Description

A blue clay man warns an orange clay man not to cross the streams because they are deep. This is part of my university assignment and uses a combination of stop-motion, cut-out and 2D computer animation. I also dedicated this to Harold Ramis.

I don't know why I like it but I do

The figures don't stay in place like they should.

This is one of my university assignments where we were asked to use a combination of animation techniques. I went for a mixture of stop-motion, cut-out and 2D computer animation. I felt I particularly did well with the lip sync, subtle movements and animating the stream in 3D; however I feel I could have moved the eyes more and the men shouldn't be moving too much when they talk. Other than that, I thought it would have been lovely to dedicate this to Harold Ramis who passed away quite recently. Maybe that's why the 11 Second Club came up with the Ghostbusters sound clip for March?
