Full Moon Safari

Came across this on the first onedotzero dvd Anna very helpfully put me onto, it's a short flash animation directed by Ben Hibon, the creative director of unit9. This won the best flash animation award at the OFFF festival in 2002. It's really stylised, all made in red, black and white. The story is pretty inconsequntial, but the execution is extremely slick, I didn't realise you could animate things so smoothly in flash, and I don't know how the 3d perspective effect was created on the road and street lights at the beginning. It doesn't really seem to say anything, seems more like a vehicle to show off how well and stylishly Hibon can animate. But to be fair, he can. And I like it.
