Harold and Burns (2007) - 13 minutes

Harold and Burns is my Wesleyan Universtiy senior thesis. Based loosely on a children's book I wrote in high school, this short visual effects comedy tells the story of a very unusual rabbit. When Harold is asked to babysit his aunt Gwen and uncle Garth’s pampered pet things quickly get out of hand, and soon he’s dealing with one “big bunny” problem.
