Here is my entry, I hope you enjoy. It's about 3m20s, and I'm hoping the judges will permit my slight overage.

That was really fun and well done! Lots of nice work on the character shadows throughout.

Good job! I also liked the sound design, very well done. It looked a bit like a more cute cousin of the "Number 5 Is Alive" animation I did for the previous contest, with the combination of live action and animation. The "escape" from the paper was fun with the shadows, good eye for detail.
Did you combine video with animation in Moho or externally? Was the white edge on the silhouette characters on the kitchen table on purpose for contrast or was it an overlay problem?
I'm looking forward to more adventures!

Thanks to all for your kind comments. It's nice to receive encouragement, especially at this level, when we aren't getting paid!

I combined the video and animation in Moho. I joined separate movies and added music and credits in Sony Vegas 5.
On the sequence with the silhouettes, I rendered the characters from Moho, and exported it to a Quicktime file without the background video, using Millions of Colors+. In Vegas, I overlayed the transparent character layer over the original video footage. That may be what created the white edge. I actually liked the effect, so I didn't attempt to change it.
Your "5 Alive" animation was definitely my inspiration for combining characters with live action - you did a great job with that.

if you cut out the credits out and maybe a bit of the beginning you may be able to squeeze it into 3mins

Feels like cutting off an arm or a leg, doesn't it?
