Short Film Completed

Hi all. My short “film” for my daughter’s preschool class is finally finished. I probably put about 60-70 hours into the thing (shooting, editing, modelling, texturing, rigging, lighting, animating, rendering, sound work, blah blah), and at this point I’m just glad that it’s out of my hair. They’re going to show it in her class this Friday.

File size is a bit big (8.9 MB), but if you’re feeling brave click away! Divx5 encoded, 360x240, 15 fps, just over 4 minutes long. The master is in DV format (720x480, 29.97 fps).

Note #1: this is NOT CG. It’s live action, with Blender used for four very important FX sequences.

Note #2: Yes, that is harkyman himself in the last scene.

Note #3: I’ll only keep the link active for two or three days, as my wife rightly doesn’t want videos of the kids floating around on the net forever. There are some icky people out there. If the link below is gone, pm me and I’ll see that you get it.

Watch it here.

Very sweet.

excellent composition and nice story… definitely worth seeing :slight_smile:

Very cute! I’m sure she was overjoyed with the final production. I wonder what her class will think… :slight_smile:
