Hard Times (not literally)

I thought i'd already posted this but clearly i didn't.
A while back, i was part of a two man team creating a short animation entitled 'Hard Times'
It was for a competition that unfortuantly we did not win, however it was a fun week long project that was very enjoyable.

Hard Times is a stop motion project, using a cut out animated puppet and a stop motion puppet in a basic stop motion set painted to look like a cartoon.

The very short animation is about a homeless man (cut out puppet) and his dog (stop motion armatured puppet)
The homeless man is trying to earn a bit of money through playing his music.

Here are some production pictures:

And here is the final film:
