Hello, My name is Angie and I live and work in Los Angeles, creating animation for film and commercials for the past 15 years.

For anyone reading this who couldn't see that link James posted above...
Angus and Julia
This video equally cute, I love the style. It's hard to tell, but the Julia and Angus video looks like it was flash or AE...all composited in 2D - not CG. OMG is that enough acronyms there or what?
The tear in her eye killed me though.
I think Utah's video works better and has more depth with the added dimension of being in 3D (even though much of the tricks are like 2 1/2 D). I think the simplistic animation works well with the style of the characters too. He told me he only had a month to finish it, so it's a very ambitious project since the entire video was animated.
