TEASER || The files from my cabinet

Qstage: The files from my cabinet
Original Creative Writing:
'The files from my cabinet'
TEASER

Here is my first ever animation; it's riddled with mistakes I'll have to fix (I was in such a hurry to save it and make it available on a medium apart from the computer it was created on) and I will fix them, but I just enjoy looking at it in a context where it's out there - for other people to have a look at as well.

I hope you find it a fun 30 odd seconds and I certainly hope you will get to see the rest of it as it all unfolds over the next while.


The files from my cabinet TEASER
is the opening credits of Nicholby Hardup (Private Detective) and his Hardup Crack Team's adventures. A 20 part season of mad and surreal animations based on the radio series with special guests including Steve Bisley, Kate Fitzpatrick, Steve O, Holly Hunter, Basil Brush, Harvey Peakar and Ian McKellen.

It started as a radio series a few years ago, in the mid-2000's. I produced it based on some original concepts and just had a bit of fun with it - The show would air on 2SER FM on a Friday morning during the Breakfast program (hosted by Daz & Antony. It was all bit of fun. Nicholby would do a phone spot for a few months, informing people of what was on for free around town; and then it just seemed like a fun thing to put him into a sort of silly radio serial based more or less on those old mystery 1950's Private Dick type things - I compiled a special as well The Hardup Crack Team with spots from Bob Downe and Prunella Scales among others.


So anyway when I needed to create my first animation for an assessment task at school this last semester, I figured I'd bring the radio material to life.



Give it a second life. After all it's just sitting there doing nothing. It wouldn't be possible to complete the whole series in the time allocated for the assessment, so I created what would potentially be the opening credits. A bit of foolishness, silly and surreal in its own way. Something to make me laugh, which is what The Hardup Crack Team was all about. A laugh.

Here is the link to check out the whole 37 seconds. Hope you enjoy.
