Hi,
I'm sure a lot of you know this short already; it's a film of the animation school "Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg" (the school I'm applying for...;)) by Robert Kuczera. I think it's an awsome short, and although I've seen it for several times, I still always enjoy watching it!
It's for download now on

I'd love to download it, but 78 megs would take me a couple of days on dialup.

you gotta stop usin that excuse and get with the times man!
THE FUUUTUUUREE is now, the future is cable.
As for the short, yah, its a good one. They showcased it at CGNetwork a while back. There was an interview with the creator i believe.

The future isn't free, and the future doesn't convince the cable company to get access out to the middle of nowhere. That's why my friend Mike still pays 24 bucks a month for AOL and waits sixteen years before his songs download instead of two literal seconds. I suppose there's always moving to a different house, or raising millions to develop the lines just to get out to you...but I digress =)
As far as size goes, streaming options or an H.264 version are something to consider for the author. I'd even be willing to create the files for anyone interested in seeing this.
i hope he uses itunes :)
Well, for some reason I can not download the clip. :(
I took a look at the PDF and the project looks great.
I do not understand why they made the choice of using dome lighting, it looks like a lot of extra rendering time. As of yet, I have not done any rendering but I would think that keeping the lighting simple would still get them to where they wonted to be.
See it's not all us old hill/country folks that can't download it. Sure I'd love broadband, but right now I do the best with what I've got. You students get it piped into your dorms for no upfront cost to you, what do you care?

Hey, it isn't always the middle of nowhere either. I live in the S.F. bay area, on the peninsula, in a very suburban area. When I started working from home, I had to wait months for cable internet access, even though we had digital cable already. They hadn't extended service to my area yet, and no amount of cajoling on my part sped up the process. There was no DSL option at the time either, for the same reason.
Imagine what a pain it is to have to Fed Ex otherwise ftp-able files everywhere because all you can have is dial-up service. My clients were understanding, but not happy...
