Cloudy With A Chance of Awesomeness!
I'm back from Siggraph, and while I'll have a full report a bit later, I did want to mention how well-received "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs" was at the show.
When I first saw the teaser for "Cloudy," I was less than impressed. I thought the character designs were kind of bland, and felt that overall it felt more like a straight-to-DVD release.
However with each new trailer and clip I saw, I warmed up more and more to the film. By the time Siggraph rolled around, I was generally enthused, so I gladly attended a talk on "Making Mouth-Watering 3D" for the film.
By the time I left this talk, I was sold. "Cloudy" is going to be awesome.
While the original character designs are the same, seeing them in motion is what really sold me. They can get such wonderful poses out of them, and their facial rigs are top-notch. The special FX in the film are incredible (wait until you see the dam break), and... well... Mr. T is in it!
On the final day of Siggraph, we got to watch around 15-20 minutes of selected clips from the film, and that only added to my excitement. Even a co-worker who attended with me said he had never seen such an enthusiastic response from a crowd screening a film before.
So take it from me, "Cloudy" will be worth your money when it comes out. If it isn't, I'll eat a ratbird raw.
