[SFS] Bugs' Race



The film tells a funny story of worms race in the grass. The prize in the race is to rule over the meadow, so every player wants to win at all costs. The main characters - a spider, snail, ants, beetles and mysterious caterpillar will do everything in their power to eliminate competitors.

A short film made ​​in computer animation technique by two students - Ania Jurkiewicz and Andrzej Ellert - of the Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology in Warsaw. The main inspiration for the film was Pixar's 'A Bug's Life'. Work on the film took two years and ended in 2008. The entire animation was created in Autodesk Maya. Music and sound were created in a studio Cafe Ole. Snail character voiced by a famous Polish actor Arkadiusz Jakubik.
I rembember how I was fascinated in this movie couple of years ago. For the polish industry that was a sign, that a new generation may be interested doing things possible only in other countries.
But, now I see couple of things that might be done better, such as sticking more to animation principles or even silly thing as industry standard 16:9 pixel aspect ratio.
However, this is a nice piece of animation and great job was done by only two students.
