1. Dried Up
5 months ago
A short film by Jeremy Casper, Stuart Bury and Isaiah Powers

It a thesis project for Jeremy Casper and Isaiah Powers BFA in animation.

“Dried Up” is the story of a quiet old man who, surrounded by desolation and apathy, perseveres to remain true to the nature of his own beliefs and character. He toils daily to forge a last ditch effort to bring hope and life to a faithless, drought ridden old town.

    Absolutely brilliant lighting, and the set design is top-notch. What scale did you work at?

    Wonderful, wonderful work. A drop of hope in the desert...
  • Cecil 5 months ago
    Thank you! It was roughly 1:6th scale. I think our main character would be about 5 feet tall if it was a 1:6. I will be posting up pictures on our wordpress site in the next couple of days.

    Did I help one of you guys to key the background in AE on this? This looks awfully FAMILIAR. One of you guys came down to Arnold Imaging to meet up with Colin, and I gave some tips with Keylight.
    If it is you, MAN, SMALL WORLD!! And this is AMAZING!!! Good work, my friends!

    Tremendously good. I did not expect the ending (such a pleasant surprise it made me laugh out loud) and this feels so organic. It looks wonderful. I want my students to see this and respond to it.
