Thief Mastermind - a Computer-Animated Short

A penguin tries to steal a jewel from the museum, but doesn't count on security lasers blocking his path - he's just a penguin after all.

In case you're wondering, the conversation between the two security guards is "Yeah, so I still haven't caught that stupid Bulbasaur yet." "Still??" "Yeah I know, dude, he keeps eating my Pikachu, blah blah blah blah blah..."

I'm aware of some low-quality animation here and there, but keep in mind I'm new to this still and, given enough time for my skill level, my projects will improve in quality as I practice more. All the same, it earned me the "Student of the Month" Award!

This was my first computer-animated short movie for my Animation for Video/Film 1 class at Dale Jackson Career Center, animated in Lightwave 8.5 (same program used for Toy Story, the M&M characters, etc.)

Nice Nick. It was pretty humorous and your quite good at animating since you have only been doing it for a few months but this is coming from a guy who fails at making stick films work so take the compliment and don't ask any questions.
