Some of you may remember the crazy visual and interactive innovator that was tokyoplastic – back in the day the flash site they had was quite entertaining. Well, Tokyoplastic hasn’t left to return with kitteh-kitteh, a site and some short animations… watch below.

We got to work with a really great new set of people making this animation. Andy Hague helped to build one of the neatest, most comprehensible comps I have ever seen and then I really struggled to match its excellence in the remaining shots. Cheers Andy. Being a method animator Anders Freij had to spend three weeks living as a cat in order to really connect with the feline psyche; quite justifiable if you ask me as the results are magnificently authentic. And I spent three torturous months rendering and re-rendering and putting stuff on fire. Well done me. A billion thanks to everyone involved.
Also I used Tyson Ibele’s great building generator to create some of the buildings… and then rebuilt them with simpler geometry but its an ace script anyway check it out.

The first installment of our microEPIC kitty kitty series. You can see more on the website kittehkitteh dot com.
12 years in the making and pretty much as good as Avatar though considerably shorter. The bulk of the work on this micro has faded into the distant mists of time but if memory serves Damian Johnson did a couple of sketches of a cat once and Matthias Bjurstrum modeled it, Rodi Kaya rigged it and James Kirkham blessed it with soft downy fur. The rest of the work was done far more recently, Ben Crowe animated it and Antoine Perez worked his ass off rendering, comping and mending all of my stupid errors. Thank you all.
