This was supposed to be a haiku animation, 5 seconds, 7 seconds, 5 seconds, but it ended up that it just worked out better like this.  I was also going to cut the dialogue up so that it fit into 5-7-5 syllables, but it just took too much away.  I spent the weekend submitting the micro-animations to the gigantic syndicates, like King Features, United Media, and Uclick.  I won’t find out what they think for a few months…  I sent out a bunch of emails the other day, so I got a bunch of new messages to animate, please keep calling!

Animation Hotline is a series of relatively often animations where I use messages left on my voicemail for content. When you get a chance please leave me a message, and honestly it’s best if you leave more than one because sometimes what you think is the perfect message might simply be impossible for me to animate in one day. This project is only as good as the messages that you leave me, so if you feel so inspired, call!
