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!
  • SteveR plus 2 years ago
    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 plus 2 years 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.
  • SteveR plus 2 years ago
    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 plus 2 years 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!"
  • SteveR plus 2 years ago
    You filthy beast! Keep your lecherous eyes off my missus!
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    Your wife has a beautiful head.

    SO THATS WHERE THE NEW LIKE IT BUTTON IS!

    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 plus 2 years 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 2 years ago
    I agree about the train bumpiness - great attention to detail.

  • ed 2 years ago
    I rate this in my top 5 favorites of your clips. Excellent animation.
  • SteveR plus 2 years ago
    That's very kind, thanks.

    Poor guy...he's so unhealthy....it's like he's paper thin....
  • SteveR plus 2 years ago
    Very good. It's the Boddingtons and amphetamines diet that he was following at the time.

  • Andrea Allen staff 2 years ago
    I don't think more people will watch this because of me.
  • SteveR plus 2 years ago
    The statistics tell a different story.
  • SteveR plus 2 years 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 staff 2 years ago
    Well, if you are going to add me as a cast member, then I am going to make a formal clip request.

  • davidxcarroll 2 years ago
    I watched this clip because of AA
  • bluedog 2 years ago
    You know what, "I will too!"
  • Andrea Allen staff 2 years ago
    I watched this clip because I was in it, too.
  • SteveR plus 2 years 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.

  • SteveR plus 2 years ago
    He's the "singer" (I use the term loosely) in legendary UK band The Fall.
