Kit Cat Kid’s Cause “fur” (Non-Compliant) Complaint – An Animated Children’s Poem

Posted by neatretreat on August 14, 2009

PLEASE CLICK [THIS] FOR THE NEW VERSION

Nursie says today I am to have an early bath
She’s drawn it up and filled it full before a blazing hearth
I do not care for being clean
I do not wish to wash
There is no need to primp and preen
Nor in the water splosh

But Nursie says she can’t concur
With what I REASONABLY aver
She’s lunging at me with big jugs
And scrubbing <<<HARD>>> behind my lugs
Her claim’s they’re full of cabbages – which REALLY ticks me off
I NEVER go near vegetables – they’re NOT my sort of scoff
She shrieks that I’m a “dashed cross-patch”
Who should “Sit still !”
And be “Less shrill !”
And never – NEVER – scratch !

—————————————————————————————–

Above is the first animation that I have made with the 6th version of
Reallusion
’s Crazy Talk Pro. I haven’t looked at any of the new software’s
in-program multi-head/camera panning capabilities and I don’t “puppeteer”,
instead, I manually keyframe the motions.

However, this character was freshly fitted
(and has (illuminated) OWL’s not CAT’s eyes)
to take advantage  of the just-introduced
and  very welcome second mesh.

This extra framework of  facially-independent points can be positioned to
bound appendages to the skull (hair, ears, horns, hats) that were formerly a,
sometimes unsurpassable, challenge – too awkwardly shaped and/or located
to be sufficiently served by the generic template of a bald humanoid.

I don’t like the jerky ending, the aqua angles aren’t convincing,
the font is too small with some unclear lettering and the running
water MAY be too loud ; nevertheless THAT is staying as it gives
the cat (and everyone else) CAUSE “FUR” (non-compliant) COMPLAINT

There’s an audio cameo from my beshteshtest mate at the end…..who would
be crosser than Kit Cat Kid if he knew I’d been foolin’ with a feline (again !).
