Bunny Situation by Michael Sormann
 |
You know how it is. You’re watching a film develop. Maybe it’s been a couple of years. Or 5. Sooner or later, you just quit stopping by the development site. And if the film ever crosses your mind, you just think, “Yeah, that thing’s dead. What could he be doing all this time?”
Well… Michael Sormann has given us an answer, at least as regards his film “Theme Planet”. At the Theme Planet website, he’s just released a short film, “Bunny Situation“, which he did for SIGGRAPH. Michael wants to be sure you know the short is NOT Theme Planet, but just a short set in the same universe. It’s a pretty charming short, gorgeous visuals, nice pacing. Excellent music and sound. The best news? Bunny Situation shows Michael really knows how to string a film together. And now we can go back to waiting for the rest of Theme Planet, I guess…

5 years for a non commercial animation is not really that much, fitting animation around a full time job is incredibly difficult which makes amateur films all the more impressive.
I’ve made some “speed animations” such as Little Piggy in parallel to my main project “The Flea Circus” so that I can see some completed results on screen.

5 years, for the quality he’s getting - is PHENOMENAL! I’ve seen productions with tens or even hundreds of people, which didn’t yield results as nice as what Michael’s done. It’s inspiring and humbling.
