Animation Promo: IFFR 2008

I'm a big fan of the dutch filmfestival IFFR and I love making my own animations. So this year I decided to combine things and try to make something like a promo. I was not asked to do this, I'm making it for the fun of it. I hope you like it anyways!
Comments are welcome!

PS The music is added with Audioswap here on Youtube. The artist is called Stefsax, the song Awel. Thx for sharing! More info: http://ccmixter.org/media/files/stefsax/7785

For the dutch: Wellicht treffen we elkaar op het festival :-)

!!!! Since there are questions about the 'drug theme' I'm happy the elaborate:
At a festival like the IFFR, there are some independent movies with people in it who use and/or live drugs. Like in real life. I'm surely not endorsing it.
Drugs are, generally speaking, bad for you.

Some movies show the real hard side:
LIKE: Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082176/

Some will show it in an other way:
LIKE: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120669/

So thats why I choose to visualise it.

Here is a reprint of what I posted on Digital Webbing...

Heroin an F'ed Up Drug

------------------------------­----------------

Here's an idea that popped into my head...

Remember those Gumby characters the Block Heads? How about a street scene with a bunch of them shooting up heroin and then discarding their needles on the ground and the needles moving to form a skull and cross bones(Jolly Roger) and then a slogan something like "Only block heads use drugs".

I agree to the message. So when will you finish this clip :)

[Screechingweasel82]

Yeah that's nice, not sure if promoting drugs is typically a good thing but hey. I thought you had been commissioned to do this for the fest. Anyway it's nicely done.

[groeneg]

Look at the explanation I gave with the text for the clip. You can click the links to the films i mentioned (Christiane F. and F&L Las Vegas).

"drugs" WTF??

[groeneg]

Im not endorsing it. At a festival like the IFFR there are movies from all around the world. in some of them people are using drugs. Like in the real world.

LIKE: Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo

LIKE: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

So thats why I choose to visualise it.

Very nicely done.

Everytime I see a stop motion video on here I get a new idea.

Thanks for posting this, it's worth the watch.

I like it. At first I didn't understand but I always hold judgement. After I read the bio I get it.
