Here it is, way later than I intended. Production details and general rambling on the vimeo page and in this blog post. Thanks to Boum for the feedback.

That was fun to do. Except the part where I had to render for two days and yanked out all my hair in frustration. Eventually I’ll be bald, and then I don’t know what the natural progression is for yanking out in frustration. Teeth maybe? That would explain why there’s so many angry bald toothless old men.

Here’s another frame because there was a problem with my last render and so here we are waiting for another 14 hour render. Yay! At this rate it might be faster for me to screencrap every frame and put it on tumblr. Then you just scroll really fast.

A still from the short I started last week. I was hoping to finish it yesterday, but the render took forever and I just noticed a bunch of animation glitches that I missed when I was animating because After Effects and my computer have a blood feud or something and I can’t actually preview stuff properly when I’m working. Hopefully a couple more days and it should be done for realsies (it takes a day to render… man I need a new computer). SOON (I hope).
