The Passenger
I was doing a bit of work for Momentum Animation Studios in melbourne a number of years ago, and a bloke (Chris Jones) came in to show Dylan and Rachel (the owners of momentum) a short film he was working on called The Passenger. He loaded it up, and completely blew me away. He had been working on a 6 minute short film for the previous 4 years...and by working, I mean REALLY WORKING on his film. Crazy hours, 7 days a week, for years. When I saw it then, he was just starting the score. Well... I was inspired. He had done everything to the most incredible standard... and he was still a long way from being finished. 3 years later I saw him present it at an animation screening at ACMI (Australian Centre of the Moving Image) in Melbourne... This time fully finished.
Given that it was completed entirely by one person.... it is the most incredible piece of work in animation I have ever seen. At the moment there are only snippets on his website... but it does give you a taste of the level of quality involved. If you ever get the chance to see it... SEE IT!!!
Anyway, I keep plodding along, and continue to be inspired by this guys acheivements.

Hey Shaun, I'm trying to get in contact with you but it seems I lost your email, and I can't find it anywhere on your site! :) Could you email me? raf@anzovin.com
And Passenger looks amazing! It's something that faces many of us, I think: we get into this because we want to be filmmakers, but then life catches up with us, and if you animate all day do you really want to go home and do it again? It's insperational to see someone who's really sticking it out and putting in those gueling hours.
