Dingus

A man gets a job as a janitor at CERN (home of the Large Hadron Collider), where he meets a cat he calls Dingus. What kind of adventures will they get up to?
Science jokes, ahoy! Be warned.
============
This was my Final Major Project for my college course. We were set the assignment in March, although animation didn't start until mid-April. In order to meet the June 18th deadline, the script was altered and a LOT of corners had to be cut. But I did it.
20,908 individual frames were made, and strung together, and you're seeing the result.

@TheEPICtrainrider I downloaded Portal around the time I made that scene :P

It's not the only reference to it, though...

Hahaha, what was Curiosity Core doing in the trash?

Very nice animation. While the animation itself might have been a bit lacking, It did its job being very simple. Nice work.
