   Very Pretty – Some of the animations could have done with some refinement – but I’m sure this kid will have a job at one animation studio or another in no time at all.

   It was OK in some areas but very basic in others. He could definitely get work as a modeller but the textures were all very basic and there was nothing special about the lighting. It succeeds on an accretion of detail and the modelling looks excellent. I also thought the story needed some work. The way he put the back-story in was very clunky – let me just take a minute while they are torturing me to bring you up to date – and the ending was both rushed and obvious. It is a great effort for a student, and it’s certainly way better than anything I’ve ever done outside of work, but it’s not quite brilliant.

      You understand he’s an unpaid 22 year old student right?

      If he’s doing this at 22, imagine what he’ll be doing when he’s 32. It’s amazing.

         Yes, I understand completely. I have taught 3D to many students 22 years old, and even younger, and I have seen stuff of this standard (although not of this length) produced in a few weeks. I had one student who had made a flawless 4 minute light sabre fight, frame by frame, in Photoshop 5 while he was still at high school. That was more impressive than this.

               I work in On Air Graphics, which means we do all the graphics for news, A Current Affair, Today and Mornings. It’s all very short turn-around stuff which suits my attention span perfectly.

      Exactly, why? Why would it be on Youtube where it has to suffer the indignity of advertising? Obviously these guys have a little ntegrity and are more concerned abou tpresenting their material in teh best possible way than getting the maximum number of hits.

    Pretty sweet film!

    Only one point of suspicion: if he’s 22 years old, how is he married?!
