Comics Intros
I need to tell you/visitor the story. Because I always agree with proverb that “A picture is worth a thousand words”.
So … there will be 3 comics intros in PR2. First - introduction one - 6 images, second the info breaker - one which will help to transits from one animation to another one and give you some clues - 3 images, and final one - 3/4 images about what happened after all.
That would be the plan for weekend, finish rest of flash files and do the comics pictures + text in Polish than English, next eng ver will be checked by Nick and after that I will send it to Hisako who will translate it in Japanese.

Music and FX created by Redpath
Redpath is Sheffield, (UK) based producer Nick Bower.
Having started making music during the late 1980s/early 1990s, then moving to Dj’ing and music journalism www.progressive-sounds.com post 2000, the ‘Redpath’ pseudonym was born around 2005. Redpath says: “This is the project name for all of the musical work I do. I’m interested in and influenced by lots of genres from lush soundscapes, electronica and shoegaze, to breaks, house, electro, chillout, orchestral pieces and video game music."
“The sounds your hear throughout the Pencil Rebel 2 site have been exclusively produced using Ableton Live 5.0, manipulated and enhanced using a variety of VST plugins and softsynths. I hope that they add some fun and further depth to this fantastic Pencil Rebel 2 site!”.

The First Blood
During all production I was scalpels proof, office paper proof, wires and knives proof. Nothing did cut me, hurt me or whatever.
… Until the day I made slingshot.
At the end I cut myself with with saw. On the photo you can see the 2 sided metal-wood saw. When the metal teeth are dangerous a little bit .. the wood teeth (4 mm) are really harmful especially when you use enjoy cutting stuff on full speed.
The good thing is that the laceration heals very quickly comparing to cut made with scalpel. It is because the scalpel cuts ideally human body so the “surface” of skin doesn’t attach when laceration looks worst but sticks better.
kind regards
Doctor Grzegorz

I love handcraft works
I love handcraft works,
scalpels, pencils, color pencils, glue, tapes, markers, paints, rubber gum, scissors, monkey wrench, good knives small and huge, solder, cable, resistors, and all the rest of stuff I don’t know the English name for it :)
Basically, it’s my natural environment and I have ability to do something from nothing. I am fun of Hobbycraft, office stationery and tools, screws, screwdriver, section of relative shops. Staples is also cool.
A little bit disappointed with tools shops like B&Q or Homebase (In The UK generally lot of stuff is done in the way of ready solutions which has prons and cons) you can find nails packed in pack of 10, 20, 50 etc pieces but only few often use types, which is good but cons are I feel limited and other thing is I don’t like that 5 nails is packed in useless plastic and cardboard box. Apart of fact that the plastic box is worth more than 5 nails whats the point produce so many wastes ?
In Polish Castorama you (can find 20 times more stuff) and take nails from big containers (so you could pick every single nail or screw to find the perfect one, if you are fancy of course :)).
BTW. I’m looking for desk lamp, the classic old school architect one, if you know any really good supplier in UK let me know.
Apart of that .. here are some screens from my funwork.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
It is not perfect but considering fact that this is Plasteline Clay for 3 quid, without any frame ... not so bad, not so bad.
Indeed it was nice experience, all 3 series of shots took me about 10 minutes but processing (cutting out the bird from each photo) huh ... 3 hours.

The Pasta - The worst material ever with great design ?
Materials are physical substances used as inputs to production or manufacturing.
I would never thought I could say that but here it comes … it’s official … pasta is the worst material I ever work with, it is inflexible, gently and total crap to mount.
I spent about 8 hours trying to develop the technique of mounting this stuff together but I gave up. I do agree that it was possible, for sure the Butapren Glue would do the job, but thank you very much for this type of entertainment ;).
Anyway, if anyone ask me to do the scenography based only on pasta, I won’t hesitate 3 second (of course if budget is ok ;) … because pasta has so many different shapes, designs, colors and forms that I’m sure I will force myself if i have to develop the technique to mount it together.
