A man throws caution to the wind...with some insurance. Steampunk-ish animation by Nicholas Lombardo of the Ringling School of Art and Design. Music written and performed by Todd Lombardo.

You know, they couldn't get any more minimalistically perfect than this. Excellent music choice, great art direction, and a nice little packaged win at the end.

Like very much.

You know, I agree, I thought the main characters face was the least creative part of the animation, the rest has so much more...finesse.
And yes, very soothing.

Don't like the character design at all.
but nice animation strangely relaxing to watch.

It seemed a little stiff to me, but a fun idea.


I have watched so Manny animations I really don't like the whole over animation with all the exspresoins and everything . its sort of taken for granted that having all the easing and momentum and stuff typically found in Disney style animation is the pinical of animation.

but i think your right aspects of this do seem a bit stiff or soleless but that kinda works with this animation its like keano reevs in the matrix he might be stiff and sole less as an actor but that works realy well in some films.

That, is just simply amazingly cool to know! Let him know how much I enjoyed it. I have to check out his blog, and the music (I will definitely put that in the credits) thank you so much for posting it!
It is wild what you find digging around online!

Hah, I can't believe this is on here...this was my brother's senior thesis as a student at Ringling in '06. He is a 3d modeler at Activision (recently designed the RC Bomb Car in Black Ops). He now posts some of his personal work on his blog - http://nicholaslombardo.blogspot.com/.
The music was written and performed by our cousin, Todd Lombardo. He writes and produces music in Nashville and is currently touring with Jerry Douglas - check out a performance from last year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORvfCJkhRm4.
