Rustboy

May 14, 2002

This site has been floating around the web for a while, but I've finally realized its significance. Rustboy is a 3-D animation film (a la Toy Story) that is being produced by a man named Brian Taylor. The difference is that he is completing the whole thing on a shoestring budget at his home computer. Granted, his version of home software may be different than your average college freshman, but it is much cheaper than anything being used at Pixar.

The results thus far have been astounding. It helps that he is incredibly talented, but it is simply amazing what can be done with consumer tools. Go go digital media revolution!
