This…and a 10,000 word document on a simple database driven web application.

expresso is a short 3d animation made using 3dsmax and a cartoon renderer called illustrate!. It took about 300hrs to do although many more than that if you include planning and sketching etc…

Overall I think it came out well, although there are still some mistakes which seem pretty obvious to me (although luckily few other people), including the classic scene where the character has no face (see if you can spot it) and a couple of animation jitters here and there caused by some dodgy mixing of motion capture data.
