Short film: Looters
Looters is a short film inspired by Skyrim. I suspect many tabletop gamers will recognise the chaotic evil that sometimes take a hold of dice when it comes to random loot tables, though. The VFX here are the work of Daniel Vink, one of the Fury Fingers team who work along side the director/writer Andrew […]

This charming short project sprang from the mind of Alkanoids. 7 illustrators and 7 animators had just 2 days to get the job done. That’s why each of the segments had their own style. Despite how different […]
Short film: The Rush
A tribute to StarCraft from Freddie Wong and Rocket Jump. The name of the piece comes from “Zerg Rush”. Google it. The Rush is often an effective tactic in Starcraft and I suspect that’s true of how it’s deployed here as well. Rush over to this teleport link and swarm your way to a random […]
