Indeed, an appropriate title for the mental stages I went through in gathering together this list of ideas and little tit-bits of inspiration…
I’m currently full of wine and home-made stew…om nom nom nom…

- BEAR-SCAK’S FIRST DAY AT WORK:
- Inspired by the events of today (25.10.2011) in particular, here we see a rare insight into the more personal aspects of the life of the anti-Xmas bear. We see Bear-scak toddle along to work at a call centre, completely uninterested by the prospect, and generally taking out his dismays on the unsuspecting customers (and of course the bell-ends who deserve it…ruuuuuuuuuuude!). Well, as you can imagine, his potential employers are a bit shocked to find that the person that they have invited along to the interview: Is in fact a giant, nasty bear with a completely bitter and unaccommodating personality. I’m thinking for the most part of it, there should be a regular shift in background I.E. water cooler, desk, cafeteria etc, whereas Bear-scak himself stays stationary (a humour device, really). As far as I’ve thought up to this point (only got the idea about half an hour ago: not too shabby so far!), I think that it should end vaguely with him walking out of the office – so you don’t see the outcome as to whether he has been hired or not – walking along for a bit away from the complex, and the “camera” pans down to see that he is dragging a head behind him in his bear claws.
- F*@K YOU:
- I had a quick idea earlier this morning for a quick and generally practice based flip-book animation. So far, up to now, I’ve reached about 50 individual pages for this little project. I decided to do a very quick animated sequence based on Bear-scak’s personality and mannerisms, so readers / viewers / tutors will get more of an insight into the way the angry man-bear acts and lives out his life. Essentially, it’s a rough sequence of him flipping his middle finger, saying “F*@K YOU” and lighting a cigarette. Hopefully it will turn out mildly successful! FINGERS CROSSED!
