Hey Barry, here's the 1st scene from my graduation film at the UCA, i wondered if you'd have a look and tell me what you think?

Thanks Luke.

Hi there Luke, well firstly I want to know what happens next! Some very nice use of cutouts and beuatifully animated, especially the shots of the feet. Good design. The close-ups of the face were certainly close and perhaps that doesn't sit well with the wider shots, I'm not sure - well the wide shots are so lovely. Let me know when there is more to see.
all the best

Hi Barry, thanks for your reply, well i finally finished it! i put it online but i probably won't leave it up for long as i'm probably going to send it off to festivals. Tell me what you think, Thanks Luke.

Hi Luke, and thanks for putting this up. It's a beautiful atmospheric film, and all the better for being understated. You get some lovely effects and imagery with the cut-outs, and how brilliant to have got Ian Hogg too. Good use of changes of speed in the animation. Yes a nicely disturbing film. Well done.

Thankyou very much. Your right i was lucky to get Ian Hogg, i was going for Joss Ackland originally but at 1000 pounds an hour he was a bit steep for a student budget. Ian was kind enough to do it for free though and i think he turned out perfect for the narration, better than i could have hoped for!
