How fun is that!  I wonder folks realize what you had to do when you walked down the aisle with Frogo in one of the opening shots. If I am not mistaken for you to get that to work you had to actually lower him as you walked away from the camera.

Your daughters are beautiful!  You are quite handsome looking as you walk her down the aisle.

Thank you Shawn. Yes, my Daughters are beautiful (I'm biased of course). I scrubbed up ok, after long wild beards for some time previous.
   The shot going away from camera. Yes, you are right. I had my little pvc tripod which got me off the floor about 50cm, then watching the camera screen flipped, you do have to 'walk' downwards til I was literally on the floor.

Very nice!  You clean up well. Froggo is a great character and should have his own travelling show on the tele.  By the way. You got a shout out in Patsy's most resent show.

Ha! love the rotating teeth.  Very cool.
Re: In Search of the Donut Posted by Skitstorm on Aug 13, 2014
Fantastic stuff! And, as has been echoed above, great work with the effects and overall pro look and feel of it.
Re: In Search of the Donut Posted by pagestep007 on Aug 14, 2014
Thanks  Snail and Skitstorm. We did his first shot yesterday and I am looking forward to filming with him more. Snail, the teeth thing was a happy accident. I had to cut the wooden  plug inside the  pvc pipe to not get messed up with the elastics holding the arms together, and then I just swiveled it around and thought 'cool' and  painted it white. No-one's teeth rotate, but it works fine for me.

ooh, I haven't updated this thread for a while... so, for those who MIGHT be interested... an avalanche of recent episodes.... Frogo is in the Nelson Lakes district of New Zealand. Then after this, He will be headed south, to see if he can find any filming locations from 'The Hobbit' and  'Lord Of The Rings' Movies.









and to find out if You can light a signal fire on top of a mountain range, just  like in  'The Lord Of The Rings'...
