STORIES
NOTE: The first eight stories were shot on 35mm film and scanned in.
Please forgive the quality of the pics. I’ve included them to show
the evolution of the Crew, the storylines and the sets.
1 - The Chair with Daprima & Grace
2004
DAPRIMA:
Hello, my name is Daprima. I recently moved in with A-m, my new guardian. We live in New York City. My little sister, Grace arrived a few weeks before me.
GRACE:
Hi I’m Grace, and I’m going to tell you a story.
It's truly an exciting story too. You'll see.
GRACE:
Hello Kitty and I were bored, so we went exploring around, you know, looking for treasure, and we spotted this big blue chair. Well, it was very heavy and Daprima was busy reading. So, while I was trying to move it closer to the TV …
GRACE:
… It fell right on top of me. Yes it did!
DAPRIMA:
Grace, I was not too busy reading my book. I came, right away,
to help you. You're just too impatient.
GRACE:
Anyway, there I was stuck under this huge chair.
I couldn't breath and as I was gasping for air …
DAPRIMA:
Oh Grace, you’re such a drama queen. The chair wasn’t that heavy,
and I got it off of you. There was no gasping for air.
GRACE:
You're ruining my story.
DAPRIMA:
As you can see, Grace survived.
GRACE:
And now, when I watch my cartoonies, I have
this neat chair to sit on.
2 - The Park with Grace & Daprima
Grace, want to come to the park with me?
GRACE:
Wow! The park - you bet A-m!
GRACE:
Daprima, we're going to the park. Want to come?
DAPRIMA:
Tempting, but I'd rather spend the afternoon reading.
GRACE:
OK - but you'll miss all the fun, yes you will.
DAPRIMA:
Enjoy yourself.
Later, in the park...
Grace, will you stay with Theda while I get us some water?
GRACE:
Sure, I can do that. Theda and I are best friends, yes we are.
GRACE:
Look Theda, a tree. I just love trees, yes I do.
GRACE:
Do you know why? Because I love to climb them.
Then, I can go way up high and see everything.
Grace, what are you doing up there?
GRACE:
Uh ... Theda chased me?
She chased you up the tree?
GRACE:
Yes, yes she did. I think she thought I was a squirrel. You know how
she loves to chase them. Yes, that's it, she thought I was a squirrel.
A squirrel? I don't think so. Are you telling me a story?
GRACE:
Hehehe just a little one.
Time to come down. It’s too hot.
Let’s find a nice, cool place in the shade.
GRACE:
Wow, look at that. It's so big. What is it?
That's the George Washington Bridge.
GRACE:
Do you think I could climb it? It would be so much fun. It wouldn't take me
very long to get all the way to the top. Do you know what I would do then?
I’d touch the clouds. Yes I would. Can I climb it? Can I please?
No, I don't think so.
GRACE:
Oh I'm sure I could. I could go right to the top.
Not today. It's time we went home.
GRACE:
Can we come back tomorrow?
We'll see.
GRACE:
Daprima, we're home! You'll never guess what I saw in the park.
