“The Passenger” by Chris Jones

Chris Jones has spent the last 8 years developing a short film called “The Passenger”, and has chronicled the entire event on his website from concept to completion.

Last century, when I started making The Passenger, all I wanted was a centerpiece for my showreel. I had been working in computer games for three and a half years, but my real ambition was to work in film. A visit to Siggraph in 1998 provided the motivation to start work on the project, and the bus commute to and from the convention supplied the theme. My objective was to create a quirky, moody, spooky, action packed overblown animation spectacular that might get me a nice job.
