too bad the settings and surroundings look a lot better than the actual movement in the animations. some things are a tad off, stiff or not as fluent as they could be. no way i could do it better, but hey.... :)
cute boy and video, but still i find the idea of cutting lobsters antennae, taping their claws, keeping them in a refrigerator and finally throwing them in boiling water while still alive appaling, even worse trying to excite a child for that procedure. would a child throw its pet hamster in boiling water and watch it turn red to later eat it? highly doubtful...
i believe "to live within ones means", as you wrote, alex, to be the secret to both security and a happy life. being a freelance artist i spent the past 10 years on my life in much more financial insecurity than most people i know would be willing to bare, but i think if everybody layed a bit lower on their expanses and focused a bit more on what they really need and what is important in life, there wouldn't be so much complaint in the first place. and that would probably lead to less insecurity, as well. i find that so many people are wound up in their materialism, that they fret way too much about loosing things that really have no value. in my eyes materialism and all its consequences is one of the worst diseases the western world is suffering from right now. maybe a crisis would make people focus on different values for a change...
