The Animator and the Seat

Chunk has been awake for an immeasurable amount of time, slaving away in his
cubicle on an animation that is long overdue. Armed only with caffeinated
beverages, Chunk must overcome his animatorly struggles and fatigue-induced
hallucinations without going completely insane. He has wrongly assumed, however,
that the only comfort available to him is his warm, padded computer chair. He
does, in fact, have no comfort available to him, and his chair is out to prove that.

This was my senior thesis animation for graduation at Ringling College of Art and Design, class 2007. Everything, including the annoying voice and excluding the music, was done by myself. Enjoy!
