Entry Description

A claymation short film where a man runs into a cat stuck in a tree on his way to work.

Judge 1

Positives: Claymation objects and corresponding details like toothpaste foam work well and in concert with sound effects. Sound effects give a whimsical mood throughout the video esp. the car revving and reactions of bewilderment from protagonist.

Improvements: Editing was choppy. Unnecessary cuts are throughout - ex. no reason to cut to wider shot of car leaving frame after tighter action shot. Cuts to black after man tries to get cat out of tree are disconcerting and not sure why the cat blows up the scene at end. Some frames within the scene change luminance causing the claymation to look "stuttery"
