Against the Odds
written by Ryan Foss

These are a few sample images and videos of the project currently being pursued by Movie Makers.

If your interested in working on a collaborative 3d animated movies or would like to help in anyway (on this project or others), please contact me. Movie Makers is a collaborate group of 3D animators, modelers, and artists who pursue the production, construction, and method discussion of short animated films.

Against the Odds is a sci-fi based short animated movie. I estimate its length when completed will be somewhere between 3 and 5 minutes long. Currently, the first few scenes are in process, and a number of the models are completed.

I know what most people think when they see yet another spaceship model, however I like to think that the story goes beyond a simple space dogfight animation. But a "space" themed animation is simple enough for a small group of novice animators to collaborate on. We hope to expand our skills, teach each other, and make video. I'm striving for a high quality movie.

The following images and animations were produced by Ryan Foss for the Against the Odds short animated film.
