2010 jack o\'lantern (edited... few more pics)

Well. here we go... hard to photograph this one, as it goes all the way around as well as literally over the top (of the pumpkin).

it's called "The Last Voyage of the Whaler Recompynse"

here's a shot of a good chunk of the 'front'



Detail of the men caught in the tractor beam



the men in longboat two, unable to do a damned thing... hahaha



Details of two of the UFOs (with requisite laser beams assailing the whaling ship and men in the long boats)



Mentioned the idea on the OT forum, but basically it plays with the concept of Alien Abduction.

From the Whale's point of view, the Whalers are unimaginable aliens, coming from another world to randomly attack. From the Whalers' perspective, it's all perfectly acceptable. ...until the whalers themselves are abducted too.

Three aliens ships matched by three alien ships... The nearest one is directly overhead, and is lifting a longboat from the water.

Here's a movie (might take a while to load, dunno how to make it smaller yet)...



that scream is a pain... i dialed the volume down but it still plays too loud. ah well.

included a so-called 'easter egg' in the pumpkin, toward the end, as the movie pans left away from the longboats, you might be able to pick out a humpback whale which is spouting, with another whale in front of him, tail in the air as it readies to dive.

here.



The whales, in this case, get away.. The crew of 'The Recompynse', unfortunately, is not so lucky... Payback (or 'recompense').

The movie is a little fuzzy, hard to shoot in low light. ...really needs to be seen in person, which is one of the things i like most about doing these. the don't last forever, and the need to be seen up close. Anyway, hope you get a kick out of it.

inspired by a bottle of Maudite, and the vastness of the ocean at night.
