Gooberstory

Wow! I know that many of you probably won’t watch this animation because it takes forever to load but if you ever get the chance, I definitely recommend it. “Gooberstory” is basically the legend of the peanut. As insignificant and boring as that sounds, this animation is amazing. The animals and objects in this animation are so life-like and fluid. I’m not sure how the background was done but the colors are brilliant and the scenery is quite realistic. I can’t figure out if the backgrounds were derived from bitmaps or if someone is just really good with illustrator. I can’t even imagine the amount of time that went into this work. It’s like a short film and everything fits together so well. The animator uses color schemes to create a mood and then uses music very effectively to compliment that mood. If I ever had a chance, I would love to sit down with this animator and see how this was done.
