i met the walrus

I quite like this, quite nice animation... just like the mix of hand drawn and 3d and how it moves seemlessy between the two so you don't notice any difference.

Some city films to check out.


Most of the films below are narratives, set in particular cities, using them as a background. They don’t necessarily work in the same way that a film about an architectural proposal would work. But is worth taking out the DVD’s and looking through, finding moments you like, getting a feel for the collage/montage/sequences of effects and images.
