Old gargoyles find new purpose.

Like Ant I am touching on French nationalism.



This a very odd entry for me as my interest in and knowledge of football are both a resounding zero! I had to google the star players.

You know more about it and have more interest than I do David... that's a nice entry though.

Thanks Loyd.

On the other hand I do enjoy watching a good game of Snooker. Quiet, gentlemanly ......... and vicious!

Snooker, I haven’t played snooker in many years. What a coincidence, just last week, a friend wanted to borrow some golf clubs. While we were retrieving them from the closet, he spotted my old snooker cues and wanted to hear about them.

Re: Challenge 1111: Rooftop water cannons


Due to the scale of the challenge image, and the size limits of Giphy, I've added a single frame to give an idea of what's going on in the animation.

Re: Challenge 1111: Rooftop cannon
For a GIF that's a really first class animation ........ and it loops seamlessly. Try as I may I cannot find the join.

Re: Challenge 1111: Rooftop cannon
David, size and scale helps mask the loop. The gif is 75 frames @15 frames/sec. loop is blended over .50/sec. (5-6 frames). If you open it on your iPad and zoom in a little on the two firemen on the roof, the chainsaw will show the loop most easily.

Aaaaah the anarchy of the Minions.

Did you consider putting the main Minion behind the buildings for even greater dramatic effect?

I did, but then it wouldn't be a parade.

They thought they were clever with their cannons and gargoyles but they underestimated the dragons.

Dragons!! Now I wish I had thought of that!

Looks like you had fun doing that.

Battling Buildings or ‘when push comes to shove’.



Makes no sense at all, I was just fooling with FX… buildings are distorted on purpose.

Sorry about all the minions, they seem to have taken over my computer.
