After six years in the making and then screened at a number of international film festivals as well as getting selected to be part of the 2006 Academy Award Nominated Shorts theatrical tour, Australian animator Chris Jones' has uploaded a low-res version of his entirely self-funded and self-produced CG short The Passenger on Youtube. To pull off every single aspect of the production, from scoring the music to designing the DVD cover at a high quality on his own is truly astounding.
Storm clouds gather as a timid bookworm braves his daily walk to the bus stop. When he discovers what awaits him on board, he realizes he'd have been better off outside in the storm.The DVD with special features including trailers, alternate soundtrack and behind-the-scenes footage is available for pre-order at the official site. You'll find the full 7-minute short embedded below.
