Hi All
Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12B_NJA9nh8&list=UU73wJ5hBUM1y6qoELaJZDQw
And here's the other: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IRICvK5M5A (I posted an early version of this a long time ago)
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Best Wishes

It took me a moment to get the India gag, which was a pleasant groaner.
LIked the animation on the other one and the choice of object was nicely surreal.
I guess there's not much depth to be got into with "quick dumb cartoons", but I enjoyed both. The first was more original, but, although I basiclaly knew how the 2nd woudl end, the details were well chosen and the timing was good.
Thanks Tursiops

Really I should've drawn 8 frames for the man's walking cycle rather than 6. I was lazy and I'm not a great artist.
I chose a submarine partly because it was easy to draw.

Thanks gappy. So you missed the fact that both cartoons were actually attempts at solving Pollock's octahedral numbers conjecture? Tut. I don't know why I bother
They're both great and the first one has a surprisingly complex punchline well executed
Cheers sootyj!
Can't say much apart from I liked them both!
I've noticed that most of your animations are under 45 seconds. Is this due to time constraints or are you just practicing your animating skills at present?

Oh, no, I noticed they were both mostly Pollocks.

Bunch of reasons for doing short cartoons: Partly it's because of time constraits but it's also because I just prefer short sketches. Also I'm writing a lot of ten-minute scripts at the moment so it's nice to do other things like this in my spare time. With these cartoons I'm more interested in improving my writing, music and acting than my drawing/animating.

Damn, I walked into that
