Good Reference Film

Watch this short film.

Now, pretend to be French.

Bill Perkins

Here's some environment stuff from Bill Perkins, a concept artist who has worked for Disney and Dreamworks, among others. There is more cool stuff on his site: www.highstreetstudio.com.

This is a render, but I'm not sure from which movie.

Tinkerbell

Aladdin

gorilla warfare

What better reference for gorilla warfare on city streets than the King of Kong? Watch the way he moves around and the dynamic camera moves/angles.

Adrenaline rush

Much more complicated than anything we'd tackle, but the testosterone charged adrenaline rush is sweeeet.

simple, yet effective

Efficient and well executed. The look/feel and animation all support the tone very cohesively.




This has a really cool & mysterious feeling, and a great punchline. Plus, you gotta love the scooter. It was done by 3 students from the Filmakademie's Animationsinstitut in Germany. Project web site.
