1. Happy Hour - Animated Short Film
by Team Highfive
11 months ago
This is an animated short film project, created by a team of five enthusiastic first-year 3D animation students. The short film goes by the name of ‘Happy Hour’. The idea started from a simple joke while we were out enjoying some beers and eventually grew into our first animated 3D short film.

Made with Blender 2.5b.

Sakari Niittymaa / director
Miika Puustinen / TD, character modeling, rigging, animation
Shareef Askar / main animator, character design
Jyri Jernström / modeling, animation
Mikko Aaltonen / project management, lighting TD

    Funny ! :) Nice work guys.

    I recognized that tram at the beginning, and some typical stuff of Helsinki, and thanks! Finally I understand why in Finland the beer doesn't have foam.

    Nice short, I'd like to show it at my next Creative Commons Short Film Night at a local cinema. How come it's creative commons but not for download?
  • Team Highfive 11 months ago
    Oops, that's true. Thanks for the info. We make it downloadable now. And that's great if you show it to the people :)

    Hello. I loved the animation for the video, particularly the environments and the shot of the shoes hanging from the phoneline. The film is loosely based on a true story indeed.

    I'm competing with this short in the same category in the Suzanna Awards, but I have to say this is my fave short of the lot. It's beautifully rendered, really very artful. And the very reason I don't drink beer.
    Well done, team.
