Ged Haney

Short animation made in the Lockdown 2020 by Ged Haney. Selected for the Ottawa short animation film fest 2021.

An itinerant drummer boy is visited in his sleep by a beautiful princess. She requests his help in escaping from an evil witch who has entrapped her on the glass mountain. He sets out to find the mountain and is helped on his way by a rather pathetic old giant and a magic butterfly who lends him a pair of wings. Finally, he arrives at his destination and the witch sets him to work on three impossible tasks... The Drummer was one of the winning entries in 'The Magic Mirror' competition to find new animators for children's stories. The main condition was that the stories had to be adapted from existing fairy or folk tales. The series was sponsored by Kelloggs and the series producer was Anne Wood of Ragdoll Productions. Shown on ITV, world wide TV, video and at international animation festivals.

A pair of Siamese Twins live and work as part of a travelling fair. One dreams of being a rock and roll star, while the other dreams of scoring the winning goal for England in the 1966 World Cup final.

An animated theatre of dismembered people, beasts and ghosts, dance, tumble, make love and tear themselves apart, a nightmarish subconscious world, in black and white.

Using powerful imagery, black humour, and a liberal helping of appalling bad taste, the directors set out to draw people's attention to the state of British beaches.

In this disconnected world there is a thin line between failure and success.

"Far Out Man is a green, leopard-spotted, cheeky chappie who lives on Planet MTV, slightly to the left of the other side of the universe. These are three stings I wrote, animated, and directed for MTV in the mid-nineties."
