A surreal and sad 2D animated short film, made over the course of a few years: animation is hard work! This experimental film was created in Toon Boom Harmony and After Effects. Let me know what you think in the comments.

![Its All Wrong [Short Film]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iCGgXCJHFw0/mqdefault.jpg "Its All Wrong [Short Film]
Set in a dark basement, three creatures wait for an unknown person to arrive, allowing them to open a mysterious cupboard that’s making a strange and ever-increasing sound. Waiting might not be as simple as it appears though; impatience, bickering and visits from others might just get the better of them. A surreal horror comedy from Old Man Chimes Films.

This photo cut out animation is a satire of peoples behaviour on social media. Silly and with a strong Northern sense of humour, you follow a man being harassed to give out a like to a man who has not done anything. A daft parody of the like culture.
