A CG short that deliberately leaves the polished 3D look behind.
Created in collaboration with director Keith Lango (Portal, Team Fortress 2, The Wingfeather Saga) — an award-winning animator and animation director whose career spans Valve, Blur, Reel FX and other leading studios — together with ANOMALIA and Three Bohemians, Poutník became an experiment in finding a different visual language for CG animation.
Built around simplicity, strong silhouettes and the character of hand-drawn 2D, the project brought professional production and education together to develop a custom approach to animation, rigging and rendering.
The result: 3D animation that looks and feels hand-drawn.
