Short Computer Animations

[BeeZee]

For my 3D animation class, I need to bring in an example of a brief (around 5-10 minute) computer animation that is, in some way, awesome. It could be something from a movie, TV, a video game, or pretty much anywhere, but it has to be computer animated and preferably frigging sweet.

Off the top of my head, I can't really think of anything I want to use, so I was hoping people here might have some cool ideas to post.

Re: Short Computer Animations

I've done quite a bit of 3D animation!

Check my threads in Imaginari. In particular "Ummmm...." and "Demons!"

If it needs to be professional, ...

Tough.

Can't help with that.

Sorry.

You should be able to find it at any media outlet. Combines live footage of scenery with GC modled creatures in a totaly belivable way. It's almost perfict at creating the illusion that the filmmakers actualy filmed these animals.

Plus it's super interesting and entertaining too.

Re: Short Computer Animations

You could go with Valk's suggestion, but chances are that everyone in an animation class will already be familiar with Advent Children!

There's plenty of excellent examples of modeling, rigging/animating, character design, storytelling, overall technical achievement, etc., available online:

Blur Studio

-Rockfish
-In the Rough
-Gopher Broke

Might be too short, but is it certainly awesome:

On second though, you can't go wrong the A Gentleman's Duel. 7 minute comedy short about two Victorian era men vying for the attention of a young lady, by fighting with giant steam powered mechs.

edit: I just noticed Ryu linked to blur without linking to this. Blasphemy.

Re: Short Computer Animations

I can point you to several free fractal generators that could have you doing fractal animation in minutes!

Then you can bring in your own cgi stuff!!

Here's an example:

I have quite a few fractal animations there. Just click the avatar or do a search for Rodak, Fractal, or something.

Several of those, or one long one, could be a unique submission.

Re: Short Computer Animations

Thanks everyone. I'm presenting Gopher Broke tomorrow. A Gentleman's Duel might've won out, but some dude already presented that a couple weeks back.
