Changing the CVS to a Butcher Shop

It occurred to me that the shot where he gets kicked out of the store, would work much better it it were a butcher shop. So I am looking for images, and locations.




The red and white awning is iconic

I like the checkered floor and the font




I might be able to get away with adding a sign, and changing the stuff in the window (the interior is was all done in Maya anyway, so it wouldn't be that hard).

I like the idea of meat hanging in the window that is not visible from Tuba-Goose's approach, but visible to the audience

Signs


Maybe a close up of the door as it closes behind him with the words "Deli and Butcher Shop"


I might take a video inside a butcher shop for reference or to use as a texture

Anti-Fairy Tales

"The anti-fairy tale has long existed as a shadow of the traditional fairy tale genre. First categorized as the ‘antimärchen’ in Andre Jolles’ seminal Einfache Formen (c.1930), the anti-tale was found to be contemporaneous with even the oldest known examples of fairy tale collections. Rarely an outward opposition to the traditional form itself, the anti-tale takes aspects of the fairy tale genre and re-imagines, subverts, inverts, deconstructs or satirizes elements of them to present an alternate narrative interpretation, outcome or morality. Red Riding Hood may elope with the wolf. Or Bluebeard’s wife is not interested in his secret chamber. Snow White’s stepmother gives her own account of events and Cinderella does not exactly find the prince charming."

Non-anthropomorphic emotion

I am working on making shots of the goose displaying emotion, without anthropomorphism...

Intro?

Once upon a time there was probably a goose
there were probably lots of geese,
and this goose was no exception
but he didn't know that,
because he was just a goose

A human thing was around,
and that's what he thought he would be,
because there was no one said who said that he couldn't

So he did, or he tried, and he left geese behind
to show people a goose with a tuba*

(it was actually a sousaphone, but geese don't know that)

Banging out the dents

I am trying to hammer out the little issues that have kept me from declaring my shot "ready for review", before the presentation. A few shots that I had deemed "almost ready for render" are giving me problems with what I thought were minor issues, but will be ready for direction and conceptual analysis.

Ritual and Context

I have been working on writing something that ties the ritual of bedtime stories, the role of tragic stories (heroes on failure in particular), the self esteem movement, and how it relates to what I am doing. It is pretty rough, so it is an unpublished draft right now.
The writing this semester has been very rough.
