This DIY Russian “adaptation” of Michael Bay’s Transformers was shot in two hours and edited in a month.

Presumably they will get paid effects work out of this demo, and in that regard it’s a good calling-card type of project. Remember when you used to need a room-sized computer to do this kind of stuff? Shot on a Canon T2i (known as the 550D overseas) and Nikon D5000, animated in 3ds Max. More »
