Dear Death : Stewball, a bipedal horse, is being
stalked by Death, from his dreams to his cubicle job. Stewball writes a
letter to Death, asking why he's being followed; Death replies, inviting
Stewball to meet in the park. There, Stewball plays with a girl who
reveals an unexpected perspective on life.
SHORTSEEING : Who is that hooded figure "painting" all the buildings
around with his dry brushes? Why does he keep repeating the same actions
on different walls in other areas? The work of the mysterious artist
starts to bother a policeman, since his routine always ends with an
awkward encounter with the bizarre individual.
The Pioneers of Fear : "In this comedic parody, a group of famous film
icons meet for a weekly dinner party, where they reminisce about the
past"
Revelation - the City of Haze :
Marketed Collecting : "Cheap collectibles (also known as manufactured
collectibles) are objects made for one purpose only: to be collected. It
could seem that the decision to purchase a collectible is only
influenced by a peer or through a random find at a flea market, but in a
lot of cases marketing has stepped in. Fake limited edition buttons try
to persuade consumers to buy quickly; misleading articles on the rising
value of a certain collectible promise instant profits; eBay alerts
remind potential buyers of auctions about to close: all these incentives
awaken competitiveness, just like a video of someone opening of new
package of Poke'mon cards on YouTube wets the appetite of other
collectors.
Light at the End of the Tunnel : A music video featuring the 3 person
band, Bel Heir, portrayed as animal characters who travel through
forests, western towns, aboard trains on a search for the West Coast and
the light at the end of the tunnel. Along the way leave the woods
behind and find their way to the Southwest, along railway rides through
the the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains, the San Gabriel Mountains
and finally they reach the West Coast just off Malibu, California. The
light at the end of the tunnel is the journey, the glowing sun that
follows them along the way - and the final arrival at the Pacific Ocean.
Seeking : I am a pessimistic person, I always struggle and stressed
everyday, however, the more thing I have experienced, I discovered that
there is lots of good thing in the world. This short animation is to
show my dark side in my mind and how I feel towards the world like the
universe and nature, it is a way for me to express my emotions and
release my stress. I hope this short film can help not only me but the
viewers to think in different ways, the world is so beautiful so there
are so many meaningful and inspirational things to see and do, so try to
stay optimistic and seek new ways.
The Velvet Abstract : A Short Film About the Environmental Age from a
Team Spanning Six Continents.
Fowl Play : Inspired by the poor condition of where chicken live before
they are eaten. The film is about a chicken having fantastic dream
before it is killed. No matter how bad the situation it is, he always
indulges in love dreams.
Kansay's Glorious Death : "Kansay the Spider faces the demigod Tesshin
at the Iron Gate. The Spider is one of 99 assassins sent to unleash Hell
upon Earth from beyond the grave. ""Kansay's Glorious Death"" is the
first chapter in Kansay's quest for power and revenge.
Hell 99 follows the separate stories of 99 assassins. Each negotiate a
variety of terms to perish from their mortal existence and descend into
the many hells to seek out a target so big that it may unravel reality
as we know it."
Curse of the Wolf : A wolf searches for his daughter who disappeared
mysteriously.
Watchcat : Who is Watchcat? He's the crime fighting cat who protects
your neighborhood.
Yesterday, I got a freelance opportunity to animate a very famous Mouse and for the next few weeks, he will be keeping me quite busy. Pretty sure I can't post anything more about it, so if I miss next Wednesday's posting, you'll know why.
Soon schools will be letting out for the summer break and during our summer, we are in the process of planning out storyboards for 4 future episodes, producing an animatic with a final soundtrack.
Our goal is to get funding for 4 Watchcat episodes to final animation and have a big enough budget to hire a crew. We are only considering setting up a crowd funding campaign, if we can deliver the goods.

We are in the process of setting up an online store on this blog or somewhere else. We only have a few products ready to sell and you can see them here.
So until then, here's a cat with real fighting skills... Enjoy!
