Coming-of-age behind-the-curve
Plot
The project was created as my senior capstone project. I worked with the Canadian author Vincent Sakowski to adapt one of his short stories to better fit the medium of stop motion animation. Production began in January of 2012 and was completed the 1st of May.
Deborah (Hebrew: דְבוֹרָה, Modern Dvora Tiberian Dəḇôrā ; "Bee", Arabic: دبورة Daborah) was a prophetess of the God of the Israelites, the fourth Judge of pre-monarchic Israel, counselor, warrior, and the wife of Lapidoth according to the Book of Judges chapters 4 and 5.
The only female judge mentioned in the Bible, Deborah led a successful counterattack against the forces of Jabin king of Canaan and his military commander Sisera, the narrative is recounted in chapter 4.
Judges chapter 5 gives the same story in poetic form. This passage, often called The Song of Deborah, may date to as early as the 12th century BC and is perhaps the earliest sample of Hebrew poetry. It is also significant because it is one of the oldest passages that portrays fighting women, the account being that of Jael, the wife of Heber, a Kenite tent maker. Jael killed Sisera by driving a tent peg through his temple as he slept. Both Deborah and Jael are portrayed as strong independent women. The poem may have been included in the Book of the Wars of the Lord mentioned in Numbers 21:14.
Deborah Fraser is a South African gospel artist with a solo career spanning close to decade and more than a million units sold, cementing her status as a singer of incomparable power in the tradition of richly melodious, faith-based pleasant music. Born in 1966 in KwaMashu in the KwaZulu Natal province, she started singing at school. Initially staying in Durban, she moved to Johannesburg, in the Gauteng province in 1985 to seek for greener pastures in the recording industry. She started out working with composer, singer and gospel producer Mthunzi Namba who also hails from her province. She rose to prominence after announcing that she is the voice being used in many songs that were only credited to the late Brenda Fassie.
She later featured in the Maria Le Maria project alongside Fassie, Lundi Tyamara and Peter Mokoena in a Chicco Twala-produced album before launching her successful solo career. Deborah was a backing singer for musicians like Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Fassie, Lucky Dube and many others. Together with contemporaries like Stella Khumalo, Mandisa Dlanga and Faith Kekana, they were the busiest session musicians. The quartet worked with every musician who needed to quality voices in their productions and ended up on almost every album produced in the country for the past seventeen years. In the early nineties, she toured around the world with former exiles Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Letta Mbulu and Caiphus Semenya. She lost her son, Mbuso, after birth in 1996.
The Crickets are a rock & roll band from Lubbock, Texas, formed by singer/songwriter Buddy Holly in the 1950s. Their first hit record was "That'll Be the Day", released in 1957. They helped set the template for subsequent rock bands such as the Beatles, with their guitar-bass-drums arrangements and tendency to write their own material. After Holly's death in 1959 the band continued to tour and record with different vocalists, releasing new material into the 21st century.
Holly had been making demo recordings with local musician friends since 1954. Sonny Curtis, Jerry Allison, and Larry Welborn participated in these sessions. In 1956 Holly's band (then known informally as Buddy and the Two Tones (meaning Buddy Holly with Sonny Curtis and Don Guess), posthumous releases refer to The Three Tunes) recorded an album's worth of rockabilly numbers in Nashville, Tennessee for Decca; the records were no more than mildly successful, and the band didn't hit pay dirt until 1957, when producer and recording engineer Norman Petty hosted Holly's sessions in Clovis, New Mexico.
I read your letter, I got it just the other day...
You seem so happy, so funny... how time melts away
It's such a pleasure, to see you growing
And how you sending your love to the air today
I think of Heaven... each time I see you walking there
And as you're walking, I think of children everywhere
It's in your star sign... you growing stronger
I can't believe you... so good to care
Thru enchantment, into sunlight
Angel's touch... your eyes...
Your highness... electric... so surprise
Is this your first life...?
It seems as though you have live before
You help me hold on...
You have a heart like an open door
You sing so sweetly... my love adores you
She does, she's thinking of you right now
I know...
The summer's coming...
I'll keep in touch so you're not alone
Then like the swallow, you'll fly away like birds have flown
So let me tell you... how much I Love You
I'd make the songbirds sing... for you again...
Well now it's goodnight...

There's a girl living in this town
She's a fox and she knows it well
All the fellows for miles around want to get her but
they never will
Just to have a girl with so much class
They'd crawl a mile over broken glass
And she'd let em do it just for a game
Deborah's her name

Deborah's her name
She's the kind that never follows fashion
Gotta make up her own
All the other kids quick to catch on act like they've
always known
But you should see em when the lights go down
Looking at her as she moves around
Pretty soon they're gonna look the same as the famous
Deborah

One day when my ship comes in
I'm gonna make her wonder where I've been
I'll get some money and I'll jump in my car

I'll take her driving up to the top
When we get started ain't gonna stop
I'm gonna go and pick that wild flower
And her name is Deborah
