I loved it, its a great example of blender.

Very funny… it should be made into a full length story type animation :)

ps. my 5 year old daughter now wants to watch it over and over again.

It was actually a full HD video plate, James added the motion in post.
The final animations were rendered out at 720P.

Previously, we had tracked our "Go Elephants!" viral using an off-the-shelf 3D tracker.

I'm not near my computer for a while now, but will dig out the snail rig and textures when I get back.

Cheers,

Mark

@smrgol: Yes, please do! That would be great. And any extra files, even a tut, would be great! Good job. ;) Talking snails… :D

Strange, but I like it. Especially since the snails are made more comic, not having to be realistic. BTW, did you use Voodoo to camera track or was the brick wall simply a photograph? Anyhow, good job… singing snails rock. ;)

Nice!

Reminds me at a time lapse video I did years ago: http://blenderbuch.de/tmp/Schneckenrennen_DivX.avi

Nice renders and funny small movies! Besides the story itself, the snails look pretty good and I think a lot of people could learn from this.

I think people will be interested in the snail rigs. Always great to study! Maybe include it with a composite example as well. The downside could be other snail movies and renders showing up, hmm.

Keep'em coming I would say.

A snail sits on a turtle and goes "Wheeeeeeeeee!" :)

Perhaps Jack was simply exclaiming in surprise. Y'know, like "Crap! I didn't expect that!" Anyway … who do I talk to about obtaining a gross of these snails for my garden?

But you don't have to be taken seriously either when all you have to say is 'crap'.

In other words: give a reason why you think it's 'crap', or just keep your other worthless opinion to yourself. It contributes nothing.
