Animated Short: Coyote & Eagle Steal the Sun and the Moon

Based on the Zuni legend, Coyote and Eagle's world is overtaken by darkness. They decide bringing light to the world might put things right, but what price comes from taking something that is not yours?

This was an animated short created for Production Team class at the Art Institute of Colorado, March 2011. This was a huge collaborative effort and my contribution was only a part of a larger project- please support all the wonderful efforts of my fellow students and friends by visiting their work.

@CanineHybrid really glad u uploaded this to a channel with so many views. mine just doesnt house enough ppl to get it reconized this was a really fun project i had a lot of fun doing the back grounds and compositing it all together 2D and 3D.... it really is the color correction method i used that really merged the 2 elements it wouldnt have worked so well if the lighting wasnt done right... lol took us forever to get the background lighting right but it paid off.
