CGI Animated Short Film HD 'Roommate Wanted - Dead or Alive ' by Monkey Tennis Animation | CGMeetup

Synopsis: When a struggling medical student, Adam, places an advert online for a “Roommate Wanted; Dead or Alive” in a desperate attempt to save money, he gets way more than he bargained for when the post is taken a little too literally by the only applicant, Zack. This odd couple has to find a way to overcome their obvious problems and accept each other’s awkward mannerisms to be able to share their living space. But unfortunately this proves difficult for Adam, because his new roommate happens to be… a zombie!

About: “Roommate Wanted – Dead or Alive” is an original short film produced at The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark. Due for release in early 2015, the graduation film was written & directed by Lærke Elisabeth Kromann, and co-written & co-directed by David C Crisp, along with a very talented team of artists and animators.

Roommate Wanted – Dead or Alive is a refreshing and modern reflection on the ‘odd couple’ situational comedies made popular by Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau. With the addition of a zombie, the humour in the film also takes great inspiration from classic, awkward British comedy projects such as Fawlty Towers, Mr Bean and The Office.

You can watch Adam & Zack’s roommate adventure together from January 26th 2015, by clicking the link above.

Am I wrong but It feels like stop motion though. Nice rendering and use of lighting too.
