Videos for thought

I had way too much coffee today and my hands got the jitters. But it also gave me an idea for how I want this cheetah to move. I want his body to be so filled with energy after consuming the drink that his very core will seem to tremble with uncontainable power. His polygons with shift and displace and even fragment and tear apart when approaching high speeds.

I know its a stretch to imagine this. But please have a look at these videos to see what I mean.

I hope to be able to post some form of rendering of how I expect all this to translate soon.
Wish me luck!

So I just slapped this one together hastily. Its not even a render but a screen grab as you all can tell. But I wanted something out asap.









Oh and this final video is just awesome! I think I figuratively wet myself watching...pls enjoy!

  1. ok i saw this after i saw the black cat, and im totally down with this, this is a huge plus ! i love the idea, can we do the idea justice?
    i couldnt watch any of the videos cause im in india on the crappiest broadband ever, so can we use with idea with the black cat one? like the cracks show in his black face and then he 'transforms' into yellow and transitions back to black cat with yellow lines? i like this, very cool

    Love this idea! Sounds quite new to me! I can totally imagine it in my head! :D
    Indeed, cheetahs are so famous for their high speed; it's like their signature. So it'd be fantastic if you could highlight that!
