This beautiful work of animation is done by a fellow named Nelson Boles. I couldn't find out too much about this film, such as what was used to animate it, or even much info on Nelson himself, other than he was/is a student at Calarts.

You can also check out his Vimeo profile HERE,

and some more of his animation on Youtube.

I just posted this video up on CGHub's Recent Articles for everyone to see, but I loved it so much I had to post it on my blog as well. So if you frequent the Hub, sorry for the double posting. And if anyone knows more about Nelson, feel free to fill me in on this talented little fellow.

    Dude! You have a great style! I was wondering if you ever have done a Darth Vader? I am creating a tribute book to George Lucas called "100 Ways to the Darkside" where I am having 100 hand picked artist create Darth Vader. I would love one for the book in your style. Please let me know if your interested!

    Thanks a million

    That's my classmate! He's an amazing animator and artist. I don't think he has a blog (that I know of) but remember his name, because he's already on the road to success!
