See it here first!

Apparently Steven Spielberg was given a film camera as a kid. Now he is a very, very rich man.

My children were given the Animatazz animation software thingy (google it) from Santa this year. We are very hopeful that the below YouTube clip is the very first step on their path to greatness (and immense riches.)

Make sure you look for the sophisticated deep subtext of this piece...

D'Oub: sorry, can't play it at the moment as my computer is in meltdown, but thanks for the pointer, one of mine is constantly on about making his own films and we manage with husband's stop-motion mobile phone facility, which as far as we can work out can only be played back on the mobile phone. Will return to watch, promise!

Titus, its worth waiting for! lol... perhaps not!

I have been reliably informed that this Animatazz thingy was just tutorials and a figure, and that the actual animation was done using Windows Movie Maker, which is on all pcs with Windows (ie all of them.)So, if you've got a junior Spielberg at home, then he should be able to give it a whirl :)

The dissonance displayed by contrasting the traditionally friendly wave with the unmistakable anger betrayed by the the raised eyebrows is nothing less than brilliant. This will haunt me. Kafka would weep.

I suspect you will retire early and quite comfortably.

I look forward to further installments on the adventures of the man who walked in dog poo, I can more than identify with his difficulties, and the bravery of the hero in this piece is breathtaking, awe-inspiring, in a word - beautigeniusnessnessful.

Dead Acorn, you are obviously a true intellectual giant, you have grasped the essential paradigm of modern existence that our anti-hero is attempting to encapsulate...

Niamh - Indeed, sequels are planned! Walking in Poo - Part Deux, The Revenge!

What it lacks in length it makes up for in brevity. There's something of the Orsen Wells about it, 'Shitizen Kane 'perhaps and yet I'm getting undertones of Chaplains 'The Tramp' Totally brilliant work which ever way you look at it, but my main concern is for the bowels of the dog that took such a dump as that.

"Shitizen Kane" - brilliant TFE :)

That fecking dog is out pooping in my neighbourhood, the fecking mongrel poo machine...
