An emotional 3D tale
2005 at 04.52 am posted by Veerle
Something that I lost track of recently re-surfaced and by watching it again I remembered this emotional and beautiful tale so vividly. It’s a short movie about a troubled young woman that finds an unexpected surprise. The beauty of this masterpiece is that there aren’t any real actors in it since everything is in 3D. The short film is called “This wonderful life”.
3D is not my cup of tea but it features some of the most advanced and complex facial expressions I’ve seen in a non commercial film. Both technically and artistically an amazing job. The short film was made by Liam Kemp and took 23 months to finish. Maybe you did already know about this but if not I highly recommend watching it, pretty sure it will be the best part of your day.
PS: have a Kleenex nearby ;-)

I think that the emotion are mostly from the feeling that get out from the screenplay. Even if this was done in a more traditional animated way, the emotion would have been the same. (It gets me tears in fact. I’ve a new born girl and… arghhh I love her so much!!! How can someone abandoned is children) Have a nice day!

Personally, I think it’s the music that does it (although it’s a bit corny...) :)

I saw this animation awhile ago, I thought it was intense then and I think it is now. Its awsome to see sombody just capture human emotion like that, always a good sign of a great animator.

Very nice animation! I agree with Roel, the music’s very nice and adds to the overall effect! Wish I could do animations like that! :P
