Defective Detective

Defective Detective from Cartoon Brew on Vimeo.

Avner Geller and Stevie Lewis worked together to bring us this lovely animated film about a hapless detective’s attempt in catching a serial killer. Gorgeously lit, textured, modelled and designed, it features a combination of 2D and 3D animation and debuted at Cartoon Brew’s second annual Student Animation Festival. It scores a pretty okay rating in the humor department, in my opinion, but the best thing about it is its brevity: A good film usually doesn’t have to go any longer than it needs to. On that note, I’ll shut up now and let you enjoy it.

(Thanks to Greg for the nudge.)
