Description
Alright!! I can now upload films to DeviantART! That means instead of linking to my YouTube page, I can actually have my stuff here!!! How exciting!(I shall copy/paste my comments from the other one..)
This was my final project for my Beginning Animation class in the spring semester of 2009. Created with sharpie and cel paint on good old fashioned animation cels. Backgrounds printed out from Photoshop. Filmed on a 35mm animation camera. Laser pointer dot created with a laser pointer.
It took approximately 3 months to make and 10 hours to shoot. I never would have finished painting all the cels if it weren't for the four other members of my family pitching in for a weekend. I love them so! *hugs!*
All and all, I'm very proud of how it turned out. I was actually one of the few people in my class to use actual cels - most of the others used paper. A lot of extra work on my part, but I think it was worth it!
animation is (c) mahself

Awesome! Lol, I used to do that with my cat all the time, she would be like what? every time she got the lazer.

XD That was awesome. I keep trying to do this with my own cat, but she's an old fart; my dog responds more.
I love the animation style; looks like it came straight from an old cartoon.
Congratulations on the DD!

The real reason why Rusty became a Warrior.
He wasn't adventurous, he just got pissed when the humans stole his seat and wanted to get away.

I love this! Really! It has that 90s vibe I love and want for the animation I want to make.

Poor cat! Although that expression at the end speaks of mischievous revenge! Well paced and nicely coloured. A joy to watch.

You've succeeded in making me despise my own kind in favor of a cat's comfort. Good work!

Hahaha! This is a hilarious scene. It reminds me of the old Tom & Jerry or Bugs Bunny cartoons. Classic comedy! Good job!

that was great, the experessions on the cat were a good mix of natural cat reaction and logic, as well as more actual human structure to help relate it to the audiance. also this whole thing was damn cute. good job
