Inspiration 1.6/1.7

Another great short animation called The Dog Who Was a Cat Inside. Directed by Siri Melchior and created by Passion Pictures, The Dog Who Was a Cat Inside is the average tail (get it?....) of cat meets dog, inside one another meeting another cat/dog and the fun that happens along the way. The animation style is amazing. I think the best bit is the acceptance that After Effects is a "2.5D" software package. Essentially we see 2D animations in a 3D space and they work really well. Because I am using 2D layers but want them to work in 3D space, I can make the "look" of my project more stylised like this short film.

The narrative drives the piece and although seeming quite simple it has a nice great twist and quirk that leaves you feeling better for watching it, so what are you waiting for?


I took some time to delve in to Passion Pictures' recent work and they did the intro for The Beatles Rock Band game. I remember this seeing this a while back but it has totally slipped my mind until now. It's one great intro. It's even got a shot when the camera travels through the floor and down into The Cavern Club. I'd like to say they stole my idea to do that but I stole it from somewhere I guess.

Again the animation is amazing. The drawings are awesome. I LOVE IT! WATCH!
