Jared and I have attempted to create the action-packed look and feel of Mission Impossible, using only a nail, 2 ballons, and some crappy animation :) We rendered it in Maya 3.0 using something like 10, 1.3Ghz Athalon computers down in the basement graphics lab. To amuse ourselves while we waited for the rendering to finish we decided to create a simple soundtrack for the animation. Using only one pair of headphone (left earpeice can be used as a microphone) and Microsoft Sound Recorder, we timed out all of the sound effects into a single wave file, crossed out fingers and applied it to the movie. Considering the following, I think it turned out pretty good.
