My friends have a song about a 500 foot tall robot from the victorian era called Jolly Top Hat. I thought it could do with a video, and because it was a bit awkward to build an actual 500 foot tall robot, I'd do an animation instead.

its a 9 meg WMV file
It's my first attempt at this sort of thing. Its about two minutes longs, using about 350 hand drawn pictures, strung together using Adobe Premier. I think the jerkiness enhances the Victorian era ethos of the concept.
Let me know what you think.
oh, the band are called The Plimptons, there are other songs to download from the website www.theplimptons.co.uk
The next animated video will be a stop-motion photography affair, with my sofa and laundry doing the singing.
............Cool!
