Ode to James

Hi

We actually made this ages ago, but I'm pretty sure I forgot to post it.

This is a birthday present we made for our friend Frances, who very generously coded our website (www.rhubarbzoo.com). It's about her cat James. Unfortunately, James ran away and was never found a while ago... which makes this seem like a really odd memorial piece..

Anyway, not all of it is anime studio but a large majority is, the bits during the chorus were classically animated and coloured in Illustrator and it was all composited in After Effects. It's on youtube and deviant art (the quality on the deviantart one is a lot nicer):

Hope you like it

I like it! Some of the best work I've seen here. Very appealing character designs and the animation is great!

The song isn't bad either. I actually know some people who may get a kick outta this (my name's James

).

Wow, that was insane!

Very entertaining. Kinda feel sorry for James though.

Thanks guys

synthsin75: I assure that, before James ran away, he was treated with overwhelming love and care... we just exagerrated Frances' obsession with him for humourous effect

Cool clip, very spiffy indeed.
Isn't there a chain letter going around, petitioning against Frances getting another moggie?
