There's a lot of ninja talk goin' on, so I thought I'd contribute this to the discussion. This is a short film that an LMU graduate from a few years before me is working on in his spare time:
The animator's name is Peter Brandt. You should all go check out his youtube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/pdbrandt
I think his work is pretty inspiring. Not only is his animation really well done, but his action sequences are meticulously detailed, and well conceived. From what I can tell he gets good ideas and then elaborates on them to such a degree that his work brings to mind the mantra of John Hammond from Jurassic Park, "We spare no expense!"
Peter Brandt spares no expense.
This is way too dope. I want to see more, where can I find more.

ReplyDeleteHoly cow! It's so fluid. D8 What's he doing these days professionally?
ReplyDeleteGod his work is so inspiring. Is he working professionally? Last I heard (this info is not really current) was that he was living at home up north and just chillin, doing animation on his own time. I hope that's no longer the case!
ReplyDeletewow that was awesome. really fluid, well thought out animation
ReplyDeletei'm not sure how he earns his keep financially, but i'm totally fine with him doing his own thing outside the studio production world. i feel like an artist like him would just get lost in the multitudes of really competent lead animators working in studios and he might not ever get to keep developing his own projects. i dunno... maybe i shouldn't doubt him in that regard... but yeah, I love seeing him do his own awesome projects. all of you should subscribe to his youtube and share his videos with everyone you know. maybe we can get him to blow up on the web haha.
ReplyDeletebut seriously. do it.
most impressive
ReplyDeleteI hope this is guy working or animating professionally, he's pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brian, as personal art work (and also freelance stuff) is one of those unrestricted pieces of work that let you spread your wings and draw, animate, paint, etc. But, having production chops really forces you to rely on your meta skills and talent to get the job done well. If you put in a lot in a project, you're able to learn from your good work and also make it easier for the clean up crew from being so meticulous. >.>
