title sequence for low budget film

Two versions of the title for an indie feature film entitled "House of Jazz". I animated this in CG and rendered with Maya's built-in toon render. The film had a psychedelic horror theme and was directed by Jacques Boyreau. Unfortunately he changed the name of the movie after I finished these titles. And the project stalled in the editing phase.

"Valerie Yum" test

Just started uploading to Vimeo, here's a test for The Dandy Warhols "Valerie Yum" song which I did a month or so ago. The cat animation is a cycle that I roto-mated from footage I shot of our cat, Willa, and placed into a destruction environment from a "big movie" that I worked on. So it's cycle animation and recycled environment. Courtney Taylor-Taylor (their lead singer) liked it but I'm not sure that it will get any farther than this test -
