Real World is a 4 minute animation created by Nectarine for Film Victoria's "Four Minute Wonders" program. It's our visual response to the song 'Little Town' by Amalia Fitzgerald.

Real World uses Apple's (then) recently released Motion software to bring together plasticene models, Flash-generated 2D animation, and 3D objects. The editing was done with Final Cut Pro, and output at 1024 x 576 for digital hi-res broadcasting. An excerpt of the animation was included on Apple's 2005 NAB presentation clip.

You can view some stills, look at some of the festivals that Real World has screened at, watch the film in a gorgeous Flash format or view the official site at the ABC to get behind-the-scenes info and see it in a somewhat dated Real Player and Windows Media Player format.
