iaian7 » blog John Einselen, 13.11.06On the lightwave forum I came across a short film shown in the Raindance festival of London. Fetch is one of a series of character sketches by one of the UK’s leading animation houses; Axis Animation. They seem to have a lot of fun with it, not to mention it’s done using Lightwave!
It’s all part of the language efforts by the BBC, helping teach kids some of the remaining celtic languages. While my efforts to learn any language are generally met with utter demise, it’s a nicely done site, and seems to be a cool way to learn.
Axis was also the studio to do CodeHunters, an 11 minute film used as part of the MTV Asia awards. CGSociety published an excellent article on the animation and design process. You can find higher res formats here, and believe me, it’s worth it. There’s a lot of nice touches to the style that have to be seen in detail to be appreciated!
