The computer animation is somewhat cruder than the modern movie, but not as far off as you'd think. Also interesting that they made the Silver a lot more muscular than in the recent movie.

You know it's from 1994 cause the kids all have plaid shirts tied around their waists :lol:
That CGI Silver Surfer sequence must've cost quit a bit back then, especially for a student film. I remember having to rent a Video Toaster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Toaster) to do the animations/effects for an instructional video I was making for a local hospital's Pathology department back when computer animation programs weren't readily available outside of big studios. Practically blew the whole budget on the rental.
