Tombed

Tombed is a fun animated short created by Jeffry Schreuders and classmate Ellen van der Heiden as a graduation/thesis project at the Willem de Kooning Academy in the Netherlands. Featuring two protagonists who truly represent brains and brawn respectively, they set out to raid an Aztec pyramid in the hunt for priceless treasure.

One of the coolest aspects of the short comes in the form of the mixture of 2D animation composited onto physical sets of the tomb, which were also separately animated using stop motion techniques prior to all being comped together. Fun from start to finish.
