That film was very good indeed.
But it won’t help. The process described is already much too prescriptive for most clients to deal with. I’ll be very suprised if it has any impact whatsoever on streamlining any of the usual problems, either for Cirkus or for anyone else.
Nice try though, I understand the sentiment.

The tone of the guys voice/attitude gets pretty irritating after a couple of minutes.

Really fun — and that’s physicist and Nobel laureate Hans Bethe (http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1967/bethe-bio.html) at the blackboard at the 4:30 mark.

I know there’s a way to make a video like this without the smartypants tone.
Clients love being made to feel stupid…

(However big kudos to Cirkus who do terrific work).

This was really useful! Just forwarded it to a client who’s unused to working with CG in his films.

“Suppose you wanted to change the little guy and make him a girl. Or, what about a horse? Or, half girl, half horse? Or half boy, half girl, half tank! UH-oh!…”

Brilliant. I’m so glad not to be an animation executive right now;)
