Wild Brain

Posted by Charley Parker at 7:47 am

If you ever wanted to know who to blame for those well-animated but skin-crawling Lamasil commercials about the dermatophytes who lift up a toenail and crawl in, here they are. Wild Brain is a San Francicso company that creates animations for commercial and entertainment clients using multiple styles of animation: 2D and 3D digital, Flash, rotoscoping, traditional cell animation and various combinations of those techniques.

The site in nicely arranged in Flash and HTML and includes a gallery of Quicktime clips that can be organized by subject or style. You can even view a Quicktime version of those cuddly dermatophytes. (BTW, if you don’t have Quicktime, you’re missing out on the best web video format.)

There are also short but informative articles in the About Us section under “Animation 101″ that explain the basics of how cel and CGI animations are produced.

Site Quirks: Clicking on the gallery thumbnails opens a pop-up with details about the project and a Video. It isn't always obvious that the video is loading, look for the "Transferring data" indicator in your browser's status bar.

lines and colors

lines and colors is a blog about drawing, sketching, painting, comics, cartoons, webcomics, illustration, digital art, concept art, gallery art, artist tools and techniques, motion graphics, animation, sci-fi and fantasy illustration, paleo art, storyboards, matte painting, 3d graphics and anything else I find visually interesting. If it has lines and/or colors, it's fair game.
