I had a dream I was on the outskirts of New Orleans.  I went into this art store gallery in a run-down strip mall and found these fascinating stick puppets in shadow boxes.  One was of an alligator inside which was a fox -inside which was a crow and deep within the mouth of the crow slept a girl child image, nestled underneath her blankets like some Christian inspired postcard. 

I'm sure this piece is the result of all the Aesop fables I've been pouring over -mostly having to do with power struggles in the world -with my two cents thrown in: the innocent being the ultimate victims.  I will use it as a key element in the carnival nightmare sequence of "Dogmatique".  This will be one of many firsts in this project as it is the first time I animate a miniature using stop motion...

 

It's called: "Alligator Eats Fox Eats Crow"

 

Our final shoot with Peter Bones.  Here I've composited him into a beautiful old car I found at the mechanic's garage.

 

He's supposed to appear drunk and out of control in this shot, luckily the set makes him sleepy -all the hot lights -lends well to his "character". view shot:
