Mat the Demented Rabbit

This is a short film I made while I was at university. It's about a rabbit called Mat, who is on the run from the police. It's not until the end that we find out why.

I am an animation student and I am impressed by your work! Are you an you an anime fan because you emulated that particular style very well. Good luck with your new career!

[maatiuu]

@paulod27 I was into both Japanese and American stuff at the time (the red sky was inspired by Batman), though I tried a bunch of Japanese techniques as you noticed. I'm really glad you liked it, and thanks! - best of luck to you too!

@maatiuu Cool, I never realised until the end of the animation that you graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone. I am going there in September for second year animation. If you don't mind me asking how was your experience with the course work at the University? Was the classical 2d animation stuff really hard? I am quite scared and excited about going.

@paulod27 That's cool! It was pretty decent - we learned some fundamental stuff to begin with (walk cycles), then in 3rd and 4th year we got to work on animation projects. Never be afraid to look at all sorts of different things when you're there. I hope you have fun, and say hi to Wayne for me!

Uhm.. dude.

*ehem* DOOD! :D

Im with Maturkus on this one.... u should look into sending it to some sorta cartoon company. Im sure you could do this for a living.. that IS what u want, right?

[maatiuu]

@LucarFox Yes, this is what I want to do. I'd like to make more though :)

[Maturkus]

Wow! Have you sent this to any of the big guys? I think this could go

'Very' far if it got financed and put on the air! I mean... You've got some reallt good scenes among your work on deviantart, you should make like, 10 or 15 sec clips that showed them in moving images and try your luck! I wouldn't really care if it was a series or a movie, I'd get my hands on a copy asap!

[naamisalbezet]

That was pretty awesome dude!

Don't bother people saying otherwise,

two thumbs up :D

[paulod27]

@maatiuu Thanks for your encouragement and advice! I will try my best to make it as educational and as fun as I can. And I'll say hello to Wayne for you when I see him aswell.

Hello :) I'm really an animator/visual artist rather than a sound person, so sound isn't my strong point. It was an experiment and at least I tried ^^

It's good to hear that you're more open-minded
