Yah, that was all digital. Pretty cool huh? A lot of 3d artists talk about acting skills and such, but I'm of the opinion that digital animation owes more to puppetry than acting - digital carachters are like complex prosthesis/puppets for an animator to control in every detail. Dig it.

Wow. I liked it a lot. I'd like to see it in a larger format.
Definitely creepy, though. I'm not sure I'm okay with doing this to a real person so recently dead.
Very nice, though. The music is a perfect fit.
As far as animation being puppetry or acting... especially in stop-motion and computer animation, yes, the controls are very much like a puppeteers. However, without the ability to ACT, what exactly is the animator going to have the "puppet" do? Move around from point A to point B? Making a lifeless character, be it clay or drawings or cotton batting or pixels, come to life is quite a delicate art, and in my opinion, what you choose to DO with the character is far more important that what you know about the controls.

Um. . . Professor X has been assassinated by frogs! Now they're using his body to pass subliminal messages of death and cultural abandonment to the rest of the X-community!
