View Full Version : Fruitless Efforts - Fruit of the Womb
Blazer 09-17-2009, 01:33 PM So Fruitless Efforts has made it through it's festival run and we can finally post it online!
Fruitless Efforts highlights a day in the life of Apple, an average fruit guy trying to hold a job, have friends and just live his life like a normal apple. Unfortunately for Apple, his tree-mates have different ideas.
We're really proud of this wacky piece here at MAKE (http://www.makevisual.com)! Directed by Andrew Chesworth and Aaron Quist, this 3D and 2D piece was created using Maya, After Effects and good old fashion drawing.
Please check it out at: http://www.fruitlessefforts.com

Amazing, a great ride of a movie! I loved the blending of 2D with 3D, it made everything so fun to watch. I found myself smiling all the way through.
Really cool website by the way. :)

Lol,that was funny.I love how the banana is about to throw the grape then eats it and the apple gets trapped in the stove with both of em. :3 great job,but question.The tree sorta looked like a giant part of the body that I dare not say when It wore the swimming headgear.
Was that supposed to be a condom joke lol cause the thing was all wet and sticky when he picked it back up.

Let me put it this way. Either you picked up on our phallic reference, or you just have a dirty mind....
Like everything else in this piece, we'll leave it awkwardly ambiguous. Deal? :)

I LOVE this. Great style, and the animation is perfect. I get a sort of Ren and Stimpy vibe from it.

that was actually very funny - so hard to get the right tone for that kind of thing. A big john kriscfalusi influence methinks, no?
great job : )

WTF! hahahaha that's insane. It reminded me of the ol' Ren and Stimpy (the golden years, not that rehashed crap) animations. I want more! By the way, was he driving an Apple Jack steering wheel?

This is good. I can see that this can be developed/pitched for a TV network.

Wow, it gets better every time I watch it. I don't know if you have plans for it, but I would really love for you to make more of these. The characters and settings are great. I think you might be on to something very good here. Oh and one thing is bothering me, what does the tree say when it turns around? I keep thinking it sounds like gibberish, but it also does sound like words.

Wow... I like the blend between 2d and 3d and I a am very impressed with the quality of the animation. Great work!

I like the style and there's nice smooth flow in the animation. Trippy stuff - reminds me of my fever dreams when I was a kid. Voices are brilliant! The pineapple juice and other fluids look great. =)
Cheers,

That was awesome! I really love the subtle motions and squash and stretch these characters have. REALLY funny, it was like something from Ren and Stimpy!
Would it be possible to see some screen caps of these guys' rigs in action? Seems like they would be really cool.

before I even knew it was MAKE you maked it, the characters and animation seemed so familiar, I knew it was you.
A perfect piece of work, everything about it was the best! Love your humour and how you incorporate your own style in everything you do.
