The Future Stinks

The assignment was to study the style of Terry Gilliam, who was adept at making animations with a minimum of actual animating (note how he never bothers to animate anyone's feet). So I did virtual cutouts in AfterEffects, reducing color to bring the file sizes down, and made this. (1.5MB)
Now, unfortunately, the format is MP4 - so many players won't recognize it. You'll have to save to your desktop and see if any of your players can read it.
I could upload it into another format, but the compression artifacts and file size of the MP4 version are better than they were in any other format I tried.
I'm quite happy with the song. I had also been studying formulae for pop songs (both formally and informally) and came up with a tune that's quite catchy.
If you want to hear just the song, and MP3 is here (600KB)
