JAB - animated short film
I made this!
This is the second film I've made with my mate Keith, I posted the previous one we did last year (called Blind Date).
This time its a modern version of the poem Jabberwocky. Once again all the animation is done in After Effects, and we green screen in anyone foolish enough to stand in front of the camera long enough (usually me).

That's some fricking awesomeness you've got there.
How long did that take you?

We filmed the live action stuff over about 5 evenings I think, then the animation took about a further 6 months. Its all very amateurish, mid end pc's and camera, working a couple evenings a week after work kinda thing. But we were accepted to a few festivals for it, including the Edinburgh Film Festival again this year, and were in the same competition as Shaun The Sheep, which I think you'll agree is a measure of something. I don't know what though.

Well done.
Very top work. Have you sent it to Passion Pictures? They often need After Effects animators.
