Flash Imagination #6
May 12th
With the weather getting warmer, I’m finding myself spending more time walking around Montreal. As such, I’m starting to run into interesting scenarios that, sure enough, result in some flash imagination.
So expect to see find a handfull of new Flash Animation posts over the next little while as I discover the quirks of my new city.
How To Add A New Floor To Your House
He’d re-mortgaged the house.
He had rented four cranes, and hired two dozen construction-site workers.
He had bought truckload after truckload of trees, which he then had cut into blocks a metre long, and about 20 centimetres wide.
After a few days, his wife had left with the children.
But Martin had always wanted a three story house – one story taller than all of his neighbours – and no matter what the cost, he was going to get it.
NOTE: The picture is of a house that’s been lifted and put on what looks like makeshift stilts. If you click on it, you can see it in actual size, and you can see that the house has been lifted so its higher than its neighbour. I saw this house while walking to meet Koji’s breeder (Koji is my dog), and just had to snap a pic.
Surprises & Technical Difficulties
Apr 23rd
Well, looks like the Halloween in Montreal finale didn’t auto-publish as I had set it up to, so I’ve made it available and you can read it here.
One thing you’ll notice about this finale is that it kind of ends in the middle. In fact, the finale was supposed to be a two-parter, but the second part seems not to have saved correctly. So I’ll fix it up and put it up tomorrow sometime.

Its been a while since my last flash animation, but after taking this picture a few nights ago, I knew I had to throw it up on the site.
So here goes:
City Lights
There’s something eerie about walking alone in the city at night.
The fact that you’re just one of a few million souls walking from one street to the next makes you feel like such an insignificant piece of of the puzzle.
Yet, when you stop to look down at the traffic below, and you hear the horn of the passenger train in the distance, you realize that the city is alive, and that you are a part of it as much as it is a part of you.
And its then that you feel safe, realizing that you are never really walking alone.

Glove On A Park Fence
Today’s Flash Imagination pic was taken at the Dog Park a few blocks from my appartment. Someone placed a small pink mitten on the fence surrounding the park, and I found it made for an erie picture with the street lights in the distance.
And here’s my take on the pic. Its a little dark, but I like it 
Don’t misbehave in the neighbourhood of NDG.
It was no coincidence that Michael, nicknamed the TroubleMaker, had disappeared. Sure the adults had said that he’d run away from home, but the children knew that was a lie.
Then there was Julie, who’d stopped showing up at school one day. Her parents said that they’d sent her to live with her grandparents in BC, but again, the children knew that both of Julie’s grandparents lived only a few blocks down.
And now Amy, who liked to chase down and kiss as many boys as she could, had disappeared. All that the children could find of her was her little pink mitten, laying on drying grass and dead leaves in the middle of the NDG Dog Run.
The mitten was proof! Proof that the adults were lying, proof that Michael, Julie and Amy had not run away!
But even with this proof, no one would believe the children of NDG. They couldn’t go to their parents, because their parents were in on it. They also couldn’t go to the cops, because the cops would most definitely call their parents. In the end, anything they did would only make them suffer the same fate as their friends: being fed to the dogs in NDG park.
And so they put the mitten up on the fence, as a warning to all children of NDG: don’t misbehave in the neighbourhood of NDG.
