The philosophy of cricket.
That means I say controversial things that attempts to challenge the dominant paradigms in current cricket thinking. Yes. The paradigms.
I also try to say nice things about spinners.

Video 1: Sledging
Ding Dong! How’s that for a post! Apologies for various errors. It’s worth sticking around to the end though. It gets exciting there.
You are ridiculous. Yes, that was definitely better than a dead animal. Even if the dead animal is a piece of cow cooked and served to me on a plate. I like creating tableaux of cricketing scenes out of whatever items I happen to have around, so the plasticine playlet was right up my street.
But - all this time I thought you were Asian. You're not. You're English. Why on earth did I think you were Asian?
Thanks Miriam, I wish I could say that no girl has said worse to me. But I can't. Yeah, I hope to make a series of blu-tack films. Perhaps weekly?
If anyone is willing to help me out by buying me a camera that doesn't eat a million batteries every minute and does what it is bloody well told, then I would be greateful.
I should clarify. When I said "You are ridiculous" I meant it in the way of, say, cats dressed up in outfits (i.e. ridiculous but which I also adore). I didn't mean it in the way of, say, Parcelforce when you are trying to have a parcel redelivered (i.e. ridiculous but which I regard with scorn). Yay to the videos! More videos! Perhaps next time a song?
Wow! Someone called my random nonsense a "Production". Very grown up.
If anyone is willing to send me in videos of singing and dancing roadkill, I'd happily put them up on my site. Although, I'd feel a bit grossed out by it all. But that's never stopped me before AND IT WON'T STOP ME NOW.
That was great, definitely better than a dead frog or duck.

And - if this is Video 1, can we look forward to a regular series?

ReplyDeleteHaving done animation myself i must applaud the amount of time that went into this production.
ReplyDeleteBut perhaps you could animate the dead animals in the future, ponting is starting to have a similar look to your dead frog.
