Tam o' Shanter

I was asked to base this years' animation on a poem so I chose 'Tam O'Shanter'. I thought it would be an interesting multi-cultural experiment to introduce Robert Burns to an inner London art class. Purists may not appreciate the lack of narration or dialogue but it was my intention to tell the story in pictures rather than words. Since the poem is so long it would have been tricky compressing it to 3 minutes so the story was summarised thus;
Man goes to pub, gets drunk, shouts at girl on way home and gets chased.
Happens every weekend in towns and cities across the country.
