The Cat Came Back


This is a mad animation from the created by Cordell Barker, 1988. You can probably guess what this is about basically a devoted loner is constantly pestered by the same yelllow cat over and over again. Every time he tries to get ride of it, he always comes out worse, sort of 'coyote and the road runner' story. It is extremely well animated and the sound affects are brilliant. It has inspired me to not only use appropriate sound effects but to experiment with the distance they you could hear them at. So playing around with muffling, volume, distortions, and also memorable noises that play a part in everyday life to be used for scene that represent similar actions or scenes (closing blinds for the moon coming up). This has won a Genie award, 1989 for best animated short film. 

Inspirational Animation!
