The Soap Box Derby

[Raven]

Oh that's brilliant, and with such beautiful photographs.  The Countdown photograph ('1....') is wonderful: if that was a poster, I'd buy it!  And Baby sister is so cute with her 'Cars', and I love that Nathan brought flowers.

And.... I notice that Sonia may be giving up on her anti-dress-bursting diet!

Super story.

[Pynedor]

Great pictures and story, with an unexpected ending!

[Birdie]

  Thank yooouuu!!

Ha! You noticed! 

There's also a Mitri and a Birdie cameo.

Aawwww, that was such a cute story! I really liked your photography, especially those last few frames. And how the little baby kept saying "cars?" The ending was really sweet. Well done.

What a wonderful story dear Friend 

If such a lovely and creative modern city and photostory is the result of the bad weather, then let the rain falls down as I am loving it 

I have never had a chance to attend a soap boax racing and really wish I will be able to someday

Thank you so much Rhalius, you've been saying I should do something like this for a while, so I hold you partially responsible 

Well, whenever you make another awesome diorama I'm just starting to picture all kinds of stories going on there because you always manage to let the clickies really come to life with so many little details.
And once the diorama eventually has to be brought down, you'll always have a story or stories to remember it by, alongside the great pictures of the overall diorama. 

The beauty of the storytelling is that you kind of get to make your own movie and have complete creative freedom over it. 

Looking at it the second time, I noticed your cameo as well. Can't believe I missed it the first time.

And how the little baby kept saying "cars?"

Thanks a lot    Both my nephews had 'auto' (car) as their first word!

Thank you Karim    Yup, the weather will be horrible right up until 1st September. Luckily uni only starts in three weeks, and I'm still on study leave.
I think I'll do a Zoo next.

The beauty of the storytelling is that you kind of get to make your own movie and have complete creative freedom over it. 

That IS cool, I thought it would just be a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun coming up with the story, creating the scenes and searching for parts to make them work. And you really see the 'movie' as you get further along.

[reimagination]

This was great. And it's so exciting to see a female protagonist and people of color being main characters.

[PlaymoMan]

Wow, excellent story! The photography was very well done, it felt as though I was watching the race. The speech bubbles were well positioned, as were the various other "effects", such as the whoosh of the cars racing down the hill and the impact of Meg hitting the ground after swerving to avoid the dog. Great job!

[conniefrere]

Amazing! Great story, just as Raven I like the "cars" and the "baah" comments of the baby sister. The purring cat is great too btw. And everything else!
