Opus

Blur Studio | 2005
Animation Test

We made this 2 minute long test as part of the development for a movie pitch using the characters created by Berkeley Breathed. The idea here is that one of the characters, June, is a bug that only lives for a few days. Opus knew about it and promised he wouldn't be sad, but of course when the time comes he just can't avoid it.

I supervised the animation, and animated the last shot. That was also the last time I did "Scene Assembly" (lighting, rendering and compositing) at Blur. I did some of the close up shots when we're facing the snow. Dan Rice supervised Scene Assembly and Paul Taylor (In the Rough) directed it.

Here it is, in all its frozen gloriousness.
