“In The Fall of Gravity” Update.

September 19, 2008

Just an update to say the very awesome looking “In The Fall of Gravity” is having its premiere at the “NYIIFVF” New York film festival, on the 24th of September at 8.00 AM – you have to book in advance but if you are around the area I am sure it will be worth it. Looks like a really awesome and innovative project! Good luck to Ron Cole the creator, I hope it goes well. Check out my previous post for a little bit more infomation on the project.

My last post was about 2D and 3D animation, well here is a short film that combines the two to an enchanting degree. It’s a couple of years old now but still looks absolutely fantastic.

I watch a lot of short films on youtube and this one really blew me away. The story isn’t particularly fantastic but visually it is just beautiful with some charming character animation to boot. 3D elements have been frequently implemented in to 2D animation (see “The Iron Giant”, “Futurama” or even “Spirited Away”) but this takes it to a new level, embracing the combination rather than trying to hide it.

In the Fall of Gravity

Check out this tailer for a short film called “In the Fall of Gravity”.

This is being made by a guy called Ron Cole, who is basically reinventing stopmotion animation by implimenting cable control to his stop motion puppets. This gives the puppets a really unique look, with facial animation that is more expressive and realistic than anything seen in stopmotion before! Really impressive and inspiring stuff.
