The Blind Caterpillar – Final

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

This film was made in 5 weeks for my minor project at RMIT University AIM. The inspiration for it came from a poem by the the 13th century Sufi Mystic, Jalal al-Din Rumi.

Or here is the link to the YouTube version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_W69D6z3_A

I used the Samtiq which is a DIY-Cintiq that I made at the start of the year to do the animation and it proved to be a great tool.

For those interested in seeing a better quality version than the YouTube one, here is a quicktime (70mb):
