The 11 Second Club is a website for aspiring and experienced animators, where they can participate in monthly competitions to create the best animated short based on a pre-selected 11 second snippet of dialogue (could be from a Movie, TV show or Video Game). The one main rule of the competition is that the artist cannot, in any way, edit the original dialogue track.
However, because I tend to be a slower artist I instead prefer to use this website as a method of practice for my personal development, meaning that, my animations have never and will never be submitted to the competitions. This allows me to add onto and edit the preexisting audio snippet (as I have done here).
In this particular short I wanted to build up some experience in animating human characters as well as move the story into a very different setting (when compared to the city in my last video ‘Play Dead’). I have also attempted to simulate three-dimensional depth by recreating the use of a multiplane camera (this was done by creating separate pieces in Adobe Photoshop that could then be manipulated in Adobe After Effects).

The dialogue comes from the 11 second club website and can be found under the February 2018 competition:

I obtained the following three songs from the FMA Free Music Archive, which can be found here:
