Hey everyone, I just finished my short animation for uni and I wanted you guys to be the first to see it!

Hasn't got much to do with RJ, but the Monster is partially inspired by Molasar from The Keep movie.

PLease watch and let me know what you think! Good/bad, everything welcome! Big Grin

Cute, reminds me of how freaked out my mom gets over spiders. Everytime we go to visit her I end up killing spiders for her because she freaks and can't be in the same room with them...even if they are dead.

Nicely done! You certainly captured the feeling. Smile

That is excellent

For your next one you should consider asking FPW for permission to animate one of his short stories

Well done! That was funny! Smile

It reminded me of "The Incredible Shrinking Man" by Richard Matheson

It's well done, and I'm sure a lot of people can closely identify with it.

It reminds me of a song created by Michael Flanders and Donald Swann:



The Spider

I have fought a Grizzly Bear,
Tracked a Cobra to its lair,
Killed a Crocodile who dared to cross my path,
But the thing I really dread
When I've just got out of bed
Is to find that there's a Spider in the bath.

I've no fear of Wasps or Bees,
Mosquitoes only tease,
I rather like a Cricket on the hearth,
But my blood runs cold to meet
In pyjamas and bare feet,
With a great big hairy spider in the bath.

I have faced a charging Bull in Barcelona,
I have dragged a mountain Lioness from her cubs,
I've restored a mad Gorilla to it's owner,
But I don't dare face that tub ...

What a frightful looking beast -
Half an inch across at least -
It would frighten even Superman or Garth!
There's contempt it can't disguise,
In the little beady eyes,
Of the Spider sitting glowering in the bath.

It ignores my every lunge
With the backbrush and the sponge;
I have bombed it with 'A present from Penarth'.
It just rolls into a ball,
Doesn't seem to mind at all,
And simply goes on squatting in the bath.

For hours we have been locked in endless struggle,
I have lured it to the deep end by the drain.
At last I think I've washed it down the plughole,
Here it comes a-crawling up the chain!

Now it's time for me to shave,
Though my nerves will not behave,
And there's bound to be a fearful aftermath.
So before I cut my throat,
I shall leave this final note;
Driven to it - by the Spider in the bath!

Big Grin

Great stuff. You captured the exact feeling a lot of people get. Thought the music went very well too. Nicely done.
