These are stills from a 10 second short I made back in college. It was one of 10 commisioned by Channel 4 to promote their 4-Mations season. It was all done the old-fashioned way with cels & paint, scraped back to give it that scratchy look. 9 other students from art schools around the UK were commisioned too, each in a different medium & set to a piece of classical music. Mine was set to Mussorgsky's 'Gnomus'.

I remember seeing this on telly, and then meeting the guy who made it. It went out on air very late at night if I remember. Accomplished work for a student!
Most of us were still copying Disney characters when we were in college. I want to make babies with you.
I would go as far as making babies with you, but you were, even back then a talented bugger!!!

Hey thanks all for the response. I wish Christian Garland had a blog so you could all see his 4-Mations spot - he's the only other person I know who did one. It was a great way for Channel 4 to support student animation - the budget for mine was £1000 & the college gave it ALL to me! Got me through my course & kept me in beer & Ryvita.
Boris & Andy - let's be a three father family & we'll decorate the nursery together?

I'm going to act it out on my way home. My car speaks to me. It's special.
