Red Rabbit

[auric]

Hey guys!

The animated short film that I have worked on over a period of one year (from August 2006) is finished.

You can download a QuickTime version of the full film (~300 MB in size) at substance.crona.de (http://substance.crona.de). Downloading with a speed of 1 Mbit/sec takes about 45 minutes.

The film's runtime is 8 minutes. The film tells its story without spoken language, so there is no dialogue in it. The end titles are in English.

If you have the latest version of the QuickTime player (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/), you can hit Ctrl+F to view the film in full-screen mode (recommended). :)

The software I used was Side Effects Houdini (http://www.sidefx.com/). The film was animated and rendered in Softimage XSI (http://www.softimage.com/).

Spoiler Alert: Select the following line of text in your browser to read it.
I've done the breaking wall, the collapsing wall and the collapsing ceiling (3 effects shots in total).

Enjoy the film. :)

I think you're mistaken on the speed. I'm getting between 400 and 500 kb a second, and it's only estimated to take about 11-16 minutes :)

It takes about 45 minutes at 1 Mbit/sec, not MB/sec. It seems you have a 3 to 4 Mbit/sec line. Very nice!

Thank you for downloading. I hope you enjoy the film. :)

I did. The rabbit was kind of sad though. I mean, I know the ending has a possible "resolution", but still. Sad bunny.

hehe... yes. I don't know what will happen next, either. I heard of no plans for a part II yet. ;)

Aw, c'mon. I can't be the only person to have downloaded it?

Tina has sent me an email. She can't post on the board at the moment (some technical problems). She said she liked it. :)

Yes, that's true... great work!

And thanks to Auric I also can post again for quite a while now... just haven't found the time to come back here again and do it... I'm so sorry for that.
