Pyrats
Here is a cool animation I accidentally landed on today. It’s only a 1 min 35 sec but still, it’s a damn good job. Produced by 5 students from “Gobelins l’école de l’image” as an introductory movie for the Annecy 2006 international animation festival, Pyrats required 7 month of work. Although the movie is in 2D cartoon-style, it required the use of some 3D techniques through the use of Alias Maya.
It reminds me of Monkey Island, yes that old Sierra game I used to play some time ago. The graphics looks pretty much like in the game, it won’t surprise if the producers were inspired by it. Some screenshots below:
