We've said it before and we're saying it again: Poland's Platige Image is arguably the finest unheralded animation studio on the face of the planet. And they're here to demonstrate that fact again with Damian Nenow's animated short Paths Of Hate.
Word of Nenow's film first surfaced a full four years ago with a very solid concept trailer but with the world premiere of the completed film coming later this week there is finally something more substantial to show. A thirty second teaser arrived late last week and has already been followed by a longer trailer that runs just over a minute and includes all of the teaser footage plus more. It was worth the wait. Here's how the production house describes the aerial dogfight film:

"Paths of Hate" is a dynamic tale about hatered which is the indispensable element of human nature. Damian Nenow has created a film that matches Visual attractiveness of American action cinema and European reflexive character of author cinema. The audience is being drawn into the middle of a fight, of an unknown origins. The finale of it is a bitter author's comment.

Wow! That is some fine-looking stuff. Are the characters rotoscoped?
Glory! That is impressive stuff!
awesome :D
It's tough to beat SKY CRAWLERS at the ariel footage, but this is so much more visceral and raw (love the smoke trails) that I'd certainly give this a whirl on the big screen if I could.
I am extremely impressed by this trailer. The only thing that I have an issue with is the spitfire is a later model 1943+, you can tell by the fact that there are radiators on both sides of the wing, you can see them at 0:33. The spit from the same era as the bf109e (likely an e4, 1941) would have had a radiator on one side ( large rectangular scoop) and a small round opening for the oil cooler on the other side. I do not mean to be a nit picker as it is a fantastic trailer worthy of its accolades, but a late model spitfire would out turn, out climb, and out run that early bf109 and shoot it down without a problem. Early model spit versus early 109 is a different story :-)
