"Bigfoot" is a poem written by my friend D.M.Pillay. I took their comical yet pitiful poem about the current state of legend of Bigfoot, and turned it into a 2D animation with a strong emphasis on illustration and a DIY-look.

PROCESS
Bigfoot is getting old.
He’s going bald, and he needs a small blue pill to get it up. His back hurts. It creaks and it croaks. His knees always hurt and there’s a sharp tension in his lower back when ever he bends over. He needs about an hour to go to the bathroom so he always keeps a stack of magazines in there to read. And as he sits there, he thinks to himself;
Where has all the time gone?
