The story is of a Burglar breaking into a museum in order to steal a vase. Unfortunately he encounters another who is by chance robbing the same place. A fight breaks out between them that is only stopped by the introduction of the security guard who chases them away.
The credits then show both Burglars buying flowers for their vases when the guard comes across them. However he simply buys some flowers and leaves.

This animation was made for my final module in Animation. I used Maya for the majority of it and combustion for a few effects.

"Good"

Its a nice storyline but I don't like the animation style and somehow the movements seemed kinda of slow and shoppy, like the characters and objects were being forced to do them.

Author's Response:

I agree with a couple of things; when the Ninja catches the vase in slow mo - it needs more weight. It sort of just pops into his hands. Also I really don't like the second double take the burglar does when the ninja tosses him the Vase.
Good observation though, thanks!

"Breath-taking"

date: June 11, 2009

Simply stunning animation; superbly serene visuals beautifully mixed with a charming and loveable story. I was eating my dinner whilst watching and most of it ended up on the floor! Please please make another, if you don't I will honestly and truly track you down, come to your house and beg you in person. Look out for the mixed raced, curly haired boy. But seriously; Undoubtedly one of the best flash pieces I have ever seen. Thank you.

"This doesn´t seem like flash, what is the program?"

date: June 11, 2009

The flaw is that it only had the music. It was amazing how the ninja burglar escaped :P Couldn´t the normal burglar take another thing? I mean, after the ninja gone out.

Im not rating this a 9 for the plot.
