  • Cassidy Curtis 5 months ago
    I saw this for the first time at Animasyros, and absolutely loved it. The style of movement reminded me of the very early computer animated film, Peter Foldes' "Hunger". Was that an influence of yours, or just a coincidence?
  • Moth plus 5 months ago
    Hello Cassidy! Thank you very much for your kind words. I wasn't aware of that film, i just saw a clip of it in youtube. Looks intriguing, i should have a full watch of it soon!
