Sam Gordon
Sam Gordon is currently a student who attends Southport College so that he can learn how to become a professional animator one day. His eventual hope is to go into business for himself so that he can maintain the full legal rights to all the ridiculous characters he’s been making over the years. His favourite creations are the Justice Trio.
The Grand Lamppost Heist
About my project
For this project, Sam Gordon has decided to go back to the roots of animation as a film medium and by extension, the golden age of Hollywood. He did this by making a short cartoon inspired by the likes of Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse and Otto Messmer’s Felix The Cat but with 3D animation. The short Sam made is a black and white cartoon animated in a video game called Dreams PS4.
The short is known as “The Grand Lamppost Heist” and features two brand new characters. An ant-dog creature named Ruff Bup and a notorious ring-tailed raccoon criminal named Rick P. Rison. The plot involves our hero Ruff Bup trying to get a good night’s sleep until our notorious villain Rick manages to steal a lamppost just outside Ruff Bup’s house and from there, wacky hijinks ensue.
