Pigeon: Impossible
Posted by Herr - Instructor | Filed under General
A rookie secret agent is faced with a problem seldom covered in basic training: what to do when a curious pigeon gets trapped inside your multi-million dollar, government-issued nuclear briefcase.
Production on the film spanned for nearly 5 years and is the first attempt at animation by writer/director Lucas Martell: “When the project started, it was really just an excuse to learn 3D animation, but by the end of the project I had spent so much time reworking and polishing the story that I just wanted people to laugh.”
The end result is a hilarious 6-minute romp through the streets of Washington D.C. as our hero fights to save himself, and the world from the chaos reigned down by a hungry pigeon. Breathtaking visuals and a sweeping soundtrack showcase the work of nearly one-hundred talented artists and musicians, and the film stands as a testament to what can be accomplished by a team of dedicated volunteers working for the love of their craft.
Pigeon: Impossible was made using XSI, for less than $10,000 and created entirely in people’s spare time.

November 19th, 2009 at 1:43 pmJust graded your quiz Nandor. Just a question, why did you ditch using Fox and start using Samus? I mean, its a step up for sure from fox, but just curious.

November 19th, 2009 at 2:20 pmUmm, I don’t recall switching to Samus. I do however remember me staying Fox and beating Pikachu and Kirby every time I play. I do have a question for you though. How long has it been since you played against someone who is actually good? I mean, i’ve been talking to Lodie, and i’ve heard that there aren’t any good players out there. Which means, you prolly aren’t that good anymore. Am I right?

November 19th, 2009 at 3:45 pmWow. Well, that was a little harsh to the current crop – why are you so mean? Do you hate kittens?
To be honest, I haven’t played that often, and would need a little warm up before hiqual gaming. Come in the Monday after Thanksgiving? First three games practice/warm ups, then serious business.
