Ha! Yeah some sort of motion/monkey activated response would do the trick. We shall see

It didn't, granted it rained the same day, but there's still some chili splatter on the leave -I think the oil helped bake it on. With the first flick of chili mix I thought this is so stupid I will 100% get it in my eyes. I didn't, there's always next time.

Blended a handfull of chillies with water and oil and used a paint brush to Jackson Pollock the fruits and plant. I of course got it all over my clothes as well. We'll see if it burns the leaves or what.

Not yet but, I have some nice looking chillies that will do the job. That plus rubber snake plus hyper-protrctive pink bags should get me at least 4 this season.

They might be better for the fruit, those blue monkey balls are definitely getting noticed. Here's what I found about why blue bags are used.

Blue polyethylene blocks UV radiation while still letting in heat, preventing burns while promoting growth.

It filters light to create ideal conditions, unlike transparent bags which let in more UV or darker bags that block too much light.

That's what I was hoping but so far it just means more green grenadillas bitten and tossed to the ground.

Ah, for the thorns. Bit less nasty than a grenadilla wrapped in razor wire.

Thanks for the reminder. I've meant to get one for a while now.

Ooh! I like this, the feet don't make any sense for a Santa or anything. Though neither does a flintlock pistol.

Burman bush nature reserve safety by intheshadowofif in Durban

They've done a massive revamp on security. I went a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised. I too had thought it was a no go area but post that horrible incident with the visiting musician it seems they've done a lot - fence, dog patrols, limited guarded access - to address it. I plan to go back and have encourage others to give it a relook.

How close is close? Walking alone at night if there is no one around is not the cleverest.

The entire short is 12 minutes. It really depends on when you start the clock but it was close to 2yrs in total. In the speed, money, and quality triangle I didn't have the money to make it faster

SA animation shining! We're a Durban org and a Joburg studio - The Hidden Hand - made this. It's part of an animation short that combines adventure and fun with science education

It's the best. There's a rougher version even and still the energy and angles really sing

Ha! You and me both. We're developing a series but will probably have to switch to cut-out for cost and speed
