The animation was split into two parts, a material-based stop motion animation, slightly more surreal and experimental, which covered the 'real' segments of the story, and a piece on pixilation for the dream-sequence in the plot.
I was responsible for making the octopus and some of the set. As the animation was about toby the rubix cube's money problems I thought a chain smoking octopus in the background whilst the main character scrounges for money would be a great way to hint at societies addiction to material things. That is my explanation for the octopus and I am sticking with it.
One of the influences for the making of the octopus was from the characters in futurama, zoidberg in perticular who is like a human form of a crab and an octopus and squidward from spongebob
.
here are some of the light tests from the second group who were responsible for the pixilation part of the animation.
