thought about using The Raven poem by Edger Allan Poe as it has desire and fear, not sure if it has hope in it. I'll have to read through it and write some notes.

because the poem is long I'll have to shorten it down to only the important parts. It maybe:

Once upon a midnight deary, while I pondered, weak and weary.

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

"Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-

Only this and nothing more."

Presently my soul grew stronger, hesitating then no longer,

"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;

But the fact is I was napping, and so you came rapping,

And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,

That I scarce was sure I herd you"- here I opened wide the the door;-

Darkness there and nothing more.

Open here I flung the door, when, with many a flirt and flutter,

In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore:

Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;

But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door-

Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber-

Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Now that I've started to write it out I'm not sure how this will work. Need to re-think what I'm doing.

The Of Mice and Men story is one my favourite books. This will be good for my Hope, Fear and Desire assignment. Hope of them getting there own little place with rabbits and alphapha. Fear that Lenny with get them into trouble again. Lenny's desire to touch the things he likes, that's what gets him into trouble.

Again I'll have to shorten this down to only what is needed.

While I was researching Of Mice and Men I found this music video, Pictures of you by The Last Goodnight. When I watched it I thought it was about what people want to be instead of what they are now.

The lead singer, Kurtis John said “Pictures Of You” is a collage of life, a landscape of lyrics that paints a picture of ‘what if,’” explains John. “What if a different path was taken, or someone was dealt the wrong set of cards?” With the empathy infusing Poison Kiss, it makes sense that The Last Goodnight isn’t only about the music—“there’s an energy the band has that I want to put to the best possible use,” John explains. “It’s about what we can do to change the world.”

Dreamers Wings video

The making of Dreamers Wings

Its all coming togther now, the characters, scenes, the story story board. The lion sketches was the first time that I've drawn something in that way. It was much easier than the way I drew the man silouettes.

The wings are for the front view of the male puppet, but i will have to hide them when at the back of him by the angle that I put them in, in the light.

I did the scene sketches in that way so that you can see how he wud be feeling in each scene.

Animal Audio

Four pages worth of film quotes. I numberd each one so that when it comes to picking them i can just write down the numbers, time saver.............................. ........... now  just have to change the speech into a animal sound

Half way know

Feeling a little relieved now because I was panicing when I couldnt think of anything and time was running out but, I have and it just needs to be edited now.

In my own time

The animation I want to get used to moving the characters, how to light the set, sunrise, sunset and shadows. I want to do like a jungle type set as I could put in a few background noises like water and animal noises. I'm going to make a waterfall from two long boxes, newspaper and tissue paper. for other parts like trees and grass I could use newspaper, glue and cotton wool. As for the character/s they will be made from plasticine, just not sure what to make.

Face build up

The body

I think the pasticine that I used for this is too weak to be able to stand, plus it gets stickey when it warms up so I wont be able to use this in the stop motion. Im still going to keep it as an ornament type thing and just make a better sterdier lion model (out of better plasticine). 

Waterfall and trees

I love making things!

New Audio

Finaly I have a new Audio idea. It came to me when I was playing a game. Took my mind of it for like 10 minutes then it hit me- do animal noises. Record some famouse film quotes, pick a few then turn them into animal sounds on Adobe Audition. Im doing animal sounds because its been a theme in my work.

!!!!!!!! (Audio)

WRITERS BLOCK!

I cant think of what to do. The more I think about it the more my mind goes blank. This is not good. Audio is hard for me to picture in my head, its not a picture it sounds and I cant picture sounds. This is getting frustrating! I have to think of something, I cant leave it as it is.
