    Thanks for the comments and glad you like it! Almost everything was animated in Maya and composited in AE. It may seem like an odd choice to make such a flat animation using a 3D program but after some initial tests we knew Maya would be a great tool for the look we where after. I added a video showing the animation controls for the tentacles.

    glad to see the animation getting more interest! the animation was roughly a month and a half of work which included 2 animators and 1 compositor. (and evan of course). However we had to come back to it inbetween projects so it wasnt completed all in one go.

    I love the richly dense style and structure of this short, reminds me of the works of Shy the Sun vimeo.com/user671160. The nice pacing and score by Peter Bowhan makes me wish it would go on longer, hopefully you are developing more work like this. Well done.
