Check out this strangely uplifting animation short. It's set in a dystopian future, where the cross contamination of genetic material goes haywire. There are flying cats and businessmen with pigeon heads. It's moody and dark, with real strong imagery. The fact it's made on a shoestring budget, actually adds to the mood, big up to the filmmaker Carl Stevenson, who produced everything, including the sound and music. Ravster

really beautiful imagery, I love the aesthetic of the lo-fi quality

Um, no offense i liked almost all your other videos, but this looks like something my eight-year-old sister came up with and me and a monkey photoshopped this together.

Scary ~ this clip has been created in 2004 ~ it was viewed by 11.783 people to date ~ liked by only 84 ~ disliked by 20!

Does the message need to be stronger yet? Or ~ is human kind really too stupid and ignorant to realize how late it is already?

Back in the 80's we used to say it was "5 minutes to twelve". In 2011 it is way past twelve! What has to happen yet ~ to wake up all the stupid and ignorant? Or will they?? ~ ~ ~ ever ~ ~ ~ wake up?? ~ ~ ~

Thanks Tine for sending

It looks a bit like one of those 80s-90s adventure games, the style, the ideas at play. I thought it was menacing but also strangely humorous at times too. Very nicely done :)
