More Flash Backgrounds
Here are two backgrounds that will be used in our flash movies. The first is the office desk which will be used by our pirate. Andrew hand drew this and scanned it in. It looks very realistic and has good depth perception.
This second one here will be used in my music video for "Friday at the Club". I (Richard) drew this completely in flash. You can tell it is much more cartoony than Andrew's sketch.
The Modern Pirate – Finished Computer Wallpaper
Here is the finished wallpaper that will be the computer wallpaper for our pontificating pirate. I wonder what's in the "Hot Pics" folder... Aye, give a double click for me hearties!
Desktop Wallpaper fit for a Pirate
In our video short for the The Modern Pirate, our main character will need some sort of swashbuckling wallpaper for his computer. We've decided on a stormy scene with a pirate ship and our captain at the deck. With this in mind Andrew managed to put the picture on the left together. It's a slow process but it's steadily moving forward. Full steam ahead!

The Modern Pirate
We are working on a new comedy short. The current idea is about a pirate who is trying to make it in the modern world. One situation we thought would be funny to explore is what if a pirate had to adjust to the confinements of an office environment?
Most of us are pretty depressed in the office, and pirates have disfunctions as well. It seems like a nice compromise to expose his psychological disorders through a very stressful environment that we all deal with daily. The irony being that we think of a pirate's life at sea to be very difficult, but it is actually just as tough to be cubicle ridden. At least sailors get some exercise while swabbing the decks.
Anyhow, here is a preliminary sketch of what our pirate will look like. The key right now is the dress shirt. We're still deciding on his name.
