The Third & The Seventh from Alex Roman on Vimeo.



Whoa...have a look at this...
Alex Roman's "The third and the seventh". Which is currently sort of spreading like wildfire in my college Animation circle, and apparently everywhere else in the world right.

Oh yeah, and it's better if you go to Vimeo and full view it, definitely worth it.

It's sort of a photographic short film; there's no storyline, but just for the visual beauty.Bear in mind that everything you see is fully computer generated ,even the trees. (with the exception of the flying birds and humans, i think).It's an individual effort and the guy took 1 year to make it. I really love the texturing, lighting and composition (the depth of field). The level of detail reaches the point of making fake handheld camera shakes.OK, maybe that is common, but it adds that extra level or realism anyway. Have a look at the pen in the opening scene with the slight handheld juddering. I think if i wasn't told it was CG, I would have fully believed that it was shot in real life.

Totally. Awesome.
