Weekend Animations, Episode 5: Study Skills

This one is a middle of the school semester edition! At least, I think that’s where we are, right? Am I close? I’ve been out of college for a little while now and I’ve lost all track of how semesters run (and don’t even ask me about quarterly semesters or those other things, I have no idea). What I do know is that December is closing in on us and that means that there are two things on the rise on college campuses across the country:

1. Coffee consumption (gotta power load on caffeine)
2. Power Studying

So I’m here to help*! We’re going to learn about chemistry by following Oxygen around the playground in a doomed attempt to play nice with the other elements. Then we’ll have a short physics lesson in Down to Earth (which also covers some basic biology, in terms of ecosystems)…kinda.

You’ll see. In any event, these videos entertain and enlighten and, I promise, they’re better than the movies you saw in school. Let’s play with Oxygen, shall we?

Oxygen
by Christopher Hendryx

The Filmmaker says:

This is Oxygen, produced at the Ringling College of Art + Design as my thesis for the department of Computer Animation.

As a recent graduate, I am hoping this film along with a number of effects I have done for other students will help me get a job doing vfx for film, tv, or games.
