Oscar Winning Maya Short
I am really glad we started playing around with Maya last class. I already feel a little more comfortable when it comes to the simple basics. However, the more I research, the more I realize how in depth Maya is. I mean, just pressing the space bar is absurd. Maya is its own world, but I want to know it. And what's unique about it, is that you can create your own world. There are, as we have seen many simple and creative things you can do. Now this video below is complex and has ALOT going on (and it was made in Maya). It is a clever animation using simple shapes and recognizable symbols. It gives me hope that something with so many moving objects and a world can be created with this software. I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW!
I am really excited. If by the end of this class I can make a world full of animation that would be great.

It is not only an amazing piece of animation but manages to tell our sad story as mindless consumers, a message that would get lost if you just watch the trailer and think of it as a "cute" animation.
Eerie enough that deals with an epic disaster as Japan recently experienced something similar (if real!) and that Californians are so expecting, the BIG ONE!
