This short film was put together over several years by a single animator.  He finished it in 2006 but this is the first I've seen of it.  Speaking as someone who has done some animation work from time to time (in-house work at prior jobs) I have one word. ZOMG.

Ok, now that I've oversold it, check it out:

Looks great!

Haven't had time to watch the whole thing, but it certainly looks sophisticated.

Look at the "Useless Information", this gives an idea how much work and years it must have taken.

Just one of the many amazing and dedicated solo artists out there to produce some great short films on their own.
Some others:

Tomek Baginski

Available on its own (OOP) and The Animation Show: Volume 1 (followed up by the lesser Fallen Art on Vol. 2)

Ruairi Robinson

Also on The Animation Show: Volume 1

Makoto Shinkai


Became famous for Voices of a Distant Star, which has since had wide release (with She and Her Cat included as a bonus). Shinkai has continued to find work (The Place Promised in Our Early Days, 5 Centimeters Per Second).



Marco Spitoni

The Hunt (2001). He followed up The Hunt with a giant robot battle in Code Guardian


He also mocked up a Star Wars recruitment ad "Join the Empire". All videos are available from his website in better resolution than the YouTube clips provide.

...and I have to mention Don Hertzfeldt, who works very hard on his hand-drawn animations.


Although I prefer his early shorts, his newer ones are becoming quite technically complex


Most of Don's work (all but the most recent) is collected on Bitter Films: Volume 1, available from his website.
Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!)

looked like Stephen King meets Tim Burton .. (too bad it wasn't in High def ).. it was good though..

when I glanced at his name  (the artist  ) it was designed  the same way as Chuck Jones .. had to do a double take.
In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Thanks for sharing, Ken.
