Overcast

Saw this today on the Brew. Student film made by James Lancett and Sean Weston at Kingston University. It totally works. I love how they melded the hand drawn animation onto live video plates- I think the shot of the rain in the cereal helped sell the connection a ton. Very clever.



And on a personal note- this film also aptly describes what this spring has been like here in Seattle. heh.

Awesome! Really like the mix of video and 2D too. It shouldn't work but it totally does.

the scene where he lost the cloud should have been more clear, maybe the cloud could shed a tear.

Also the resolution left me in doubt, perhaps he could have used the water to end drought
