Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A large portion of that was done with CGI.

Which portions?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Which portions?

The ones where you just see a little glowing dot for each sheep, with a black background. They almost look like overhead shots. You can tell it's CGI by closely watching the dots move--the motion is way too precise.

eta: Oh, and the daytime shot of the "sheep walking" is CGI as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Am also jealous of msbelle and Liese! I would like to hang out with them.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Hey, my luggage arrived!

...now I have to do laundry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, man, I think I still have a load of towels in the dryer. I better check.

I am feeling virtuous because I went to the gym. I did not work out; I sat in the steam room for 10 minutes, took a shower, changed clothes, and went across the street to buy groceries. The jacuzzi was out of order or I would have soaked for a bit.

You are very ambitious, Dana. I just did my laundry from last weekend's trip. Keep in mind, I stayed home from work Wednesday.

It's not ambition so much as "my jeans are dirty and I need something to wear to work tomorrow."

Fair enough.

Our wings are not tired

Which portions?

Most of it. Look at the cloud patterns at the top of the image when the sheep is walking by, the clouds never move.

There is also this article where they talk about the post production trickery.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

So, it is the weekend. I've already worked 17 hours, including working while CJ was earning his black belt. I just looked and I have over 3 weeks of vacation time in the kitty.

A too large portion of the 17 work hours were spent trying to upload a file to SharePoint. I should probably post in tech to see if anyone knows SharePoint. I hates it, I does.
