Bringing Out Baby

Here Lt. Razacks Roughnecks have to find, capture and transport a baby plasma bug - if it doesn't kill them first.

Some things to watch for in this clip:

* The Cinematic style in the lighting. Instead of artificial lighting, the animators at Foundation Imaging used motivated or practical lighting, such as the illumination from the soldiers suits, their flashlights, and the plasma bug.

* The natural movement of the characters (particularly when running or shooting) shows off the elaborate motion control input into the animation.
