Kiwi vs. Redenbacher
There seems to be two approaches to 3d animation these days.Redenbacher back from the grave is a CREPPY video of a dead man brought to life with the voodoo of CGI. What's creepy is its ALMOST convincing. Uncanny Valley and all that. Deeply disturbing stuff, and yet they keep trying, trying to make a cgi that feels completely human. Maybe they will get it soon, but as you can see, the cusp is worse then almost. On the other hand, we have .Kiwi, a delightful short that has more true honest heart then that bloated voxel corpse could ever have. More heart then most Hollywood movies I've seen. To quote Vegi-Tales, "I laughed, I cried. It moved me Bob." Its a great film, if this guy doesn't get a great career in CGI, something is truly wrong with the world. Far less manhours went into this, and yet it has far more genus. Its beauty and truth reach deep into my soul, and well, he flew. He flew. That's all you can really say. He, FLEW.
