BATPEZ!!!

I have vivid memories of hand-me-down half-broken toys and a lots of imagination. I remember having a couple PEZ dispensers and those were my action figures. In the early 2000's I worked a corporate desk job as a support technician. The internet was still new, and there wasn't much to do at my desk when nothing in the corporation was broken. I stumbled across this online animation website called 16color. Oh wow. It was amazing. You could animate in a 100 x 200 pixel window in full 16 colors of spectral goodness! The software to animate was online, and you'd get a total of about 300 frames to animate. So you could make these incredibly simple pixelated cartoons, which you'd upload to a blog and share with the world to see. I made a 5 second film about 2 pez dispensers fighting with their exploding candy, which was the direct inspiration for this short cartoon. BATPEZ was made in Maya. All the audio is my creation, except the canned music. It was a fun cartoon to make and my first serious attempt at animating in 3D.
