Here’s a film I made for the latest CGSociety challenge…the theme was to adapt an ancient myth to steampunk stylings. I chose the myth about the fountain of youth for my topic.
Here’s some exceedingly lovely student CGI animation that also manages to tell a great little story. I’m reminded of Neil Gaiman’s story “Other People” from his excellent collection Fragile Things (to say more would be a spoiler!).
I’ve also included the Making-of video.. Pretty impressive short animation though.

Whilst I could’ve chosen any of the images, these’ll do.. (And “Something Cool” Might not be the best labeling for this, Considering its pretty hot..)

This is just an incredibly cool video & I really like the idea behind it..
Another video of all of my photos.
These were all taken since September of 2007, so this is about a year and a half worth of photos.
