In my animation I introduced the protagonist within the poster, and the person putting up the poster as the antagonist. I wanted to illustrate that, despite the obvious differences, the characters actually complement each other. The big burly villain and the quick rascally cat can co-exist in the same environment. I decided to overcome the limitations of Flash by using a mixture of fluid animation, powerful voiceless characters, and soaring music composed by my friend Josh Miller.
