"Stolen Smells" from Anzovin Studio

[luckbat]

"Stolen Smells" is a children's book that was commissioned to be adapted into an A:M-animated short by the Anzovins. Using the same style of flat lighting as The Duel, it looks like they've managed to match the 2D look of the original book very closely, though the characters are fully animated models.

 

Anyway, I've been looking forward to seeing this since I first read about it--it's always nice to see the different styles that A:M can be used for.

Not too bad at all!!!!

 

I tell ya, the makers of SouthPark should see how much money they've wasted by producing thier

animation content with some "other" higher priced software!

 

thanks for the link

That is really great. Too bad animation master doesnt get credit. In the tags it says flash, ugh!

Wow that's really great work!

Looks tremendous. Any other info from Anzovin on how this was done, their workflow, etc?

 

Shame they didn't give credit to Anzovin or A:M on YouTube for this.

Well, there's the "Making of 'Duel'" segment on the Siggraph 2005 tape:

Other than that, this "Duel" thread has some insights, although all the test-render movies are now gone:

I know of no "Stolen Smells"-specific information at all. Because it was a commercial production, the materials used to make it may not belong to Anzovin Studio.

Beautiful work though, and really inspiring to see how AM can be used for different looks. It all works just great!
