The Tortured and the Bound (Weird Fishes/Arpeggi)    28 April 2008

very unconventional animation, nice catering to the song, i dig it :)

Dig the jellyfish and squid designs. Not to be a downer, but the long face shot at the beginning seems a bit reminiscent of "No Surprises". It goes on a bit long, and you 50% of running time seems a tad much when there's so much greatness in the second half.

Really a good work, good luck!

nice modeling, the underwater gels are impressive

...and there is a Rainbow before it's all over. And the rainbow is in the book.

The missing title cards in the middle said: Although these renders are still rough, low resolution, not at the best framerate, and missing proper water effects, this should still give an idea of the look and tone I have in mind. As I didn't get to include the best parts, I'll wait to reveal the rest of the storyline in my "Golden Ticket" submission. Sufficed to say, it is all explained in the end. There will be sharks, and some dolphins, and mermaids, and there is a Rainbow before it's all ove

Thanks a lot for the comments, I appreciate it. It looks like my title cards got messed up inside Premeire, probably my fault, I was rushing like mad to get this in (upload finished eight minutes before the deadline) and I didn't get to check the final file. I wasn't sure if you had to submit during the "storyboard" stage to be eligible to submit a video, since I'm obviously going to have to shoot for the golden ticket when I get this whole story finished.

I'm usually not a big fan of 3D cgi, but the guy in the beginning looks really great !

Some really great 3d animation in there, I love the character at the beginning.
