Description:


    Utilizing an elegant black and white wood-cut style, “Up… Down… Up…”, combines traditional cel animation with new and unique techniques in 3D digital animation to create the overall “woodcut” 2D effect. More than 20 texture maps were hand drawn and applied to the 3DCG sea-serpent to give it just the right traditional effect. There are 17 texture maps applied to the head alone.
