M a g n u s !

Wondering around on the internet, as usual, I found this incredible video in CG called 'Magnus'. The video itself didn't tell me much of what is it about (and the description just says "An old train travels through landscapes, to get to an ancient city") , as if it didn't have a story but after watching it I couldn't help feeling the need to watch it again. The graphics are incredibly detailed and well done. All the textures and the motion of the fluids where perfectly done. It was a brilliant composition! (ok...here's the full CG film)

It wasn't hard to track down the people who did it, and it was even more impressive finding out that it was made by 3 students of a french university (Université Paris Arts et technologies de L'image).
The CG was made by Dos Santos Nelson, Meradi Omar and Music by Rey Phillipe. They did an impressive piece of art. No doubt they're going to have an impressive CV after this.

At the moment, I'm not pretty sure what i want to focus on (animation or games), but what ever it is, I'll work really hard to be as impressive as this three guys.

And just to finish this up, take a look at the making of Magnus. I believe this proofs the importance of a good composition:
