Band of Bunnies

Several months of work, a whole pile of setbacks, and some crazy funny times in the recording room. On the one hand I'm quite proud of bits of it... other bits not so much. This one had a lot of potential at any rate. At least we got ours finished to a half decent standard, some folks didn't make it!

As you can see in the credits, I (Robert Smith) was responsible for the overall direction, all the mechanical concept designs, the tank model, ALL the texturing besides the zepp itself, the voices (lol I know) all the lighting and set dressing and rendering except the air scenes, all the compositing and the basic story idea.

Albert Cox did all the sound work as well as all the air scenes including the zep interior. He modelled the plane design and the zeppelin inside and out as well as texturing the zep. A lot of detail was lost making it look old school - no doubt he'll put some turnarounds up at some stage.

Travis Orams was our animator but had to bail halfway through for various reasons, meaning that only a few of the shots are actually animated. He also took care of the storyboards, helped write the script, and designed the bunny characters. He also took care of most of the rigging.

James Bernard modelled and skinned the bunnies themselves as well as working on props. The skinning and modelling were a huge job so though it doesn't look like much he certainly pulled his weight.

Besides that, much love goes to the teachers and staff at Lifeway College ( http://www.lifeway.ac.nz ) for helping us through this.
