A cartoon for the fly fisher

Cartoons? Yeah maybe when I was seven!

I came across this really interesting 3D animation entitled “Elk Hair Caddis.” Fly fishing and cartoons aside, there is definitely a unique sense of style and quality to this piece that any film geek would appreciate.  Creator Peter Smith dared to explore the limitations of 3D animation by really thinking outside the box.  Smith’s goal was to make the 3D graphics appear to look 2D. Wait… What? Why would someone want to down play 3D to 2D? In my opinion, it gives the animation an abnormal trait, a signature if you will, that appeals to the eye.  Hey, it’s fun for the kids and for the whole family. Have a look see yourself.
