A Screen Capture From The Video "The Thief Of Faces" With Additional Text
Hello!

I found a very cool video on Vimeo.com recently and am posting it here for you to check out.

If you  are a fan of both 3D animation and Film Noir then you'll probably enjoy this one.

If you don't know already, Wikipedia describes Film noir as a visual style of the 1940's and 50's gritty Hollywood crime dramas, shot in black and white with high contrast lighting, that "has roots in German Expressionist cinematography...[deriving storylines] from the hard-boiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Great Depression."

The video created by students from PrimerFrame, in the Masters In Animation School in Spain, is called "El Ladrón de Caras"...or in English:  "The Thief Of Faces". 

As you can see in the screen captures from the video above...it uses 3D animation...and then a bit of fimed footage near the end to tell the story.
 
The beginning starts with a slow build up...and then gets into some nice action...and then finally tugs at the heart stings a bit at the end as well.

Oh...and there is no dialog...so the story is clear in any language.  : )

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
