Cummulus & Nimbus

Posted by Dirk on Thursday, March 22, 2012 · Leave a Comment

From ‘we think things’ comes this cute character animation exercise and – I dont know – it just fits my mid-thursday, just-before-lunch-mood:

We had this idea for a character, Cummulus. He was meant to be a mascot, something funny for our reel. But the longer we thought about what he could do, the more gags and characters we came up with and the whole thing grew into a fake cartoon intro thingy. Cummulus & Nimbus is a, let’s say … lengthy 5 second project.
