Under my skin

A succinct Australian claymation which explores the demise of a doomed relationship between a beautiful French poodle, Fifi, and a somewhat dejected looking flea, who has been given his marching orders in a most diplomatic fashion. (Awards: St Kilda Film Festival, 2001; the Vancouver Effects and Animation Festival, 1999 and various other international festivals)
