    I only managed to get this today, which is quite lucky, since it's been over 6 or more months when I finished it;

    During 6th Form, I was taking Media Studies as one of my subjects. For the final year I decided to do a short animation using clay, and this was the first time I have done such a project in my life. I learned quite a lot during the production of this. Towards the end I was running out of time and ended up having to quickly drew out my backgrounds and place them over the green screen and pretty much did a quick job of the sound work (ripped from Half Life 2 and Doom)

    As for the story, I intentionally left it vague for the viewers to decide for themselves what is going on and why. Hearing peoples' opinions on what they thought and what their interpretation of the story was quite interesting. You can question as much as you like and make up your own answers at the end. Who are these people? What is their relationship? Why did they go there? What are the demons? And so on. Enjoy!

    fucking A for effort ! i love claymation

    but i think you really should have spend more time with this thing in storyboard form because pacing/storytelling are like none existing ... i have NO fucking idea whats going on

    if you want to see a movie that gets its message and motivation across without a single word spoken check this out also notice how much slower everything is:

    Indeed, though it was my first clay animation afterall, I learned a lot and I have a better idea what I would do if I did it again. Pacing is deffinitely one of those things I'd improve on.

    Pretty neat, deffinitely has a more interesting pace to things - especially as it slowly starts to get faster.

    Thanks. I was rather motivated after finish it to doing some in my free time, but that all depends. It was deffinitely fun to work on, yet fustrating at other times. There were some points I had to remake my models to stop them falling down, and other problems during the beginning of the course that wasted time (giving me less time before the final deadline)

    Awesome job, Quakis.

    While I agree with the stuff mentioned earlier in this thread (that some things could have been improved) but you obviously recognize this, so no worries there. I'm sure that if you ever make another one, all those flaws will be ironed out. For the rest, I fucking enjoyed some of the fight scenes and the female character. It must have been really tricky getting some of that stuff to work right.
