In addition to "The Lift" and "Ephemera", Brendan Marnell (C'05) has now sent us yet another animation he created during his senior year at Penn.
Per Brendan, "'Foray is more of a formalist exercise than anything else. I focused on designing and rigging characters, scale relationships, and camera movements."

This is a very cool video and the colors and vibrancy reminds me of one of those Dali paintings like the one you see below.

A few weeks ago, I showcased animator Brendan Marnell's (C'05) "The Lift", an animated short based on the theme of "leaving college".
Today I wanted to share Ephemera, another great film Brendan did during his senior year at Penn.
Per Brendan, "It [Ephemera] was inspired by an experience 'discovering' a series of rooms built into the support structure of South Street Bridge. The walls were covered with layer upon layer of really great graffiti, and I could see people had been using it as a hangout for a long time. I tried to return to the spot a couple weeks later, but the entrance had been cemented shut."

There certainly are a good number of digital animations coming out of Penn these days.
Brendan Marnell (C'05) created a very cool short called "The Lift" for his Fine Arts thesis project from his 2005 senior year.
Per Brendan, "It's a short animation about a character leaving the world he knows to enter a future he cannot predict. He faces rejection, but ultimately finds a path for himself. Looking back, I think it has a lot more to do with my own situation of leaving school than I realized at the time."
Can you see this in the video?
Brendan currently works as an animator and graphic designer outside DC.

...Reminds me of another video I posted about a few months ago having to do with graduating from college.
