Watch This DIY Sci-Fi Computer-Animated Student Short
by Perry Michael Simon on January 21, 2013
It’s become commonplace for people to make their own animated shorts using just their computers, but even in an age when animation is a dime-a-dozen on YouTube and Vimeo, this one’s in another league. Kaleb Lechowski, a 22-year-old student at the Berlin Mediadesign Hochschule, made this robots-vs.-aliens science fiction short, R’ha by himself (with a little help from a sound guy and a voice actor), and Mashable reports that he’s gotten Hollywood attention for it. He’s hoping to follow in the footsteps of District 9, which was derived from another sci-fi short. And it’s impressive enough to warrant the attention.

I posted this film on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr after I read the article about it on the “Blastr” website. It’s an impressive piece of work, but I hope Kaleb remains in charge of this film and not be ruined by the “Hollywood Studio system”.
Whoa! I wish him success with his film career. This is awesome!
Would be awesome to see more!
Totally rad.
Agree with CSRengel. If this gets turned into something big I hope it maintains the spirit/heart this short inspires in just a few minutes. Loved this.
