Man or Mouse

An author is working late into the night to finish his book but when he falls asleep his story begins to come to life around him. Made for the 'Body Language' short film project at the University for the Creative Arts, the main limitation was that we had to convey a narrative without using dialogue but apart from that we were given free reign.
The mouse in the film was hand drawn for every frame and then cut out so it could be placed in the room, it was very hard to get consistent movement and prevent unnecessary juddering but overall I think I did a good job especially considering I've never tried anything like this before.
I am also considering making an improved version of this film by performing colour correction on the images to try and equalise the colour balance in some shots and I will try to remove the visible 'helpers' I used (Masking tape and fishing line).
