Chris Jones' The Passenger
I know quite a few people may have already read about this, but thought I'd share it for those of you who haven't yet seen it.
It's a short (7 min) animation that took this guy 8 years to make, and won him an award in Australia. Absolutely excellent in my opinion, got me motivated to get modelling and studying again! http://www.chrisj.com.au/thepassenger/movies.html The quality isn't great, but I for one will be getting it on dvd, which he sells from his website. Gotta support each other where you can! |
haha was that 6 months to make, 7 1/2 years to render?
did you see the stats... # Render times averaged about 3 hours per frame # The longest render was about 8 hours per frame # An average of 0.74 seconds of film were completed per week (that's including animation, sound, everything) wow, thats dedication! if i had done it, it might have only been 148 seconds rather than 7 minutes. |
But was it worth it?
Maybe. Not my cuppa tea. He certainly did a good job, and I am sure he will get adopted by Pixar or something |
Agreed, he did a fantastic job. But i would go nuts if that's all I had to show for 8 years of work. I'm guessing he had other projects he worked on too. Nonetheless...very impressive indeed.

Born in Newyork I believe, then moved to Baltimore at a later date, not sure at what age though. Yeah, I would've picked something a little more interesting but each to their own I guess!
edit: Just found out he was born in Newyork, but grew up in Baltimore, so I guess he's pretty much from Baltimore then! |
man thats a long time ... but pretty cool story behind it all
