MonsterQuest Season 4 Creature FX Reel

Remember all of those MonsterQuest videos I posted a while back? Well now it's all in one tidy package. This is basically everything I've already posted with a few more shots from the show, but condensed into a short edit.

Here's a quick recap of this project:

At Pixel Farm, we worked on History Channel's MonsterQuest Season 4, creating CG elements for 9 episodes over a course of 5 months, starting back in October 2009. It was around 30 seconds -- 1 minute of animation per episode, depending on the content of the show.

Enjoy!
