Spotlight

A short film I directed in my second last year (2010) in Balleyfermot College with Stephen Fitzgerald and Sarah Cherif. I'm really pleased with the mood and feel of this creepy little film. I never animated more in my life than i did for Spotlight, but then I learned so much in the process.
Enjoy!

Cats and the bees

Was sitting outside my backgarden yesterday in the 2 mins of sunshine we had, and was beside a rose bush were there was a couple of bees flying around. My cat was fast asleep underneath not taking any notice. So I grabbed some charcoal and just scribbled away, I applied textures later in photoshop. Something different then im used to, but the effect is nice I think.
