Sets, waffles, and the superbowl

here is a basic environment of the junkyard in which my story takes place. We had to block it out, and then start the modeling process. The colors go on later and a lot of refinements will be made but this is the basic set where all of the action will take place.

Today I planned to go and check out this waffle place I'd seen before. They have a big sign that says authentic Belgian waffles. So I went down there and lo and behold they were closed. All day. How do you close a waffle place on Sunday? Seriously, I'm asking. It's just wrong.
So there I was standing in the rain outside the waffle place, that sign taunting me. I searched for a Denny's, there are a lot of those out here, but all in vain. I finally just came home, bought some syrup and made my own dang breakfast.

Sports bars out here will show a regular season hockey game over the Superbowl. That's almost as disturbing to me as a waffle place that's closed on Sundays. Things like this make me realize that I am truly a stranger in a strange land. It's the SUPERBOWL people! Sigh.

Next up is the infamous bouncing ball animation...
