CEREAL - EPISODE ZERO

Hand drawn illustration, coloured, touched up in Photoshop, animated in After Effects (using DUIK) and edited in Premiere. Voices, Foley and Synths recorded in Logic.

This is the first instalment of what I intend to be a feature-length animation, presented in a serialised form. It’s called Cereal. The narrative will be episodic, more by necessity than anything - this allows me to break down the bulk of the work into manageable chunks. Much like the GCSE Maths Bitesize revision techniques of yore.

Ben can animate 1 section in 7 days. Each section runs at 2 minutes. How long will it take Ben to complete an average length movie?
The average length of a movie is now a portly 130 minutes, so taking away the 2 minutes Ben has already completed, 
128/2 = 64
7*64 = Ben can animate the film in 448 days

The first episode features 1970s Iggy Pop returning from tour to find his cupboards bare. Or are they?
Special thanks to Freya for voicing Snap.
