I decided to take a couple of shots from my short film, Till Death Do Us Part, and put it on Vimeo.  I wanted to see how good or bad their HD looked.

The short was rendered at 1920×820.  However, for the upload to Vimeo, it was scaled down to 1280×546.  There is some loss right there.  It still looks pretty good.  Especially when you compare it to all the crappy low res internet streaming videos out there.

Check it out for yourself here.  There is no audio.  And the shots are not together in the actual film, but are placed together here.

Till Death Do Us Part- Shot 97/99 from Rick May on Vimeo.

Something that I like about the animation itself on these shots are the eye movements.  I knocked these two out in a day.  But, I was still able to get some pretty decent movements that suggest thought.  The eyes are pretty much doing everything in these two shots.
