Nice and Mysterious...
Such raw dirty animation worked well for the piece and visually it was very enjoyable to watch. The soundtrack also worked quite well. Being Irish, the stereotypes were still visible but it didn't bug me that much in this. The idea of having it shown through mist was simply genius, and such an exciting incentive whilst animating it! At the moment I'm animating something quite similar for an Irish comedian called Jon Kenny. Before he jumps on stage a small animation of him will play on an overhead projector signalling his arrival.
Anyway, great stuff, it looks wonderful.
