This is so beautifully done! I think I saw one when I was on the beach. Suddenly the sand moved quickly, as if it were a big mole. I'm happy now to know that it was a Graboid and that I should be glad to be still alive.

Beautiful stuff :-) You should do a tour to Norway and study the troll's there. I am sure you could put the old folklore into good entertainment, just like this one. Good stuff :-D

That was brilliant! I saw a bird as big as a battleship in France, it had a mohawk like the taxi driver and big goofy eyeballs.

The artistic style is wonderful. I love the science aspect.
How did you create the look of the scenery?
Frank Robnik 1 year ago

i was mostly inspired by the color, form and typography of old educational films from the 50s and 60s. high contrast, simple shapes, partial monochrome, ...

Lovely. I remember the old days - scratchy old films and the dreaded "film strip" which was just a roll of scratchy old slides. We didn't know any better. Well made Frank.

An amazing educational film about the Graboid. The writing and narration were great as were the illustrations. I give you an A for your Bachelor's thesis project. Is it safe to walk barefoot in the sand?
Vít Zemčík 1 year ago

awesome work! worth more than a bachelor! what is your field of study? design or animation?
Frank Robnik 1 year ago

i studied interactive media, so both, design and animation plus computer science are fields you learn at augsburg.

I like this. I am actually creating a whole future world called Metazoica, and it is speculative species-construction like this.

Lamentably, serious studies of Graboids have declined precipitously in recent years due to lack of funding. Yet, only well-grounded, intensive research can uncover the many dynamic, inter-related components of Graboid ecology so necessary for enhancing basic understanding of our complex natural world.
