THE THIEF - I tried to create a dystopian city fueled by greed and fear. The city is controlled by a neurotic Giant Dollar Bill and his mosquito slaves.

The main character gets turned into a little dollar bill after trying to escape the grip of the Giant Dollar Bill. At the end, a bird outside the polluted city is building a nest for her offspring, but she isn't taking more from nature than is necessary to survive happily.

This is the first animation I made to incorporate backgrounds. I did flipbook animations before using a computer to composite scenes.

LYRICS:

It's an invisible force
it's a magnetic push
There's no time to react
it's automatic
kept under the ice
so don't lie
I can read your eyes

You're a threat to me
i'm your enemy
a starved parasite
sucking out your life
I was born a thief
A wrecking ball
swinging out of control
I'm a nervous disaster
kept under the ice

So don't lie, I can read your eyes

And I scatter about
on all fours
to the top of the ceiling
where my babies are born
Fed on religion
and politicians
so my babes can grow up
to be just like me
kept under the ice

So don't lie, I can read your eyes
