Episode 12: "One Master Too Many"

2009-10-07T15:52:39Z

Hi ♥

This project was originally called "The RJ/Casey Guide to Jungle Fury (with beanie babies)," which may explain a few things. I decided the beanie babies were more visible than RJ/Casey, but "One Master Too Many" was totally a coming out episode in my mind. Being a wolf, being gay... six of one, half a dozen of another :)

Episode 12: One Master Too Many

Tea cards ~
The one Casey's holding says, "Love has no fear and no vengeance."
The one RJ's holding says, "Live from your heart, you will be most effective."
And the one on top in the bucket says, "Live for each other."

Episode 11: "Pushed to the Edge"

Hi ♥

Dude, my sister actually has the Monty Python bunny rabbit! Perfect villain! The scrunchies that the bunny rabbit uses to trap the Rangers came from Marci, too... would you believe they're from her senior prom? One of them is holographic! I take full responsibility for Camille's star clips and tiara, though :)

Love, *Andrea

Episode 10: "Blind Leading the Blind"

Hi ♥

Oh, levitation. You make this project... more entertaining. Master Swoop had to not be in the final scene, because I only have two hands, so I could only hold the camera plus one beanie baby at a time. Also, candles, sticks and string, and post-it note fans that make Lily and Theo's weapons oppositely colored! Fran gets a dragonfly :)

Episode 9: "Good Karma, Bad Karma"

Hi ♥

So Casey is apparently impervious to slime in this episode, and also, he runs a lot. I had a random backwards moment while I was shooting this, during which I forgot what kites look like, so I labeled Josh's kite for helpfulness. Also, sekitou gave me the butterflies in the store years ago! Aren't they pretty?

Episode 8: "Way of the Master"

Hi ♥

Bless A.C. Moore for their lovely craft items and tolerant staff: not only have they supplied several of the beanie babies in this project, they also allowed me to collect some of the loose flowers underneath their silk flower collection. You know, the little blossoms that fall off while people are picking them up and putting them back? Free garden for Lily!

Also, the blue power beads that stand in for Lily's "elephant mace" were a gift from years ago. She made them! The bracelet and the beads! Isn't she fabulous?

Love, *Andrea

Episode 7: "Pizza Slice of Life"

2009-03-29T00:00:23Z

Hi ♥

So Marci and I used to have a dollhouse. I had sort of forgotten this until I stumbled over some of the accessories while looking through her boxes for beanie babies. I might have gotten a little carried away with the kitchen chaos, which was intended to increase from scene to scene until the last panel--I just threw in more and more stuff until, in the second to last panel, you can actually see a can of soup lying on the floor next to Theo ^_^

On the other hand, if any restaurant were going to have canned soup lying around, it would probably be RJ's.

Episode 6: "Dance the Night Away"

Hi ♥

I mentioned to my sister how quickly I was going through minions, and she kindly supplied several new beanie babies to fill this role. Including the dancing Minion of Evil featured in this episode. Thank you marcicat!

Episode 5: "Can't Win Them All"

Hi ♥

Yay! I have a table! Beanie babies prop well, and there's nothing like a nice table for everyone to lean against ^_^ Unless it's a purple tribble for lying on. Or a walking stick for balancing on. Theo was a good sport in this episode. Also, thanks to marcicat for loaning me her green pack towel as a practice mat!

Love, *Andrea

Episode 4: "A Taste of Poison"

2009-03-15T19:17:36Z

Hi ♥

This ended up being a cutely prop-heavy episode, to the point where I even gave Casey and Lily hats while they were "working" in the kitchen. Unfortunately, I forgot to put on their morphers while they were fighting! Oh well ~ it matches episode 3 that way :) I put them next to the camera for better remembering next time.

...The evil minion came with that red ribbon, by the way.

Love, *Andrea

Also,

solarbaby614 went on an avatar-making spree yesterday: beautiful Jungle Furry avatars! There are character avatars, dialogue avatars, and even action scene avatars (Jarrod *is mean* RARR!!) which I find truly amazing in a one inch by one inch square ♥ (My personal favorite is Fran going "Yay!") Please to be enjoying solarbaby614's fantastic talent ~ many thanks to her for sharing it!

Love, *Andrea

Episode 3: "Sigh of the Tiger"

2009-03-14T03:30:37Z

Hi ♥

It's funny, it turns out that staring at the same pictures for a long time makes it easy to miss obvious inconsistencies. I took out the spellcheck lines in the previous episodes and made the dialogue colors more uniform ~ although I left RJ's lectures blue, because the background was sort of boring in those pictures anyway. Speaking of: I've changed the loft background for prettier contrast :)

Also, I had some "casting" help in episode 3: marcicat provided great assistance with the kids' party scene, not only locating potential "children" but also lending one of her own. Because she's awesome like that.

Love, *Andrea

Episodes 1 and 2: "Welcome to the Jungle"

2009-03-12T02:51:11Z

Hi ♥

So I love Jungle Fury. I write about it a lot. I love beanie babies, too. I don't collect them so much as I just... can't resist their cute little faces. I also happen to own a camera, and... well, I actually learned to use a draw program for the sole purpose of doing this. It makes me very happy. It turns out that I really love drawing on pictures of beanie babies acting out Jungle Fury episodes.

Many thanks to Ty, Disney, and Tomohito Koshikawa, the last of whom designed this absolutely adorable community theme. Please to be sharing my delight :)

Love, *Andrea
