This fascinating 3D animated short was created in about 10 months by a group of Supinfocom students: Romain Jouandeau, Adrien Chartie, Gilles Mazieres and Fabien Thareau. Truly spectacular craftsmanship on the visuals, great music. The sound lacks a level of detail found in the picture in some places, and the piece left me wanting a bit more story-wise, but it's absolutely worth watching just for the visual tech and style.

As an opening sequence for a full length film, this would be outstanding. I'd not like to wait 10 months for every new 10 minute segment though.
Whoa. This is awesome. As an opening sequence, this would be a very intriging start. Awesome animation, and the visuals kicked serious gluteus maximus.
Holy Crap, you've got to be joking. That is bloody fantastic. So so awesome. Thanks a lot for showing!
