Animation industry taking the first step in Greece

Lefteris — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:15:16 +0000

Hi all!

I was watching TV the other night and I noticed the improved quality of visuals and 3D animation.

Specifically I found these guys who made this great advert (see the ad below) on 3D.

I was impressed and so I searched for their website and I found their portfolio which is quite impressive!

Even now with all the crisis in Greece animation industry finds a way through and takes the first on Greek TV.

Happy Holidays!!

Gone for 9 months

Hi all.

After a long time since I last posted here I thought I might drop by and day hi to all while explain my absence.

In Greece (where I am right now) army is not optional. Every man has to go and spend 9 months there.

I was chosen for the Greek airborne which is supposed to be one of the toughest places to get trained.

I have already spent my first two months so there’s only 6 to go! Wish me luck.

Thanks for dropping by.

Happy Hour – Animated Short Film

Lefteris — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 23:45:24 +0000

Can’t really believe this was all done in Blender and rendered with blender internal!! Great work also with the logo and the whole design!!
They say:
“This is an animated short film project, created by a team of five enthusiastic first-year 3D animation students. The short film goes by the name of ‘Happy Hour’. The idea started from a simple joke while we were out enjoying some beers and eventually grew into our first animated 3D short film.”

Made with Blender 2.5b.
