The world of digital animation has changed more with the advancement of technology and tools than any other story-telling medium, and this art form is still in its infancy.  As computing power and sophisticated software gets less expensive, student-created computer animated films are giving Hollywood a run for its money.
Michael Huber will show how organization, teamwork, esprit de corps, the art of story and a drive for excellence were used by a team of 20 students to create a multi-million dollar look on a limited budget.  It’s a telling trend that could set the stage for animated film production from here on out.
Michael will screen the short film Worlds Apart, which has garnered 14 awards.  He will also show how computer animation is a ripe area for the use of consultants.
Behind the Scenes of Worlds Apart is a short video about the team that created this film.
