Check out this excellent animated robot fight scene set in the year 2045. Vincent Chai produced this for his final project at the University Of Hertfordshire. It doesn't end like you think it will. Link -via Digg
too bad the settings and surroundings look a lot better than the actual movement in the animations. some things are a tad off, stiff or not as fluent as they could be. no way i could do it better, but hey.... :)
somewhere in imaginationland is a bomb countdown clock maker that is going out of business for making clocks that went too fas... and what was with that apple bottom song at the bottom??? mmmmm sexy robots...
the music is lame.the animation is not subtle enough. especailly when they seem like something you have seen in other cg movies, which means that this is a water down, poor man version of some other big budget cg films. concept is full of cliche. rendering technique is not bad. congrats to those big animation houses for having one more obedient member for doing all the technical stuff. we can't wait to see the next 20 cg movies that look just like the last 20 of them with different characters and "uniquely" different stories. oh don't forget to throw some kung fu fighting, transforming robot, and asian cityscape into it.
I thought the animation was pretty amazing. Lots of detail and executed very well. The kick to the robotic nuts was a bit funny, but I'm sure funnier to the people who made this... All in all though, it was very well done.
i graduated from an art school full of commercial artists and i can assure you that technicality is not everything, unless you only care about how polish the final result looks like. this clip is basically soulless( lack of genuine quality) with tons of things that we have seen so many times.
i definitely don't want to see neatorama becomes another cheesy cg forum.
yes it does...
And so what if it wasn't a little ridiculously cheesy in terms of "plot" - it was just a student piece, and a darn nice one at that.
Please bear in mind this guy was at University, NOT Pixar, money/time/experience are difficult to come by at Uni.
I for one think this is amazing considering its a Uni Project.
(PS I went to this University myself, it has a great creative arts dept)
