The 10 Commandments: No.7 - Thou Shalt Not Steal

The Ten Commandments: No.7 - Thou Shalt Not Steal from Global Mechanic on Vimeo.

Today I have the 3rd short in our 10 part series on the 10 Commandments. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. This short was a challenge to make. Fuck bananas. Seriously. SUCH a pain in the ass. If you're thinking, "Oh let's make a stop-motion film with fruit and vegetables! Hmm, what should we use, oh I know, HOW ABOUT A FUCKING BANANA???!!!1!!1!!!/?" then I suggest you skip the film and go right to shooting yourself in the face. Bananas have no legs. Bananas are soft as SHIT! Bananas go brown under hot lights lights. BANANAS HAVE NO LEGS. All kidding aside though, it was a really fun shoot. We worked our movie magic. Pulled out all of the smoke and mirrors and put them to good use. Don't get me wrong, we're pleased with the film. It turned out nicely. But never again will I work with a banana. It's like trying to wrangle sheep that aren't trained. You just shouldn't do it. Other than that, however, the rest of the shoot was a blast! I got to do some 2D animation of Google. That's all hand drawn by the way (In case you were wondering). And set decorating an office scene for fruit is always an enjoyable experience. The calendar in the background is my favorite set piece. All in, I'd say it was a success!

Stick around. I'll have more Commandment shorts and some other junk soon!
