Poster and expo info

Hello dear followers,

due unforeseen difficulties, we couldn't post anything sooner. We are terribly behind on schedule and we are running 80 miles per hour to get things done.
BUT! We do have something to spoil you guys with.
TADAAAAAH!

It's a poster! Print it and hang it either on your door, ceiling, bathroom door, in the kitchen or where ever else you can hang it in sight.
The format and size is a bit odd, but that's because it are the measurements our school requires for the print. Yes this will be printed professionally and used to advertise when our expo is held.
Speaking of the expo, this is held at 28th of April. Friends and family are welcome to awe our beautiful work.
Students are allowed to come in from 12:00 to 16:00.
Companies from 17:00 to 19:00.
Family and friends may come in at 19:00 to 21:00.
There is a small "but" here, we might not get everything finished in time, due several circumstances, so we'll just show what we have up until then. Of course we shall notify you guys when everything is actually finished, we shall post a youtube video, vimeo and what else more we can find, right here, in this blog.
 
So we hope to see you at our expo, or checking out our blog.

Sincerely, Smøg team.

Meet the hero!

Long time no see dear followers!

Well it's been a while since the last update. But of course we do have a reason for that.
The last weeks for us have been busy as hell. We had some bad reviews from the teachers, and therefore we couldn't yet start the actual animating yet.
Luckily we fixed that in a day's time and now we have permission to go and make this project work out.
So by the time we started we were already behind on schedule. And with only 2 people on quite a big project, that's no fun.
By now we are still cathing up with our delay, but we'll make it through (we hope).

The post for now contains an actual shot of the movie. It contains our main character and hero: Lars.



So let's get to know this character a little better with another short interview:

Q: What an honor to meet you, the main hero of the movie!
Lars: Ah, well thank you. But... I'm not much of a hero though, I'm still just a 12 year old kid.

Q: Who says kids can't be heroes?! Ash Ketchum was a hero!
Lars: Uhh, who..?

Q: Sorry different universe. So Lars, where did it all start, where do you come from?
Lars: For me this adventure started from the town I live in. My village has been closed in by enourmos walls for centuries, so it's all a bit back in time there.
No one was able to get out, or enter our village so we really lived isolated. They said the wall was build ages ago by someone with magical powers to keep us safe from an enormous monster!

Q: Wow an enormous monster? What do you know about that?
Lars: Oh... uh... haha I can't really tell you anything about that, that would spoil the story!

Q: Right, back to the start then, how did you ever find a way to escape from that village?
Lars: Well one day one of our goats went missing, and I was sent to search for it. I discovered a hole in the wall and stumbled through it to search further for our goat.
I did find him, but I also discovered the outer world! And that's basically how my journey started.

Q: But when you crawled through that hole, didn't you hestitate, or feel the urge to warn someone?
Lars: H-ha-hahah... well you know, I wanted to, but then I thought what uncle would do to me when he found out I wasn't busy with my job.

Q: Hmm, pretty scary uncle then. So did you meet any potential people to go on another adventure with?
Lars: Yes! At least, if they'll let me join them. But for now we haven't really found a reason to set sail again.

Q: Well Lars, I must thank you for your time, you were a way better speaker then our first interviewee.
Lars: Thanks!



So we hope you got to learn our main character Lars a little better with this.
Of course, if you would like to know more, you could always leave a question here in the comments.
Thank you for your time for now, and we hope we will be back soon with another pretty picture!
