~ The Confessions (& Expressions) of St. Augustine ~ ~ Thursday 7 February 2008 ~
|
I have typed the specific
paragraph that the words, in
this animated greeting, open (and were extracted from)
further down this page. If you are feeling energetic,
you may scroll there - or, if that proposition sounds
like <<too much of a strain>>, click
[THIS] to
(take a running) jump....er,
hoping (if not hopping)
Augustine's
prayin' that such a "leap
of faith" won't
injure and make you endure
<<too much of a sprain>>...
"The Confessions (and Expressions) of St.Augustine"
was the first lip-synching
.animation.
that I made
with the .full
final release version. of Reallusion's
.Crazy
Talk 5.. You can see how much more MOBILE
the fluid features of the
(bouyed) "boy" figure
at
the front are than was the case with characters
created with <earlier iterations> of the software.
These (irritating (?)) iterations, isolated all, (numbly
(if not dumbly)) number : .1.)
Ross
the Sloth,
.2.)
The
Irate Pirate (I rate the "rating"
but everyone
at YouTube HATES him ;
and his hymn), .3.)
The
Aunt
What Aren't (the aunt what she's done s'posed to be),
.4.)
The
Ewe Who "Yoo Hoo !"s .5.)
Barbecue
Barbie

The
Newnham New Gnome.

The foregrounded lad(y)
was snatched (Yikes
!)
from another of Benozzo
Gozzoli's .pictures.
:
We have already viewed the .painting.
"Teaching
in Rome - Scene 6 - South Wall",
and observed how much more populated
(Pope-ulated
?) that .portrait.
is than
is my (grating) greeting
with its
>>slimmed<<
selection of .seven.
<Signor Singer> subjects.
We might imagine that the turban-toting, girlie-ly-
.cur.ly-haired
.caroller.
could feel cowed 'n' abashed
amid the original un.cur.tailed
crowd of .seventeen.
(not "Just
Seventeen", not "Heaven
17") humans...
...and a .cur. with a tail...
...Yet a tail may oc .cur.
on a cat or a pony...
...telling .tales.
of the trails and a cavalcade displayed
in a copious, cantering company where His Royal
Highness (left on the left) and the possible
Page
(of
this page and its pageant) show no shades of shyness.
"You cannot see-ee, You cannot see-ee..."
...the chief .singer.'s
shyness because it is
NOT THERE and is a torturous trait unlikely
to afflict one, we have established, through
the revelation of his (oriental ?) origins, as
well accustomed (and well a-costume-ed)
to the hassle(')of
hustle and bustle (if not
bustles,
buses
or Darcey
Bussell).
You wait around all day for a
Darcey
Bussell
and then three of 'em come along
at once...:
Darcey Bussell appears in a .2003.

("to one knee",

or a "Dead

who, in .1995.

~ the making
of Colin
Firth ~ via T.V.
and the B.B.C.
Colin Firth's televisual
"Pride and Prejudice"
co-star was Jennifer
Ehle (who was not as
"eely" as 'e
could 'ave been - particularly if 'e
were more Cockney than cocky - poppin' in 'n'
out of Pemberley's
pongy pond (if not his
perfectly pressed pantaloons) like a shirty
Ursula (Un)undressed Andress).
Here is a clip of the iconic seaside scene of
Ursula
Andress (as "Honey
Ryder") exiting
the ocean and, apparently, exciting many
.motion-picture.-(right
little)go-ers :
Amongst those "just looking" at the bikini-clad,
bleached-blonde, beached-Bond "looker", from
a greater distance than Sean
Connery, is likely to
have been Andrew
Davies, the .writer.
responsible
for bringing Jane
Austen's (inadvertently, though
not ill-advisedly) <Colin
Firth-and-Jennifer
Ehle-
coupling-satire-on-SMALL-mindedness> to as
big a SMALL screen audience as possible.
Andrew Davies cannot, however, be credited with
having introduced Colin
Firth and Jennifer
Ehle to
one another. An examination of the small faces
(not the "Small
Faces") in Benozzo
Gozzoli's
centuries-old .depiction.
of St.
Augustine of Hippo
"Teaching in Rome" reveals the pair
on a pew.
Perhaps the boy (?) in blue
(not "The
Blue Boy")
looks more like Jon
Ronson (not Don
Johnson) than
any Jennifer
Eally ; rEhle, though, - you'd have to
take his glasses off to make him fit in.
I created ENTIRELY SEPARATE .Crazy
Talk 5. "scripts"
(Reallusion's term for facial
.animation.
sequences)
for each individual in this animated greeting
and
composited the 1-GIGABYTE-per-head-heads
with
Adobe's .Premiere
Pro. The extremely simple
presentation is of a single-scene .CARD.
rather
than a .film.
with pans and close-ups.
It's <<sillier>> than it's supposed
to be but I quite
like the .audio..
(I also like the .audio.
I achieved
in my "William
Blake's Lamb-like Wail" adaptation
of "The Tyger"). The .sound.
for St.
Augustine and
his pulpit-peepin' pupils was arrived at via playing
(isn't everything ?) with .drone
Karaoke chord.
.changes .
on a .Yamaha
PSR-3000..
...and all without a crash helmet.
Who's Helmut ?
Hmm... Hell .Mutt. mu't be a .Hound. o' Hades.
I'll leave you now with the <SENSIBLE STUFF> -->
"And what is this ?" I asked the earth,
and it answered me, "I am not He"; and
whatsoever are in it confessed the same.
I asked the sea and the deeps, and the
living creeping things and they answered,
"We are not thy God, seek above us."
I asked the moving air; and the whole air
with its inhabitants answered,"Anaximenes
was deceived, I am not God." I asked
the heavens, sun, moon, stars, "Nor
(say they) are we the God whom thou seekest."
And I replied unto all the things which
encompass the door of my flesh:"Ye have
told me of my God, that ye are not He; tell
me something of Him." And they cried out
with a loud voice, "He made us." My
questioning them, was my thoughts on
them : and their form of beauty gave the
answer. And I turned myself unto myself,
and I said to myself, "Who art thou ?"
And I answered "A man." And behold, in
me there present themselves to me soul,
and body, one without, the other within.
By which of these ought I to seek my God ?
I had sought Him in the body from earth to
heaven, so far as I could send messengers,
the beams of mine eyes. But the better
is the inner, for to it as presiding and
judging, all the bodily messengers
reported the answers of heaven and earth,
and all things therein, who said, "We are
not God, but He made us." These things
did my inner man know by the ministry
of the outer : I the inner knew them; I,
the mind, through the senses of my body.
I asked the whole frame of the world
about my God; and it answered me,
"I am not He, but He made me."
