Red Rabbit

A spellbinding silent tale, crafted by Egmont Mayer using Softimage XSI.



 

Oh my god. . . I lost my shit when that raccoon appeared! Great little film!



 

This works on so many levels, wonderful.



 

@Ricky - I found myself wondering the same thing, perhaps in part motivated by the deliberately "low-fi" animation style Mayer used here. There would certainly be some challenges, but I think iClone and/or perhaps some combination of platforms might be able to a least get in the neighborhood. Or maybe Blender's real-time components would be better suited.



 

Lovely film. The style is such a great combination of whimsy and weird. Sound effects and music are remarkable. Thanks for posting about this, Phil.

It occurred to me while watching: could you make a film like this using machinima techniques? Would it look as good? I wonder if you'd have to sacrifice anything to shoot it in a real-time environment?



 

umm. so i just watched for the "love of sprog" and i'm now second guessing my above comment. i have no idea about anything anymore :).

Very nicely done!



 

Softimage XSI? Damn, that is good.



 

@ Phil and Ricky -- funny. I thought the same thing too! but... I don't think it's possible right now -- something in the fluidity of the movement -- and I'm not sure if we should even be striving for that with what we've got. Might be like trying to make skirt steak with cake mix.

Any way, this was lovely.
