    nice, but really old. I believe this movie and the movie of the rig for this troll got this guy a job in the games industry, which is cool.

    Yeah, that’s an animation of JetBoy and Freakydude, here’s the thread with the job offer you mentioned:
    http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122286

    I don’t think this troll animation attracted the attention of the industry because his monster models, sculpts and animations are way better. JetBoy also made the awesome softbody ogre!

    I really like outstanding animations like this one. It´s so cool that the number of people capable of animating like this with blender increases!

    RedBirdii…don’t worry. I also remember reading this on Blender Nation before. Great job to Jet Boy however. It has a subtle humor and some great animation,

    Bad timing, possibly because of the bad IK usage or Blender just doesn’t have good rigging options still!

    Not to be picky or anything but… The cube acts more like it is a big suction cup then a heavy object.
