synopsis
Max Punchface loves to punch and kick anything that moves, and many things that don’t.

However the portal disappears leaving Max trapped in this cute alien land with only some friendly sheep for company/punch practice.
Production notes
Made with the co-operation of Colaiste Dhulaigh College of Further Education in Dublin, Ireland. The short was created in Adobe Photoshop, Animate and AfterFX. It was designed specially to have a retro 1990s beat-em-up video game aesthetic in both the design, art direction and compositing style. Music and sound were provided by Sean Cooley and Aidan, for some reason, did everything else by himself.
