Jud wanted us to show how the Synopsis for are 3 minute film has been Developed over the past few weeks so I thought I might just do that....
Originally Chuck was going to audition for a film and tell his back story to an agent Jud and Mario didn't like that Idea, Jud told me to scrap the whole Hollywood audition Idea and suggested that Chuck should still tell his Back story but this time to other monkeys that wont understand him with Chuck being super intelligent and all that!
This next one is slightly better but It needed to be changed. This time I needed to get rid of the NASA astronauts as Chuck a Super Monkey has achieved so much more than us Humans.
"Earth? you named your own planet after dirt and you've only flown to your own moon? you must be backward as well as Backwater"
said the Chompy mouthed alien in Shakara the Avenger
This ones fine but I changed for one last time which impressed the Tutors this next synopsis I will show you is the Final beefed up one.
So thats my Synopsis development. I know the Synopsis's are small but is I make them any bigger they go all over the place which annoys me >:( I may have to redesign the lay out of my blog!
Im now going to complete my first draft script for my 3 minute film see you next time ( which will be Sunday the 2nd of October!)
Monday the 19th of September 2011 Asides from shortening down my synopsis's for my film Ideas I started to do some brief episode Ideas for my futures project for the Series "Monsterology" which doesn't exist yet so dont bother looking it up on the Internet. Anyways....
Tuesday the 20th of September 2011 Returned to Uni once again where I had to take a series of notes of what to expect in the Upcoming year also Jud wanted us all to do better stories with are Three minute films because at the Moment they all had "Style" but no "Substance" if you will! so I worked upon that.
Wednesday the 21st of September 2011 Other than updating the Blog I started to edit the Story of "Chuck the Space monkey" Yep thats right my upcoming Film is on Chuck the Space monkey you got a problem with that!? no Good!
Thursday the 22nd of September 2011 Returned to Uni to show Mario and Jud me Synopsis for Chuck the Space monkey they said It could be changed originally Chuck was going to be Auditioning for Film and telling a Hollywood agent the stories of the Glory days (Oh yeah I forgot to mention Chucks a Super monkey who got his powers from being showered in Cosmic rays Hmm that seems a bit Farmilliar!). Jud told me to scrap the Idea of Chuck going to an Audition and Instead have Chuck tell his stories to an Audience of regular Monkeys but they dont Understand him. This made me think of something Philosopher "Ludwig Wittgenstine" once said
"if Lions could talk we could not understand them"
On Thursday night my Dad and I went to Lytham St Anne's to see my Grandparents who were on Holiday Its the First time Ive seen them since July of Last year Yeesh!
Friday the 23rd of September 2011 Reworked the Synopsis of my Three minute Film and then sent it off the Jud and Mario for them to look at and see if its Ok! I also got the Idea in my head that the characters in my series "Monsterology" needed changing so that one day I could make a Flash cartoon about them here are the Drawings I did.
Notice how Ive added Jake from adventure Time in there ha ha I hope Pen Ward doesn't mind :/
The Main Reason I changed the look of the Characters was because of looking at a new Toy line called "Swampsterz" which I thought would be relevant to me. Below is a Link to the Swampsterz site if any one is Interested I should look at It if I were you as Its not a bad little site...
Saturday the 24th of September 2011 I was a bit sick today after I night on the Tiles at Lava and Ignite where people Worshipped my Dance moves like a true Bowss! Asides from throwing up my Guts from the Previous night I made this drawing on Adobe Flash

Sunday the 25 of September 2011 Im ment to be going to the Trafford centre in Manchester today I don't know how thats supposed to help me with my Work but where else in the North of England can you find a shop that sells Lego! If Im back early I might work on a Schedule for the Upcoming Semiester.
I leave you now in the Capable hands of Mr Stevie Wonder with "Part Time Lover a Song I seem to be listening to alot this past two days. Oh I almost forgot there's this Live action version of Adventure Time you need to check out as It is like the Coolest! I was going to put It up on a previous blog entry but Ive only just remembered to do It whoops!

Thursday 15th of September 2011
A sunny day today and I returned to Uni, I was welcomed by Sarah who Told me I should have been in yesterday but then she realised I was in the third year and that I was In today! (sigh!) Any way my presentation It was to long Which Sarah constantly reminded me! (I should have took a leaf from Michael Bells book He had an Idea with what he was doing) and also Judd left! during my presentation (he probably had to make a phone call) Anyway's long story short Sarah, Mario and Steve didn't like my First Idea with Phil the Mouse, They said Space Monkey was a Strong Idea and that Laser-rodd confused them! (what!?) also Steve loved my Futures project with the Monsters "Thanks Steve!"
So overall Shorten out my slides and synopsis's also Sarah said something about me going to say bad stuff about her and Mario in the Production diary Ha "me" as if
"Whoa there you Showed a Weakness he pounces!"
Friday the 16th of September 2011
Kind of got up early this morning I didn't want to though wanted to have a lie in, Today Im gonna concentrate on the Series project and think of some Episode Ideas my dad suggested an Idea for my series "Monsterology" the episodes should be like "Heroes" (well Not exactly like them!) but How in one episode they would concentrate on one character like "Hiro" and in another Episode they'd concentrate on another character I Think thats a pretty cool Idea.
I leave you now with one of David firths many animations this one is called is "Cyber Mettel" and I think it appeared in Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe I could be mistaken!

Friday the 2nd of September
Updated this blog and did some more colouring in for me Ideas and a Bit of research I need to do more though but for now Im going to do some Scanning see you later!
I leave you now with a song by "the Shamen" Move any Mountain which is one song I seem to be listening to alot lately :/
For one of my Three minute Film Ideas I decided to do something innocent and that Innocent thing is "Phil the Mouse"
For those of you out there who care! Ive based the Character design of Phil and his other Mousey friend on the prototype Sega mascot "Oswald the Un-lucky rabbit". The Basic plot of Phil the Mouse tells the Story of young Business Mouse "Phil" who lives in a House in the Country. On the way to work Phil meets love interest "Milly Mouse" who is riding her "Mauscycle" to work. Phil goes over to say Hi and to also pop the question to Milly "will you go out for lunch with me" but before even Asking that question Phils hat gets blown off by a gust of wind. Worried Phil and Milly then go on an "Epic" quest to find Phils hat before heading to work. They eventually find the Hat with the help of a bumbling police mouse who sees the Hat on top of a Mad homeless mouse's head *Sniffs* yeah the Story needs work I know but the truth is Its not really my Idea!
I based this Idea on a battered old story book I have called "Squeek the mouse" written and Illustrated by Patience Powell. look bellow Ive scanned in a couple of Pages.
The last page you see above with the Green crayon scribble yeah I did that :) well my younger self did. The internet has no really Knowledge of Squeek the mouse well is a comic called "Squeak the Mouse" written by some Mexican guy this Comic I have no Intention of reading at all!
But other than Squeek the mouse Patience also wrote and Illustrated a few other books such as Hubert the Hare.
I didn't even know that one existed! oh he also did another book "Peggy the Penguin".
ORANGE BOOK COVER! :O *pulls a shocked face!* thats made me think of something :D
The Final book I could find by Patience Powell is "Timothy Tortoise" which I found images of it on Ebay.
So yes would that count as Research I think it does (then again what do I know!) Comming up next what I got up to this week!.
