The Driver

allegorical film-noir-road-trip epic (well - making it was!) animation with original soundtrack featuring the luscious tones of guest chanteur Emma Harris (see www.emmasings.co.uk) - (who captured EXACTLY the smokey femme fatal vibe I was asking for), Dave "King-of-the-Keyboards" King, DrPJ on bass and me pouring my little heart out. Also features borrowed audio samples from Bernard Herrmann's score to Hitchcock's "Psycho" (no, not THAT bit...)

oo thanks! put together using P/shop and Flash s/ware. P/shop to build puppets (bits of mutated photos ala. dr frankenstein) - Flash to bring movement. Flash is eeeezzzy once you get started. You can import sound into Flash and synch your anim8n to it. took bloddy ages! finally joined all the bits together in QuicTime...details a bit lost on YouTube :( glad you like it tho

This is awesome, must have taken forever. Onomatopoeia and Tangled are particularly impressive too.

I am watching this with Ian Whitby's nephew (Simon) by the way.
