The Apocalypse Comes To Spain In Jesus Orellana's VANITAS

by Todd Brown, December 15, 2008 7:41 AM


Here's a little something interesting by way of Spain ...

While animation is normally very much a team effort recent advances in technology mean that if you're patient and talented enough it is now possible to go it solo, an apporach demonstrated in recent years by Makoto Shinkai, John Bergin and others. And it was Bergin's post-apocalyptic opus From Inside - a film animated over the span of three years by Bergin working solo on his home computer and manipulating images from his own graphic novel - that caught the eye of Spanish comic artist Jesus Orellana. Though Orellana had no previous experience in animation the success of Bergin's film made him want to try something similar himself and so with no budget and no help he spent a solid month preparing the teaser for what he hopes will become a feature length project, the apocalyptic picture Vanitas.

This would be an eye catching bit of work even if were produced by an experienced team, that it was produced by one man working solo makes it all the more so. Check it out below the break.
