Hollow – Student Short – Made at Calarts
This video is one of the more experimental projects which combines 3D generated work and 2D actors in a mixed media fashion in a very professional manner.
Oliver writes:Hello,
I recently completed my animated thesis film at the California Institute of the Arts, Hollow, a task that would not have been made possible without Blender. Although the film is mostly made in After Effects, Blender came to my aid on a few key scenes. I learned 3D animation on Blender many years ago, and I am truly grateful that such a wonderful tool has been by my side all these years, evolving and growing with me as an artist, and of course, always free. Anyway, I thought I’d share my work with the Blender community. The link is included below, Hollow can be watched via Vimeo. Thank you for your time.
Cheers,
Oliver Franklin Anderson
I really love the look and feel of this. A sure creepy sensation. Congratulations on the completion of your project though, Maybe you can start blending more? I’m sure it would be great to see.

Great!, very cinematographic, and I really like the mix of 2d and 3d. you should be part of the “Mango” team
I like it!
I loved the aesthetics. I didn’t expect it to be slightly NSFW though.
I’m sure Zack Snyder (director of 300, Sucker Punch) would have loved it too.
Very nice movie. Very artistic points of view. Congratulations !
Cool stuff, great atmosphere and style!
Very aesthetic….would like to see more:)
Very slick feel. I liked the contrasts and color.
I liked the artistic feel of it, and the story was grasping. Very inspirational and thought-provoking.
My kid was looking over my shoulder, surprised no warnings of NSFW.
I love the atmosphere, it hits some inconsistencies at parts but for the most part conveys itself very well.
However, the story needs some work. Is it a story about a murderer? Then why is there only a single body? Is it about this desperate man who committed suicide? Then why is he boarded up. Is it intentionally mysterious? Then why bother showing me the body? I know I’m being critical of this point, but it’s the crescendo of the piece an in my opinion, it needs further consideration.
Otherwise, the piece was really well done and in an interesting style, and I look forward to seeing you progress in the future. :)
very good film
but please sign the nudity warning…
Needs a NSFW warning.
I second the motion for the nudity warning. Many do not like being flashed on a blog that is largely G rated.
You made this with a Blender? I’m wishing it was less narrative, more poetic and less literal.
