Or... a Ferrari?

lol. Practical aside, the animation was fabulous. I really enjoyed it.

The music suited it well, and reminded me of Roller Coaster Tycoon...

I wish I could "love" this film instead of just "liking" it. And by that, I mean vimeo's favorite feature.

What's so amazing about this short is that you've been so true to the medium. It's not just called claymation - it literally is clay in motion. :)

Wonderful work!
