Customs at PQ International Airport

It's late and you want to get to your destination. Long lines and grumpy officials greet you. Your three-piece luggage arrives in 11 pieces. You are randomly selected for hand inspection-- for the third time. But, at this point, somehow you don't care; you crossed over the International Date Line and don't know what month it is. Welcome to PQ International.
This project is composed entirely of hand-drawn animations and backgrounds. I penciled and inked frames on paper, scanned into the computer, colored in Corel Photo-Paint, and composited in 3ds max. I used Adobe Premiere to put all of the pieces together.

The idea came in April 2003 when I had to travel to Europe twice. Long waits in lines and on planes gave ample opportunities to think of ideas for this project. I started drawing frames in Nov. 2003 and finished in April 2004.

Customs at PQ Int'l was voiced by Erich Vorpagel.
