Cat's Meow - A Short Film by Jorge Garcia

Hey guys! :)

Wow, it's been a while since I've been here... You even have a cool little smiley..
:mod:

But anyhoo! I am a graduating senior from Ringling College of Art and Design, and I have just recently finished my senior thesis; a little animated short film! And since I started my portfolio to get into college with the help of all the folks in the CA forums, I would love to show you said short!

Tehehehe, cute.
I love the personality that comes across in their expressions.

ahahah This is awesome! I listened to it twice, once with sound, second time without. I think your human character is VERY strong, especially the facial. Did you 2D the water from the hose? The end is just priceless.
Congratulation on a great project :)

Thanks for the comments guys! It is great to hear positive feedback! It's been a long year making this short and that makes it all worth it. :)

egerie- Yes! The water from the hose was done traditionally, and then colored and composed using Shake. :) It was fun to learn how to draw it.

Thanks again. I really appreciate your time!

I loved that the cat was very feline in movement, and the expressions were great. From surprised to 'ohnoyoudidn't', the shifts were well-timed and believeable. I don't know if this matters as much, but your short was one that I felt had a complete, self-contained story from start to finish, in the vein of Looney Toons or Tom & Jerry. I loved it, and it made me laugh out loud. Props to you!
