This is a clip from my student film.
It's rather a daunting thing to present it to y'all.
It was the first finished piece of animation I ever did.
It's 10 years old now, but it has some merit. 
There's some more info on it on a post further down the page...
After I did the picture above, I felt compelled to go back and put a saucy face on the body.

Well, I really enjoyed this Elliot!
I started at VCA Animation the year after you Eliot and found plenty of your original sketches and roughs stuffed into cracks and down behind drawing desks...I still have one somewhere. I loved your fluid squash and stretch and the fact that you choose to do 2D. I remember thinking there was a lot of Tom Waits's "Black Rider" in your film.
I enjoy your bitter jibes and jabs at our lacklustre industry. Thanks.
Cheers

Sorry I meant "Elliot"
Great stuff Elliot...Great stuff.
I am going to say it again....some excellent timing and pacing....really fun to watch!
Everyone - it is very kind of you to say so.
It's all a little old and daggy so it's nice to have some good feeback from some jolly international friends.
I liked that as well. It's amazing how much a few lines, with the music, can convey.
For no reason whatsoever I feel like screaming COOL! COOL! COOL! COOL! COOL! COOL! COOL! COOL! COOL!
COOL! COOL! COOL! COOL!
AWESOOOOOME!!!!!!
Ahhh!!!...I feel better now. I feel like if my brain emptied...I feel Californian!!!!!
Music, painting, drawing and now poetry.
You are a man of many talents Oscar.
I've been trying to work up and illustration based around these hollow idiotic compliments with not much success.
It could be a challenge for the week...

Hey Elliot, that is really great. Lovely timing matched to the music. Wow, I'd love to see you do more of this. Long live the independent shorts. Love the way it all builds. Great stuff. You should keep doing these.
Mr Dunn and Mr Donn - Cheers boys.
This thing is 10 years old now and did the festival circuit back then.
I would love to make more but that's all about time and money which are not things I have a lot of at the moment.
Also - it wasn't an independent short, it was my student film and I suspect I am infringing on some hefty copyright issues by posting it at all...
Very inspiring blog. Very personal work.
And I love your linkslist.This will keep me busy for a while.
;-)
