The Street
Here is my entry for the just-completed M60, the Montréal 60-Second Film Festival. The festival, in its inaugural year, was a big hit, with tons of great films and far too many people being turned-away at the door.
My entry is really more of a tech demo than a film. It was done entirely with a flatbed scanner, an idea that quickly lost its luster as my cheap $100 scanner slowly imploded under the strain of about 400 scans in the space of a few days, getting ever slower and showing ever more lines and other artifacts of wear.

Wow Neale.
How long did this take? Neat technique. Cute.

Neato! Awesome movie Neale!
I suppose you could replicate the technique by building a box with a glass top and shoving a digital camera inside. Does the whirring of the motor help attract the cat? If so you’d need to replicate that too somehow, great cameo performance from the paws!

Hi Neale!
I really enjoyed your little movie, thanks for sharing it with us on your blog. I was not able to attend M60 but will have a chance to see all the movies through the DVD you guys made!
Nice job!

Hey Neale!
Absolutely fantastic work. You’re super talented with animation. Just remember all the hard work is worth it in in the end
I still read “Whimsy” when I can
It reminds me of all the amazing conversations we had of general interface design and design concepts in general. Keep up the writing and designing, as you have some admirers out here in the wild interwebs
