Walt Whitman as designed for cel animation by Mitchell Santine Gould, curator of LeavesofGrass.Org. I've developed techniques which allow me to generate cel shading in Reallusion's iClone. This is a simple screentest for a 4.5-minute short based upon Whitman's poem, "This Beginning of Me." The poem poses the question: "after assassination, then what?" My film will show Whitman in what I believe was his "I have been to the mountaintop" moment.
