A message from the director:

Last March, a small group of SCAD undergraduates registered for a class called "Group Project in 3D." The aim of the class was simple-- Take a CG short conceptual stages to final edit in ten weeks. Armed with a simple story idea and little-to-no filmmaking experience, we set out to create Pretty Dead, our only frame of reference for what was possible being equivalent graduate-level classes which limited scope to a single character and 60 second run-time.

Naturally, our film had 4 main characters and flirted with 3 minutes in duration.

After what was undoubtedly the most grueling ten weeks of my life, I am pleased to say that we have completed a draft of the film, thanks in no small part to the outstanding talent (and tireless effort) of our crew.

At the end of the quarter, we had the opportunity to screen the film in SCAD's graduation animation showcase and receive audience feedback. Over the next few months, we will continue to work on the film, tying up loose ends and polishing it for a winter festival run. This blog will document our progress, up to this point and beyond, as well as providing online followers with means to easily give feedback on our work.

I hope you enjoy the trailer, and I look forward to hearing from you,
