Logorama: Use Maya Animation Software to Create an Oscar Nom
Have you heard of Logorama? If you’re trying to win the office Oscar pool, you might want to read up.
It’s an animated short that pokes fun at a world consumed with branding. Complete. And total. Corporate. Satire. All packed in a hilarious 16-minute short film! Yeah, there’s somewhere around 2500 logos in there… Here’s the trailer:
Logorama is one of the top-runners for the Academy Awards’ animated short films category this Sunday. It also played at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. What’s this got to do with software and tech? Might be stretching it a little, but I’ll just quote the LA Times with this quick blurb from their interview with Ludovic Houplain, one of the filmmakers:
What software did you use to create the movie?
Working with Mikros Image, the post-production company that made the film, we worked on the software called “Maya,” combined with rotoscoping. For that, we filmed ourselves, as well as my son Anatole who play the roles of Big Boy and Haribo.













Seriously. Who owns, personally owns, all the software they need?Nevermind want. No one does. No one I know at least. Adobe, Microsoft, Corel all rock. Of course. They’re great. But they might as well be Pretty Pony Design Software, as far as my home computer endeavors are concerned.
