///A Film directed and animated by MUSCLEBEAVER///


This animation thing was done in the context of our graphic design and animation diploma in university 2005.
It shows why you definitely should throw away your dvd-player!! ;) blu ray? whats that?

    Quite fantastic! It's really refreshing to see stuff like this that's willing to pause on a scene for more than half a second.

    This is rad! It reminds me of the work done by MK12 - vimeo.com/user1170216
  • MUSCLEBEAVER plus 2 years ago
    yep maybe. You can't avoid beeing influenced by the precursors/masters in this discipline...
  • Kieran Foster 2 years ago
    Clearly you've got your own unique style and sense of humour, though. I really loved your video games piece as well. Excellent work!
  • MUSCLEBEAVER plus 2 years ago
    Thank you very much man !! :)

    This animation is fantastic. How do you guys do it?

    This is genius!!! Pure genius! I was all smiles especially with the glorious tunes of Vince DiCola in the background.

    Till this day I'm still a huge fan of that score. He did Rocky IV too (Rocky mountain climb/Drago workout music was the best).

    The animation was beyond superb! Awesome transitions and a flow that just felt like the piece went on forever. I really didn't want it to end. The only thing that bites about this video is that I can't enjoy it in hi-def on a 40+ HDTV.

    Just awesome. I can't say enough great things about this video. Spectacular job!!!
  • MUSCLEBEAVER plus 2 years ago
    Hey Mark, thank you so much for your nice words!

    That was well done. Having grown up in that era. You guys really captured that early 80's feel. When VHS was just blowing up, but you add your own twist to it. I love it!

    One Question though, was the live action footage shot by you guys or taken from stock footage used in the 80's?

    I ask this because the actor eating popcorn resembles a young Marc McClure. The actor who played Jimmy Olsen in the 1978 Superman movie.

    Hey great. Color and design was well managed to look dated. The anouncer's voice is familiar - sounds like a high priced professional. How did you get him for a school project?
  • MUSCLEBEAVER plus 2 years ago
    Thank you! Well, it was a lot of "voice talent inquest" and actually one phone call ... he liked the idea and supported us for a small fee. We REALLY were lucky to find a professional like him, resident in munich.
    here's the link to his site:

  • MUSCLEBEAVER plus 2 years ago
    Thank you !
    Music by VinceDiCola:
    "Transformers - The Movie" (1986)
    Track: "Escape".
    Man it took us months to find the right song ... sigh

    Awesome work, nice motion graphics there!! :)
    The music and the voice remeniscence of the typical 1980s commercial (circa Ballbuster commercial)
    btw I still have a collection of some 1000 VHS in my home...
