Why I'm Moving to Maine

A chilling glimpse into the not-to-distant future. The California Energy crisis has gotten out of control and its ramifications are quickly spreading throughout the US. What's a person to do? Where are they to go? Pack your bags everyone, its time to head to Maine!

'Why I'm Moving to Maine' was completed in just under three weeks at Cogswell Polytechnical College in Sunnyvale, California. The short was created by Eric Erbes with help from animators Matt Graham and Richard Saum. Only the plugs were drawn by hand, all other aspects of the film were created and animated in the computer using Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere.

@CTra1983 There's no resolution for this. The only thing that will stop me is if Gov. LePage makes an announcement with the Colonel of the Maine State Police, that they have passed a, TOURIST HARASSMENT LAW, that will cause Maine residents to be arrested on sight for looking badly, speaking badly, or acting badly to any tourist. The tourists statements will be considered probable cause to effect the arrest. Also the law must state that force can be used to arrest the Maine resident.

@hammer55292 Don't you have anything better to do than whine on videos associated to Maine? Get a clue.. you want to talk SO bad about people from Maine.. I'd like to know where you're representing because I sure don't want to go there. But, since you're just a waste of text not worth reading back to see if you mention where your "superiority" comes from. Probably some 10 yr old kid trying to be hard on the internet.

@hammer55292 You hope we all die? Your that evil? Just because YOU where treated badly, you want us all to DIE? There are over 1 million people in this state, innocent people and you want them to DIE? Whats wrong with you? Your sick, selfish and extremely ignorant. If you don't like us that is fine, but we are humans too, we don't all hate! We are just like you, nobody is perfect.

@hammer55292 Jesus dude calm down we just humans like you, I'm sorry your visit wasn't perfect for you there is no need to hate all of us, just saying. If someone from Maine walked up to you and you didn't know it, you wouldn't see the difference. I mean come on man we all the same why can't we just get along?
