Hello! Please check out my newest short movie called "The Broom". It is about a cute Witch and a Harlequin... :)

The whole thing was made using Maya Complete 4.0 and for creating textures i used Photoshop...
I started this movie while i was learning Maya at school. I finished it after graduation though....
Here are some screenshots:

TheBroom Small ca 6.5MB (http://www.keyemura.net/movies/thebroom320x212compressedmp3audio.avi)

I like it
However one comment

I think that the witch when walking needs some work ,
im by no means a professional and still working on my first short , so im not sure if u wanted her to be that slow or what.

But i think it would look better with a litte faster walk and some more detail in the walk

but otherwise good job ,

The rest of the character animation is good, so I assume the witch's walk is meant to be comical. I think it works well.

I think my major complaint is the overuse of depth of field. Except for maybe the shot with the frog there really shouldn't have been any DOF. DOF is good when emphasizing a change of focus from foreground to background (as with the frog), or emphasizing scale (which also applies to the frog). The rest of the time it's just distracting.

But overall, I like it.
