Hey guys, you can see my latest animation here:

(requires quicktime)

I am looking for a job (paid) now if anyone wants to give me one :)

Haha, that was brilliant. They really need a shadow though.

Very funny. I recognised the Capitol shopping centre. I bet you got lots of strange looks filming there.

As Muzzer said, some shadows or reflections would really add it to.

funny - you need some reflections

Don't have Quicktime. You have it in a proper format?

funny, especially when the big key runs out of breath.

Heh, I love this.

However, it was very sad that baby key had to die - I did feel slightly distraught.

I don't get the ending though - what's with the tall key running for the padlock display?

Enjoyed that! I'd have gone for the padlocks as well :P

If I may...

I think it might have looked more urgent if you made the keys run a bit faster (quicker cyclic leg movement overall)

Why did you leave out shadows? The tracking looked spot on, and they mostly run on flat surfaces, so it would have been relatively easy to render & composite some shadows. (was it a time constraint?)

Great work, can't wait to see the next one!

Yes, it was mainly due to tme. I will patch it up in the future. As you said, its only a few ground planes and a tick box in the render settings.

Who wants to explain the birds and the bees to puki?

Nice work, well integrated with the music - what did you use for matchmoving?

Nice but you really should add shadows.
