I am so sorry for the millionth (third) upload of this - the earlier file got the beginning chopped off and unless I'm missing something you can't just change film files willy-nilly, so. Here we are again. Last time, promise!

Oh hey, I got this to work! Somewhat of a re-upload, but now it's here good and proper. Youtube version at [link] is slightly better quality.

First project for intro to animation! As usual, instead of cracking my head brainstorming I recycled characters from old paintings, i.e. the guys here at [link] - I guess foxschund's name is Absurdity, now. The pup is, er, "Doggie Elvis", I think, courtesy of two of my classmates. Um.
I had a lot of fun with this! And a lot of pain! But mostly fun. I've got a lot to learn about movement--since this was on a pretty tight deadline I banned myself from references and just churned out frames instead. Wish I'd more time to fix up better sfx and time the beats properly, but it is kind of due today. Hope you enjoy watching it!

Drawn in Photoshop CS5 and composited in Aftereffects, over many hours within two weeks. Sounds from here and there on the web, I take no credit for 'em.
@01:26It's really a feat to have done this whole short by yourself! Animation takes so much blasted time not many can finish even short pieces You definitely have a knack for it! Hope to see more
@01:26I think it was just school breathing down my neck that enabled that speed xD Maybe one day I'll put in the time and effort to make a better quality piece, but I'm uncertain if I'll have the drive!
