Behind the Bite

The recent video of the Cute-a-killer was shot over the summer, mostly during MJ's days off work. Along with operating the camera, MJ puppeteered the Cute-a-killer using marionette sticks (aka "fishing rods")...

This behind-the-scenes video shows bloopers and outakes from the Cute-a-killer shoot:


I still feel anxious when I see the Cute-a-killer from its perch above my fireplace.  MJ was also shaken by the ordeal, and she drew this animation during her art therapy session:

Created using Inchworm Animation on MJ's Nintendo 3DS

Thank you for your multiple talents, MJ! And thank you all for the shared experience of encountering the Cute-a-killer!

  7. @Raggy Rat: I'm happy you liked the goofy bloopers :)

    @LEESASAUR: Silly is my middle-name!

    @MissJulep: hehe It's cool, I'm used to being laughed AT far more often than WITH! ;)

    @sal: Thanks for watching the video! MJ & I had a big laugh too, watching the bloopers. Nothing like a camera to remind oneself of one's clumsiness :D

    @Oanhderbread: Happy you think it looks epic haha The whole cute-a-killer project was intended to be a quick lil project, but it ended up taking up the whole summer. But it was lots of fun! :)

    @PaisleyJade: Hmm, you're right… The net & hammock were conspiring against me! Or maybe I should've put some glue on that bamboo stick… That would've been easier haha Thanks, Kristy!

    @Virginia: Thank you, Virginia! In person, MJ is known to be the outgoing comedian, so it's a treat to hear that I can inspire some laughs online :D

    @EL palacio de Martín: ¡Muchas gracias! :))

  8. oh my goodness, it's terrifying! i'm being honest when i say that it really freaks me out! but then i see the hilarious video clip of you chasing it across a field and i feel much better. though the creepy cute-a-killer was defeated and reduced to a pile of yarn... i can't shake the feeling that it will find a way to come back... creepy!!!!

  10. @youngmi: Thank you, I was hoping to conjure up some creepiness! :) Crochet always does cute very well, but yarn can also form into some eeeerie things :D

    @Rie: I'm happy for your stumble, especially from someone just as crochet-crazy :D I'm slowly working on the next project right now, in between a drawing assignment. Sometimes I wish I had a clone, so that I can draw & crochet at the same time. Hmm… "Woomi !!"
