Massive Swerve

The Vancouver based Robert Valley recently uploaded his excellent animated piece from 2002, for the first time ever in HD which he humorously dubbed as a 'classic that won no awards and was accepted to no animation festivals world wide.' And its still a mystery to me why this awesome short got snubbed the way it did. Its a fantastically moody piece based off his paperback graphic novel by the same name, chronicling a night of partying and reckless abandon in his signature style.

His more recent project, Pear Cider and Cigarettes is currently in development and as of one month ago, he posted a video of himself creating some initial hand drawn animations. Check out the animatic video after the break!
