| My dad sees our tv viewing as a magnet drawing us in |
I led my family around on Saturday (during family weekend), showing them the campus
and some of the things that I have bee working on. But guess what Professor
Leeper? I also took them to see the faculty art in the gallery. Once there, my
brother started watching the popsicle plays of Bible stories that you created.
They were entertaining. My brothers and sisters already like to watch movies a
lot; after watching one they continued on to watch others. Even my dad watched
them, though he isn’t a big fan of animation (likes to joke with me about my
“obsession” sometimes of watching “cartoons”). He jokingly said that Bible
stories should return to this “popsicle drama.” Even in serious stories, a
sprinkling of humor is needed, whether it be comments or the voice of the
narrator. I’ve noticed that people, thought not all, tend to remember something
better if it has some humor (I remembered what a history teacher of mine said
for years because the way he taught, thought lecture style, was funny: another
was really, really, really, really, REALLY boring – forgot everything in a
day). All in all, the popsicle theater was greatly enjoyed. The contrast
between 3-D puppets and 2-D drawings created an interesting atmosphere. I
personally thought that it was a neat and ingenious idea to have the popsicle
puppets flip in order to change emotions in one scene.
