SHOWREEL:
Current work from The Animaticus Foundation, displaying the emergent talents and the imaginative vision of this exciting new studio movement. Animated GIFFs* offer tantalizing teasers from the Foundation's first two productions... 'Endangered Species' and 'Fire Gods'.
* Note: Some computers may have trouble playing animated GIFF files. If these files do not play automatically, trying clearing the 'cache' on your browser ('Tools/Internet Options/Temporary Internet Files/Delete Files' for Internet Explorer) then 'Refresh' this page. If that doesn't work, please be patient... we will build a Flash version one day so everyone can view our animation!
