Animation test of Luca and Alberto attributed to animator Victor Navone

"Here’s a quick anim test of how minimal we could go with movement at times, allowing for the hair sim to do some work for us. I think this one is also by Victor." – Enrico Casarosa

Major Project Film Parody Research #32

Pete sent me the video below titled, ‘Alien Song’ made by, Victor Navone.

I really liked watching this short animation. 

It is all built around the song, ‘I will survive’ by Gloria Gaynor.

The animation brings a real flair to the song which was great to see. 

The lip syncing matches with the music. And the action that goes with the song is a great little touch.

The way this is shot is great to see, as the shots offer a great look into the action. Especially when it goes from the beginning of being sat on a chair to getting up and start pacing.

At the end it’s a great touch to the animation. As the Alien is pacing and says “I will survive” a massive disco ball falls and squashes the alien. This adds a great humorous out take, and was a great way to end.

Pete has told me to look into the person who created this so I definitely will.
