Interplanetary Ferry

Short animated film “The Interplanetary Ferry”

Some time in the future, the ferry of Amsterdam serves as an interplanetary ferry, going back and forth from earth to other planets. The animation serves as a funny instruction video on how to board the vessel and features two characters explaining the rules, the astronaut and the alien. The astronaut always follow the rules and never gets into trouble. The alien always does the complete opposite, and thus gets hurt or left behind. "The Interplanetary Ferry" animation serves as a pilot or a proof-of-concept for an animated series. Each episode would focus on a different rule; about lining up before getting on board; about using special cups for drinks (otherwise they would float around in space); about how to make sure you don’t accidentally drift off into space, etc.
