Great texturing, animation and style! However I'm not so sure about the human characters, who imho do not succeed in creating rapport with the viewer. In my eyes they are not quite sympathetic, their facial features and body proportions need some tweaking.. But again this is my personal view and it might have been decision not to get them so unrealistically cute. Happy new year to all On 31-Dec-11 17:25, Chris Bobotis wrote: > Agreed Greg. I spent some time with Dan this year and he left a lasting impression. He is very talented, a bit of a renaissance man really. He is a talented illustrator, animator, musician, he is also quite comfortable with coding and he is also one of the nicest guys I have ever met. It always seems to work out that way... the most talented people that I have met also happen to be very grounded and humble. > > We are trying to put together an interview with him.

It's a great piece that shines with character in such a boring subject matter. The sound design also really makes this piece shine.
