Description:
In the middle of nowhere, an average guy meets an average bird, but he soon discovers the bird is not the harmless little creature it appears to be. The Coin is a stylized experiment inspired by graphic books that utilizes motion capture and traditional keyframe tools together in a non realistic piece of animation. Created with a mix of custom and off-the shelf software, this short hopes to prove that high-quality animation can be produced within a shoestring budget.
