The Bear Hunt

2005 / Flash, After Effects

Back Story

This was my attempt at a kind of bizarre mission statement as I emerged into adulthood. I wanted to make something that expressed the disdain I had for a pursuit of corporate greed and power. I remember working really fast and obsessively, not second-guessing much and just going for it.

I was also pretty misanthropic and depressed at this stage of my life. Part of me was definitely worried I was gonna end up like the old guy in this, lost and alone chasing some strange life pursuit.

DVDs

I burned DVDs and handmade 10 covers which went out to a few folks, including protman (still going strong!) whose music I used throughout the short. Anybody out there still have one of these?
