Late and bogus

A picturesque snowbound farm on a hill

A cottage with smoke coming from the chimney

A Landrover struggles up the hill and into the farm

A man gets out carrying a Christmas tree

A woman gets out carrying a food hamper

Two children get out carrying presents

The man knocks on the door, there is no answer

The man looks up at up the bedroom window

There is a pale face at the frosty glass

The man shouts up to the window

MAN

"Uncle it's your nephew, we have come to celebrate Christmas with you"

VOICE
"F**k off the lot of you; you're only after my money"

MAN

"Uncle we simply want to spend Christmas with you

VOICE

"It's the f**king 23rd Of January!"

MAN

"We've erm been busy"

VOICE

"F**k off you lying bastard and who are those kids? You haven't got kids"

MAN

"Uncle let us in, pleeease!"

VOICE

"No, you're not getting your hands my money"

MAN

"Uncle you haven't got any money"

VOICE

"Oh so you'll be saying next that you never seen me on the front of the Yorkshire Post picking up my Euro Millions Lottery win?"

The man then uses the tree as a battering ram to smash at the front door

The woman goes round the back of the house and takes crowbar out of the hamper and starts on the back door.

The two kids who are really midgets split up.

Midget one climbs up a telephone pole and cuts the wires

Midget two climbs up a drain pipe and puts his coat over the chimney.

There is smoke coming out of every window

VOICE

"Help police I'm being robbed!"

Not working for me, Teddy - a bit all over the shop.

I honestly think it's funny, it might be one of those that only works for me so I can see your point Lazzard as it's very messy and requires much more detail.

Sometimes with ones like these I just make the leap and expect others to follow, not realising that the leap is far too obscure.

That said if it was worked on, it could be a decent little caper.

Why don't you animate some of your capers Teddy and put them on YouTube? There is really really cheap software template software available.

I think the trouble is, the whole sketch swings on the "So how come I've got all this cash under the bed" line.
And that's the line I don't buy - so what follows doesn't fly, either.
For me, of course.

Mark it's a good idea sadly I haven't even got a camera on my phone

At the moment I have been using betting office pens and betting slips to draw Up Shots, whilst on the escalators, the qualities not great as the drawing is very shaky for all sorts of reasons.

Lazzard I can see that clearly and can see its good advice, give me two minutes and I'll sort it.

Just done it hope it works

Templates mean the animation is already there. All you have to do is add the 'funny' as you say.

I can see that you're trying to help me, but I have no idea how to do stuff like that I really don't.

But if someone gave me a frame of pictures I could do that or do a script with the images stated, but that's my limit,but I'm not a Luddite I love what technology does all the time, I am sadly an idiot

Google goAnimate

Teddy... I like this. I think the ending needs work though.

I agree the ending needs work, the visuals are good at the begining then it drops off.

I have used go animate and it is a bit of a learning curve even for a techy like me, for simple primary school stuff it is fine but if you want to make it look good then it is going to cost you for extra characters, sets etc. You can do something with the free version but it would involve using other programs like Audacity for audio editing and a video editing program. What you get for the free version is very basic, I am always on the look out for simpler programs to use and there are more and more coming out but all of them involve a certain degree of time and then money when you want more out of it.

You don't have to make it look good. That's part of the brief just make it funny. If you can you can if you can't you can't. But get something out there and see.

Just don't put it in Showcase and maybe not critique either perhaps hide it somewhere in the general thread.

Powtoons is another good animation tool I have come across recently, it is used for explainer videos, there is a free version and again a bit of a learning curve but I prefer it to go animate for user friendly.
