Description Mat the Demented Rabbit

Here is a short film I made from September 2006 to May 2007 for my BA Hons animation degree - "Mat the Demented Rabbit".

The story involves Mat, a rabbit on the run from the relentless cops of Deco City. It is not until the end that you find out why.

Yeah, I know. The sound ain't the best and the story is, well...but I consider this film an experiment, to see what I could and couldn't do. But most of all, it was my chance to have fun and make my very own movie, with my own characters.

If you would like to know more about my film, like 'what software I used', then visit my Mat the Demented Rabbit FAQ here - [link]

I hope you like it

HakuryuVision In reply to Machu [2009-05-19 22:24:21 +0000 UTC]

Oh, yes i did!
At the beginning i was confused what the whole movie was about, but then i simply started to enjoy the animations!
I mean it looks 100xtimes better than the cartoons nowadays.
So smooth moves~

Machu In reply to HakuryuVision [2009-05-19 22:41:00 +0000 UTC]

The story for this wasn't my best I focused more on action and flashy effects. Hopefully I can learn to be a better storyteller instead of relying so much on trying to make visuals look cool. It's good news to hear that I can at least animate ^^

HakuryuVision In reply to Machu [2009-05-19 22:59:18 +0000 UTC]

"at least"? ><
You are AWESOME in animating!
...maybe i should keep you in mind, if i'm looking for people who work in my anime-company... *dreams*

Are you using Flash?

Machu In reply to HakuryuVision [2009-05-20 08:37:41 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I use Flash, but I also animate with more traditional techniques. For this film, I drew the frames on paper and coloured them digitally. If you want to know more you can note me ^^

Machu In reply to Zippy-Badger [2009-05-10 17:46:42 +0000 UTC]

Check out my FAQ on the film. The section under 'What process did you use to make your animation?' will tell you how I made it - [link]
But the frames were first handdrawn then coloured in Photoshop

sinenV In reply to ??? [2009-04-08 21:05:31 +0000 UTC]

Well as you said, the audio wasn't the best I've heard, but I liked the video a lot. The animation and backgrounds kinda reminded me of one 90's anime where everything looked grainy and not so colourful and bright as they do now, and this was funny to watch.

Machu In reply to sinenV [2009-04-09 10:28:09 +0000 UTC]

Animations from the 1990's are what inspired the style, and I wanted to make a cartoon like that. Thanks for watching

As I have said on your uderpage, I am absolutely in LOVE with your drawing style. Seeing it all in motion is absolutely stunning! I love the speed and fluidity of the animation. I could easily see this aired on television. It's very high quality and full of character!

Machu In reply to Rascal4498 [2009-03-08 16:24:12 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, a lot of people seem to like that quote
The reason I added that part was to show an out-of-place moment where Mat could 'take a break' from panicing and being chased.
Thanks for watching

i imagine that it starts to get annoying when people have nothing to say other than "i liked it" right? i notice that, save a few who are obviously close friends, there is a severe lack of intelligence or imagination among most of these remarks. feel free to delete this comment if you wish.

Well, it's hard to respond to such comments, but at least I know they liked it
On the other hand, you yourself could have commented on my film (though my guess is you did like it)

I'm happy you liked it that much I doubt I'll make a direct sequel to this story, but I do hope to make another cartoon of Mat and Brixie sometime in the future.
