Hamishmash Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 CIRQUE DES ENFANTS is my animated short made for my art college final piece. YOUTUBE: NEWGROUNDS: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/535878 Tell me your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 To elaborate what I said on twitter. I like it, definitely creepy (but then the circus normally is :p). But particularly sinister anyway. Some nice designs, I like the evil owner guy with the huge nose. One question about it though; why is it so 'wobbly'? Presumably intentional but I found it a bit jarring personally. And to be nosey; which uni are you going to? Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks for the comments. The wobbliness was intentional, and to give it a hand drawn feel. You're the first person who hasn't liked that actually, most point it out as a plus. I wanted to get as far away from the cold, smooth flash look that too many cartoons have these days. Oh and I'm going to Kingston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I'm going to Kingston. I didn't say it was bad, just jarring :p Which can work given the theme. I dunno, I felt a bit drunk at times :p But by no means would I say its bad and should be removed, just a comment. And cool, I'm heading off to Central St Martins (Uni of the Arts...people tend to give me a strange look if I just say CSM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hey I'm going to Kingston! (unless my parents TOTALLY REWIN MY LYFE AND SAY I CANT) Loving it. -- Anyway, it was pretty cool. I got that the wobbliness was to make it a bit more vivid and lively, it was fine for me personally. I liked the story, it was cute/creepy.

Guy Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 This is seriously cool. What course are you doing to get to do such awesome projects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I'm at a local college completing an Art Foundation course before I specialise at uni. Everyones doing totally different things for the final project, this film will be up against textiles pieces, photography, huge life drawings, paintings, etc. It's pretty awesome.

Hamishmash Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 So yeah, now I'm an award winning film maker. :P I won the art college's Best Film Prize and got myself £100 so top banana! I'm collaborating with the musician again for a shorter video but it couldn't be further from this film so don't expect more of the same :p. Think more... ThunderCats meets ... Tron...
