Creative Reel Honors Inspiring Animated Work from Animation Mentor Students Around the World

Animation mentor - Student Showcase 2011Animation Mentor, the leading online character animation school created by animators for animators, has released "Student Showcase 2011: Back to Basics" featuring creative work from its students around the world. Fans of the Student Showcase will definitely note a different look. Unlike past showcase editions, this year's Student Showcase is a compilation of work that goes back to the basics of character animation. The 2011 showcase has been purposely stripped of all layers, backdrops and textures — thereby shining the spotlight squarely on the character animation. The overall effect pays homage to 1920s Hollywood — a time when the character was truly king.

Cinesite work on x-men first classCinesite, one of the world’s leading film visual effects houses, has completed more than 115 visual effects shots for Twentieth Century Fox’s "X-Men: First Class", which hit cinemas last week. Among the effects Cinesite created were a retro version of the Cerebro Room, Azazel’s fight sequences, a military parade in Red Square and Washington, DC devastated by nuclear war.

Directed by Matthew Vaughn, the prequel takes the viewer back to the beginning, before Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) took the names Professor X and Magneto, and when they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
