A lovesick man is saved from certain death by a divine light, but is there a hidden agenda behind the intervention?

Made with Blender 2.5's Freestyle renderer in around six months over free time. It would've been done sooner but I re-animated the whole thing after the story wasn't strong enough the first time round!

  • very nice style, the first time I've seen someone use the toon shader in a short film. But you should have taken more time with the lighting, if you go to my channel and look at my modeling reel then skip ahead to the bart simpson model, then you can reference this for anything else you want to do in this style.

  • @MattGraeme Cheers! Actually it's just flat shaded, with a bit of normal shading done in the compositor. I'm not actually a big fan of toon shading, I find that trying to make 3D look 2D often comes off as too steril and very unnatural. You've done a great job on Bart, though!

  • This is a fantastic short! The humor and the animation are spot-on! I'm jealous really - I can't even get a cape working, and you've got these beautiful dynamics going on with the hair and jacket. But I think my favorite thing is watching his eyes - you can really see his mind working through the eye movement.

  • @Datadog Thanks, that's really encouraging! I hope you're referring to Darkwing Duck when you mention a cape, I'm really looking forward to that!!

  • That is such an awesome idea for a film! Quite grim, but such a great piece of film-making. Oh, and I just noticed, isn't Suzie an adult version of the character in your last film?

  • @fentonfilms Hahah, you win James! Yes, that's her - I like to link the films together like that. All the cars in Mite had DNG as their numberplates, and there's a statue of the alien on the shelf in Taste Lab :p
