Jack, a simple scarecrow, has been protecting the farmlands for as long as he can remember. Spending most of his time sleeping and daydreaming, he is shocked when his crow friend Tony has some big news. There might actually be someone like Jack far away and Tony guarantees it's worth the journey. Accompanied by the old rabbit Roy, the three set off to see if there really is more behind the horizon.

The voiceacting is by Andy Dennis (www.andydennis.co.uk) and Laura Post (www.laurapost.net)
The original music is by Stile (http://web.tiscali.it/st ileonline), Jared Hudson and Andres Ciambotti

NOTE: the quality button works, but you have to wait till the movie is loaded if you want to toggle it to high quality (press button 2 times). Make sure you have 2GB ram if you watch it at high quality. The quality of the drawings greatly improves though

Some background info:
I know it has been over 2 years since i have submitted anything new. What happened? Well 2 years ago i started this project with great motivation, but somewhere halfway, after 5 months, i completely lost all motivation to draw and animate. This could have been done in 7 months or so but instead i took a 1,5 year break. I really needed it, to get away from it all for a while, to regain inspiration and motivation. I mainly focused on my study and social life and even though i made very little that period, i think i learned alot about art and animation by just watching and reading stuff. I plan to make a few smaller movies before i start working on episode 2 of this thing. This series is meant to have 5 episodes, but i sincerely hope the others won't take me 2 years each also lol. Anyway, Take care

"This is gonna be a great series!"

I see a lot of potential in this. Jinas is the first flash series I've seen that makes me care about the fate of the characters. I mean I REALLY care about them.

What helps is the way this was presented. Great voice work by Andy and Laura and good writing. The colors in Jinas also had great earth tones (brownish colors), shows that a cartoon don't need all primary colors to look good. Remember flash artists: the best inspiration is in real life, not other peoples work, so take a walk outside when you have the time. Great pacing in the story, nothing seems to drag on for too long.

Comment to author: I kinda went through the same thing you're going through. I found that working on short, funny, and cheap (not on quality, I mean money) projects seem to do better for yourself as great inspiration outlets. When I say "funny", I do not mean crazy over the top gags that'll bust a gut, but do know that humor on any scale is always welcome in any medium.

"Really cool animation"

There should be more of this style on this site. I like the way that the rabbit reminds me of Captain Holly from Watership Down. Other than that, I love it.
