Proto Ninja - second comes right after first

I entered the sixty40 Proto Ninja animation competition a while back, and the other day found out that I came in second place (woot!). Apparently, there were over 21 entries (ie: 22 entries), so it may not be the most well known animation comp - but it was broadcasted at the Sydney International Animation Festival, so I guess that's something.

The idea was to do a 40-60 sec animation using the theme "underdog" (using the freaking annoying quirky music they gave you). This was good for my short attention span.

Anyways - here's my one minute long, fantastic, premium slice of animation brilliance (I used my rabbit). You can watch at the other top 10 here.

I was actually quite pleased with how fast I managed to animate this (it took just one weekend), and was a good trial for testing my rabbit's animation rig. Not so pleased with the sound, seeing as I have hardly any idea about sound editing. - Probably needed a Wilhelm scream.
