Oktapodi

Here's another great short film from the French animation school, Gobelins. This one got a lot of attention at SIGGRAPH, though it's been floating around for a while. Great animation, and the rigging on the Octopi is pretty impressive. This clip might not be on YouTube for long, so enjoy it while you can!



You can find the home page and a neat mini-documentary here.

    Do Dreamworks give you the same money as who works for DreamWorks in US?If not,there's something wrong.
