Plankton invasion, the web series. First concept Trailer

Produced by Tinkertree
Created and directed by Joeri Christiaen (www.thuristar.com)
Music composed by Frederik Segers
Sound mixed by Temple of tune
In 2007, Joeri Christiaen came up with the concept of PLANKTON INVASION, and single-handed created six "webisodes", posted on the website planktoninvasion.com.

The series takes the serious subject of Climate Change through a different angle :

Three plankton specimen - two soldiers and a scientist - are sent ashore to start operation "Global warming". There are billions of them and they need more space, meaning more water. They are fighting for their species' supremacy, by all means possible -- minuscule means that is -- to fuel Global Warming, drown all land... and rule the world.

The concept of PLANKTON INVASION is now being adapted into a TV series produced by TeamTO TeamTO.com, Tinkertree Tinkertree.com and Vivi Film vivifilm.com, in coproduction with Canal+, with the participation of the CNC and the VAF. The TV series is directed by Joeri Christiaen.

It is a pipeline of several programs

Modeling, shading and rendering (Fprime) in Lightwave, the animation in Pmg's Messiahstudio and the displacement & UV maps in Zbrush.

[thomaschocotoff]

the joke at 02:11 is just like the beginning of the commercials on a channel from Belguim(the makers are from Belguim /me too)

named VT4. I very like the joke.

p.s.: my English is not soo good, srry

[Kymer]

OMG as I said before on CGtalk, these shorts are BRILLIANT. I love how only Belgian people can get the joke at 2:10 ;D

Just one question though; who does the offscreen-voice? It has to be a native English speaker, judging by his fluent accent.
