    Giant metal spider on the loose in Sheffield, Beware!

    Breaking news everyone! Something rather inexplicable has happened down on Savile Street East.

    The giant metal spider that once resided on the wall of the Old West Gun Works - home of the company Gripple Ltd. - has somehow come to life, uprooted itself from it's web, and headed off to parts unknown...

    Intrepid reporter Daisy Roopfall has all the facts, and her video report is now up on the web.

    Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdjXs22jygw

    There's one question on everyone's lips; simply, 'Have You Seen The Gripple Spider?'

    I remember someone (I presume Vini) asking about how to animate that a few months ago. Nice work!

    would have been better if a few months ago you hadn't asked us if anyone could animate it unless of course the date is just a coincidence and this is the finished article now. in wich case ill watch it later

    This is more of a "here's why I asked" - None of you guys (infact, anyone?) will fall for it...

    I just thought I'd show you the end result. Pretty good I think.
