Zeev's Journey 3D animation

My Master's Thesis Animation, based on a Jewish folktale which I completed the Ohio State University, MFA in Computer Visualization with a focus on 3D animation, in Columbus, Ohio. Created using mostly Maya, Photoshop and Combustion. If you would like to see my portfolio and download a version of Zeev's Journey you can visit my website: www.todd-delman.com

Most of the music is by the Bat Ayin Band.

Very charming character design, story and overall story. Even the mis-sync voice work adds gives it an 80's charm, almost as if it was stop-motion... which it isn't, though.

My only wish for it though, was that it had better sync and that there was a better closure on the conclusion. Perhaps Zeev should've had a few more seconds to contemplate on what he's learnt and express the meaning (for the kids watching) instead of having to think about it once the credits have rolled??

thanks for the nice comments, the audio got off-track somehow after uploading to youtube.  my original audio was synched properly :) good feedback.
