Simon's Cat in 'Cat & Mouse'

This just made me laugh.  I don't even own a cat anymore, but I liked the simplicity of this animation.  Usually, I scoff at all things that involve house cats these days, but this brought back the Garfield concept a smidge for me. Nice sound effects too.  It really sounded like a keyboard and mouse and the thmpfh when he puts down the cat at 50 seconds in is awesome.

Bumble-Bee, Two Flies, Grasshopper and a Yellow-Jacket all with my iPhone 4

I was really impressed with how nicely this came out.  It was a surprise really.  I rarely think of shooting with this camera, but the quality is excellent.  Converted it with MPEG Streamclip and while I had a few passes at making the file under 500 mgs, I finally came up with something that works.  Like the color and motion eventhough there is a tiny bit of stuttering with the H264 compressing.  Tried posting Apple Pro-Res 422 files, but Vimeo kept on rejecting the upload. Check it out for a taste of the summer gardens of New England.
