corpse Bride puppets... how was the experience of working with them for you, as opposed to animating with less smooth and fluid control? (If an answer to such a question wouldn't compromise any work relationships that is.)

31? Been there, done that a few years ago!

Really? All you youngsters like about 28 to me!
