The Tumbleweed of Dave

A quite weird animation I created over three days while in the final throes of putting my 3rd year project website together while suffering from creative block. The song is from a jam by a friend’s band “Firestorm”, named after me after I likened listening to it as feeling total and utter de-creativity.

Ironically for an animation based around this and with a boring soundtrack, it grew a life of its own and became quite good towards the end – mainly when the desert fox turned up – and the second tumbleweed somehow gained a lot of meanings.

The song actually gets interesting about two minutes in, which I felt had to be left out of the animation to keep the subject meaning intact.

Watch the Tumbleweed of Dave below, obviously sound is required.
