WHO'S REALLY DOING IT?

Animator Obinna Onwuekwe, a frequent reader and commentor on this site in times past, is one of the few really doing it. On his Mayhem Productions site, he is making it happen. He currently has two 3D animated, cel shaded series running on the site, and in addition to being free to vue there, you can also download versions for the most popular mobile devices, including the PSP, Zune and iPhone. Using tools like Vue 6, modo, Lightwave 3D and others, he is bringing his imagination to the screen.

The site currently appears to sport all free content supported by pay per click ads. Aside from the episodes of the series, the site also offers story and character bios and, in the future, it seems will offer tutorials on the tools used and even a web store. ONe can only hope we well see more of such efforts in the near future as many other animators are empowered by the amazing tools out there to create what they really want to create, and get it on the screen.

I've said it a thousand times. You don't need millions of dollars. You don't need major studio backing. You only need ideas and the will to bring them to life, whatever it takes!
