Before deserting your grey, battery-hen cubicle for the promise of another hazy weekend, I'd like to show you something genuinely mesmerising and beautiful. It's a short film called Loom, and it's the latest work from a German creative firm known as Polynoid. From a cursory glance around their website, they seem to specialise in high-end CG animation for advertising, however this particular film is a purely creative effort, presumably to draw attention to their talents.
Directed by Jan Bitzer, Ilija Brunck and Csaba Letay, this five minute short took a staggering entire year to complete. To put that into perspective, many bloated FX blockbusters complete a full feature's worth of CG in well under that time, resulting in the subpar "spectacles" that so often sully the screens at the local multiplex. Conversely, the love and attention to detail in Loom is evident in every frame of it's scant running time.
Enjoy, and have a good weekend.
I'm a little biased because I think insects are fascinating to look at, but there's no denying the beauty of this short piece. Definitely a great showcase for Polynoid's talents.
ReplyDeleteI'm also an insect freak, so I'm pretty biased too I guess.
