I just felt like charing two little things I made in Anime.
1) Captain Flame.
This was supposed to be a continuing episode of the super hero Captain Flame vs the evil Professor Flint. I was working at a post production company here in sweden were I developed this idea togeather with Nicola Smanio. But as I have left that job, this is the one and only 1 minute episode I guess you will see(:
The character animations where made in Anime, compositing in After Effects, Helicopter in Cinema 4D, Backrounds in Photoshop.

The other one is just a quick camera move going into a forest, it is made as a intro for a commercial. I pushed Anime to the very edge in using multiple really high-res images, I hade to take away some of them as they when rendering showed up as broken images. Is is just about a couple of seconds.

Gaaaaahhh, what happens next, what happens to Flameman?! Noooooooooooooo!

But any way, holy crap that is some amazing work, really incredible animation. I love the backgrounds as well, very well detailed.

Really great. I love the design as well as the animation. So many really good series never get past the pilot stage.

I think that has something to do with limited bandwidth of the tv channels. Once the networks (and cable providers) go all IPTV and switch off broadcasting, this shouldn't be an issue anymore. Unfortunately, this may take another ten, twenty years, judging from the slow switch from analog to digital broadcasting.

Yes, what happened to Flame? The original story is that the end of the rope he is tied up with gets stuck in the helicopter door. So he will find himself dangeling dangerously below the heli, and dangerously above the lava (and then what? It´s all up to you). Anyway, that is all history now.

You could call him that, he is a superhero without any real superpower accually. Just like Indy. Unfortunately this is the only episode there is, and probably ever will be):

Thanks, you are very much welcome!

Yes, I agree. Here in Sweden there is not much economic fundings for developing animated series or films, unfortunately.


Cheerio!
