Hi there,

cool stuff indeed and very well done professional work.

A pun in my eyes. POV was only used to render all these animations. The
characters (the alien in the park or this windmill-monster) were created using
professional software (ZBrush and other stuff as Holger Carsten admitted on his
new website). He then recorded some little movies on a day with an overcast sky
with his camcorder to avoid sharp shadows and than placed his robots before this
backgrounds and rendered the scenes in POV. Whatever his reasons was to do that,
I don't know, having all this professional stuff at hand. Look at the movies:
the alien in the park gives only very small shadows, the windmill-monster in the
backyard gives none. As cannot be expected by placing a 3d-figure in front of a
movie - may the camera-position estimated as well as possible by this
voodoo-software. This whole thing is very well done, but POV is merely a random
feature in this, he could have used ervery other software at his hand. Why he
used POV and placed this link here is unkonwon.

Regards,
Michael
