The Metamorphosis "Changes"

I present to you my first animated film, a music video of Franz Kafka's classic novella "The Metamorphosis".
After some serious thought, I decided that David Bowie's "Changes" was best suited to help tell the story of how Gregor Samsa awoke to find himself transformed into a gigantic insect.
I, of course, do not own "The Metamorphosis" or David Bowie, so all copyrighted credit goes to the rightful parties. A special thanks to my friend Abby, who provided the song, and to Miss ShadowLeggy, a very talented YouTuber whose "Resident Evil Musicals" inspired me to try my hand at animation!

Enjoy!

Glad you like it, though now the whole video seem pretty lame in my eyes. That's the penalty of time, I suppose.

[jake2beck]

Thank you very much for the compliments! I created this as part of an assignment, but I have yet to show it to my class. Feel free to use this, but be warned: I don't know how it will be received in an academic setting!

Niiiice-- hopefully will create curiosity amongst youtubers to check out Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis-- a long and complex book, which you did a great job of reducing to a 3 minute music vid.

I watched this vid b/c i wanted to see David Bowie do "changes" not live; yet the animation, expressions, and movement of the story was very impressive and entertaining. Keep it up.
