Description Well, as promised, here it is at last: my latest animation I have slaved over for the past two months.

I wanted to make an animation that captures the essence of a children picture's book in it's design and story but make it come alive in the animated form. And think this worked out pretty well given the time and possibility. With the aid of my English co-worker Michelle Radford who did the voices and fellow student Alexander Reumers who does Design of the Media who composed quite a suiting musical score for it on very short notice.
It became more alive with their help than I ever could possible achieve on my own. I just wrote the story (with some grammatical help from my friends) hand painted all the characters and backgrounds which I then assembled first in Photoshop and then staged in After Effects, animated the action, worked out a montage and lip-synced the whole damn bloody 3 minutes of it.

It's just a crappisch mpeg, but that's the best I can do. If you want to see it in it's full glory go see me personally in the Netherlands. I'll try to keep it online for as long as possible though as I figure there are a lot of eager Deviants out there who want a look.

I hope it won't disappoint. Enjoy.

Omfg. <333333 If this is a crappy mpeg, do I even want to see it in its full glory? I think I'd die. @_@ I think the bees are extremely cute. Great job.
