The true story of my wife's encounter with the cantankerous Mancunian ranter.
This is a full family effort. My son drew the background and made the figures, I did the animating and editing, and my wife did the voiceover.

He even looks cantankerous as a cartoon! A really great family project. Thanks to all of you for making it at my behest. Trouble is, I now want to know what happened when she met Antonio Fargas and Martin Fry!

That's two possible sequels.

I liked the attention to detail throughout the clip!

I'm actually surprised the old curmudgeon hasn't written a song about this encounter. Is he really that small?

Can't wait for the Martin Fry sequel.
SteveR 1 year ago

Who do you think he was thinking of when he recorded "There's a Ghost in my House"? I believe that to this day he is haunted by the memory of his brief encounter with the radiant beauty that was my bride-to-be.

Also, the figures are anatomically to scale. Jane is a 7 footer, while Mark stands a mere 4 feet tall in his socks.

Very cool. what a great collaboration!!!

one thing: the voice-over needs to be louder :)
SteveR 1 year ago

I blame the MacBook's built-in mike.

Send that lyric to Mark!

Forgive me SteveR, but I would be a horrible cad if I did not compliment the appearance of your lovely wife. May I offer a long lost American phrase in an attempt to pay my proper respect. "Hubba! Hubba!"

You filthy beast! Keep your lecherous eyes off my missus!

Your wife has a beautiful head.

Nice one steve!

Haha, this is great. I think more stories should be told in this style of animation. I liked that they were both constantly moving because of the train's bumpiness.
SteveR 1 year ago

This paper animation style is a lot easier to do than claymation. The figures don't fall over all the time, for a start.
Ben Millett 1 year ago

I agree about the train bumpiness - great attention to detail.

I rate this in my top 5 favorites of your clips. Excellent animation.

That's very kind, thanks.

You Sir are a Vimeo legend, and I love you!
*er um in a not so gay way* Although gay people are quit nice and usually have great credit....

awesome job man.

I'm glad you think so. I'm looking forward to the "Like It"!

Poor guy...he's so unhealthy....it's like he's paper thin....
SteveR 1 year ago

Very good. It's the Boddingtons and amphetamines diet that he was following at the time.

I don't think more people will watch this because of me.

The statistics tell a different story.
SteveR 1 year ago

This clip had gone 4 days without a comment or "Like" . Within hours of adding you to the credits, it gained 5 "Likes" and a load of comments.
Andrea Allen 1 year ago

Well, if you are going to add me as a cast member, then I am going to make a formal clip request.
davidxcarroll 1 year ago

I watched this clip because of AA
bluedog 1 year ago

You know what, "I will too!"
Andrea Allen 1 year ago

I watched this clip because I was in it, too.
SteveR 1 year ago

Andrea, my misleading addition of you to the cast of this video has now probably garnered all the "Likes" that it's ever going to, so I have removed you from the cast list.
Jelen! 1 year ago

who is that guy??
SteveR 1 year ago

He's the "singer" (I use the term loosely) in legendary UK band The Fall.
