Spear Collective

For the last six months or so, our U.K. based friend Tom Judd – who’s no stranger to this site, and also a member of the Spear Collective – has been working on this kick ass animation called “Wheel Time.” It’s somewhat of a historic project for young Tom, because it marks the end of his undergraduate education– this summer he’s leaving Man Met University for London to begin a two year Master’s program in animation at the Royal College of Art. As great as this short animated film is, I’m sure we’ll all use it as a benchmark by which to gauge his animation progress from here on out; no pressure, Tom! The YouTube version you see here has slightly lower sound and sync qualities than the one on his website, so I recommend viewing the latter. On a related note, Tom has also re-worked the look of his site a bit with a fresh layout and some new work, so be sure to check that out as well.
