An animation based on Rose Turtle Ertler's song 'Before Dark', inspired by a recent trip to the Australian outback. Feral animals journey across an inhospitable landscape in search of their dreams... but are they really cut out for this place?

The animation was completed using a combination of Photoshop and After Effects CS4. I wrote, directed, animated and edited the clip during August - October 2009. To find out more about Rose Turtle Ertler, visit her Myspace page : http://www.myspace.com/roseturtleertler

Simon Daoud constructed and animated the wonderful snail, as well as the compositing and extra 3D work; I came up with the concept and the 2D animation.
