Whilst wondering in delusion lost in the far reaches of the Household, the Blackheart Gang stumbled across a seemingly unlikely gathering. This was a strange party of Arabella and Christian Netherwood, the white steed known as The Enduring Red Fountain, and a posse of the Piranhas. Here too they encountered another weary traveler who went by the name of Salvador Herrera. Salvador carried with him a moving-picture-capturing-device, and so the Blackheart Gang, unwittingly spurred on by the hearty jollity arisen within them at the sumptuous gathering, urged him to capture the experience all in the name of fun and posterity. The gathering was not as keen on this idea. And so, while the Blackheart Gang managed to narrowly escape with their lives, Salvador was never seen again.

 

 In the scurry to escape the wrath of the gods, the recorded material was severely damaged, so what you see before you is a reconstruction of the event, created by the Blackheart Gang as a tribute to their unlucky friend.

 

“The Lord made a big mistake,

To make the world from layer cake,

He cast a spell to see it bake

So tides will swell and plates will shake.

 

So if you ever wonder why;

Moun-tains erupt and fishes die;

Beyond the clouds beyond the sky;

Beyond the oven is a watchful eye.”

 

-Christiaan Netherwood

    I was supposed to go to a code-related website soiree, but when I heard that there was a new Blackheart Gang video in town I just had to come watch it, despite everything. Beautiful work, the puppets are masterfully crafted.
