Apparently, this little clip’s become very popular among professional animators and students of animation:
It’s the final project of a third year ‘gaming arts’ student, the culmination of a full term of work, using all the tools he learned in class.
It’s also a flip of the finger to his school, I guess, but ironically it’s developing a cult following.
Makes me think maybe this guy was right after all.
Personally I love the little bear. There’s a certain irresistible charisma in his glassy, expressionless eyes. Oblivious to his unrefined and out-of-synch moves, he dances his way across the earth, and indeed, seems bent on conquering it.
He embodies the fearless spirit that compells many art students to enter the profession in the first place … only to have their dreams dashed against the tidal wave of mediocrity and commercialism that awaits them.
I hope it becomes the next big internet meme.
Actually, now that Leno, O’Brien and Kimmel are going back on the air without their writers, I bet they’d kill to get their hands on this kind of material.
Hey, with any luck the guy could end up making enough to pay back his student loans.
