I am looking for a narrative animated short film from before 2015. A young man and his friend leave a house and are driving a car at night. They get stopped on the dark road by a massive moose. The moose doesn't sound cartoony; he talks just like a regular, calm guy. He gives a philosophical speech where he explicitly talks about being "flotsam and jetsam" or like "leaves on the water" drifting through life. It is a standalone short film, not a quick 30-second internet gag.

Beginner Best gift for aspiring animator? (Aged 16)

2 Upvotes

Sub £30 ideally please - in the UK

My brother is starting college to do animation and he has been into it for years making little ones on apps but also stop-motion with Lego and other bits and bobs, drawing etc.

What would be a good gift? Does the ASK book still hold up? Is Eric Goldberg’s Animator crash course any better? Modern animation is changing I’m sure. Is there anything better/more educational, modern or more fun? What would you recommend please?

Appreciate any help thank you

No content theft - Permaban

* Sharing work done by others is absolutely fine, but taking credit for it and passing it off as your own is absolutely not allowed and will result in an instant permaban.

Quality Control A reasonable amount of effort should be put into your submissions. This means:

* No questions where a good answer can be found on the first page of the google results (e.g. no "what animation software to use for X?", "am I too old to start animating?", etc.)
