It is no secret that I am a humungous fan of the animated short Paperman, which I first saw at during Disney Animation’s screening at SIGGRAPH 2012. In my opinion, the perfect blend of 2D and 3D with a unique style and a touching story. Take 5 minutes out of your day and relive the magic that can only be captured by Disney.

Something about this 3D image is incredibly powerful.
”This picture titled ‘Memory’ is the first work I wanna share with you. It happens in a hospital and is about a girl who loses her lover and recalls days spent with him. ”

Painterly cartoon animation style.
Beautiful series of space particle sculptures rendered in 3D! The attention to subtle form and light is magical. Here’s a look at just how complicated the last shot was to composite - props to the creator:
Titanic + George Lucas + Michael Bay + JJ Abrahms + Super 3D = LOL Brilliant.
“PLAYBLAST is a 3D animation composited with live-action that takes place inside the world of Autodesk’s Maya. A character advances throughout the Maya software, destroying elements of the interface.” Cool concept!
An amazing reimagining of the critically acclaimed short Nuit Blanche. Equally amazing is watching the Making Of for this compositing piece. Literally everything you see is captured on a green screen and post-processed. It is incredible the meticulous attention to detail that studio Digital Domain used to develop this commercial for Sony. The marriage between audio and cinematic mastery to a simple human emotion: this kinetic, almost irresistible, urge to get closer to the things we love.

Music + Animation = Genius.
Very cool art style. A lot of 2D animation techniques from classic cartoons can be seen in this piece.
Description: Very nice use of clean, Ice Age meets Dr. Seuss -like art style. Good use of silhouettes and layout of shots. Don’t be greedy now.

Description: Such a motivational final project piece done by a student at the Ringling College of Art and Design. A lot of respect goes out to the artist behind this production for the utilization of a unique hand drawn art style combined with 3D art assets in a story that was composed and composited perfectly. The almost ironic uplifting background music fits perfectly with the music and adds to the emotional element of the piece.
Special Note: The bar has been set high in the world of animation and visual effects. I have lots to learn in order to show the world what I am truly capable of. This is the last post for my summer Concept Design class at Drexel University taught by the excellent Professor Troy Finamore. However, I will be posting back on here every once and a while to keep my creative journal alive and kicking. This is no happy ending, rather this is a project that will last as long as I am young and continue to be in the pursuit of creative inspiration. My grandfather once said, “You only become old the moment you stop learning.” This is a journey and this is just the beginning.
