The Tell-Tale Heart is a 1953 American animated short film directed by Ted Parmelee and narrated by James Mason. The screenplay by Bill Scott and Fred Grable is based on the 1843 short story of the same title by Edgar Allan Poe.
The plot focuses on a murderer whose increasing guilt leads him to believe he can hear his victim's heart still beating beneath the floorboards where he buried him. Seen through the eyes of the nameless narrator, the surrealistic images in the film help convey his descent into madness.
Paul Julian served as both designer and color artist for film, and Pat Matthews was the principal animator.
In May 1953, pre-production started on The Tell-Tale Heart, which originally was intended to be a 3-D film.[1] However, it is not known whether or not the film was animated in this fashion, and it was not released in 3D if it was. There is no reference to 3D in a technical trade review.[2] Furthermore, the leaders on original prints of the film do not indicate it ever was part of a pair of 3D prints, typical of all other 3D pictures.

I was commissioned to do this spot by the friendly team of London Agency The Corner, for the revamp of the mythical card game called Top trumps. The main target was to create a funny, epic and kid's friendly battle between the 2 main characters of the campaign, Toppy & Trumpy. Both humanizations of the top trumps package.This version is my reel cut with some design/color changes that we lose during the approval process but i still think makes the film stronger.

Some of my earliest in-camera Oxberry experiments shot at Francis Lee's Film Planning Associates in NYC with artist, cameraman Fred Armstrong (now of Animatus Studios in Rochester). These tests were shot on 16mm film and were created based on "The First Family Paper Doll and Cut-Out Book" © 1981, by Jim Fitzgerald and John Boswell with illustrations by Al Kilgore (artist of Rocky and Bullwinkle comics).
