Alma - Breathtaking CG animation

[Tim Bradstreet 0]

Apologies if someone has already reported on this as it seems this has been floating around the web for over 6 months.

Have any of you seen Alma?

It's by some current or X Pixar guys and it's creepy fucking cool awesome.

Written and Directed by Rodrigo Blaas. Man these fuckers are talented.

It's just a 5 minute short but WOW. I recommend watching it in full screen.

 

Check it out and let me know what you think - > http://www.vimeo.com/4749536

I saw that recently and it really is creepy as hell. Here's another cool CG short called The Passenger, which is all the more impressive as it was created entirely by one guy:

Both are fun to watch because of how well done they are visually.

I knew what was going to happen in Alma, though, about halfway through. The end of The Passenger was a surprise to me.

As pretty as the story of Alma is, it's not really original.

Ha! I wasn't really concentrating too much on the story of either but I did think the eye candy was delicious on both counts.

It's amazing the things you can do in your basement with a little imagination, a fistful of talent and some sweet-ass 3D modeling and animation software.

And like a year of your life for 5 minutes of payoff. Welcome to the 21st Century.
