Tallulah died too early and now lives in limbo - a small, defiant ghost who visits and revisits the scene of the tragedy on moonless nights. She is caught up in her sadness and the beauty of her sacrifice. She would do it all again. And does!

I originally wrote this script to showcase my skills when I did a 3DSMAX course, but hijacked it for a stop-motion animation course offered by UNIMA, the Cape Film Commission and AnimationSA from September to October 2009.

Am very grateful to UNIMA and AnimationSA Cape Town for offering so many of us the opportunity to learn from some of the leading lights in the industry - many thanks to the facilitators. You were unstinting in sharing tricks of the trade and we all learned so much.

Also much gratitude to Verna Jooste for her voice; (somewhat filtered and less sultry to sound more Goldie Hawn than Tallulah Bankhead), Carola Meyer and Warren Coetzer for their technical help.

And to the Randalls I have known - thank you for the inspiration.
