Freeze the time with... Ratrix Hero!

Nice movements, nice punchs, kicks and martial arts animations, Ratrix is a parodie of the famous and well-known trilogy movies The Matrix (Reload and Revolutions) by the Wachowsky brothers. Neo is not Keanu Reeves, is Rat, the hero, fighting against the cat-agents, and here, he has no help and friends (there is no Morpheo or Trinity), but he tried to help an orange strange bird who wants to save her babies (eggs). Awesome comedy in incredible 3D to enjoy and get some fun. Now, it's in Animacam, and the creators also present their new film release in the official trailer. The second part of Ratrix: Kaydara...

Last films in Animacam: Corte eléctrico

René es un limpiavidrios dispuesto a comenzar su jornada de trabajo. Es el día de asear la fachada del edificio OLIMPO ubicado en Chapinero, uno de los barrios mas antiguos de Bogotá, la capital de Colombia. Las calles de este populoso sector albergan el caos de una gran ciudad suramericana donde conviven diversas maneras de sobrevivir, unas mas aceptadas que otras. El interior de los edificios y las calles han presenciado durante años todo tipo de historias y secretos....

Desde la azotea del Olimpo, René se empieza a descolgar en su arnés, realizando hábilmente su labor de limpieza mientras disfruta del éxito musical de su cantante pop favorita, Lentejuela. Su despreocupación le impide sospechar lo que sucede detrás de estas ventanas sucias; su presencia va quebrantando la privacidad de los habitantes del OLIMPO que vigilan paranoicamente todos sus movimientos. Cada uno tiene su propia historia, cada uno tiene algo que ocultar.

Esta es la historia de Corte eléctrico en la que personas de toda clase, condición y oficio se involucran y entremezclan en un sinfín de coincidencias y casualidades, en las que, el protagonismo se lo lleva siempre el corte de pelo y el aseo y estilo de cada uno. La combinación de técnicas de 2D y 3D por ordenador y rotoscopia, dotan a los escenarios de una ubicación virtual casi real y muestran a los personajes con una sencillez y soltura magistral. En palabras de la autora, el film refleja una realidad "grotesta, sin maquillaje".
Dirigidida por María Arteaga y coproducida por Impala y Roboto (2D y 3D respectivamente), Corte eléctrico ha estado presente en multitud de festivales como el SICAF en Corea y Annecy en Francia, unos de los más prestigiosos y ahora, está presente con nosotros en Animacam
