Funny...
Some foul language, but it's in German with subtitles.
Watch at your own risk.

Little People

I am pretty sure this guy is a genius.
It's like theater, plus animation, plus street art.

He even sells images of his street art now
and has a book of his images for sale.

The Inner City Snail Project is pretty funny too.

Universal Studio Promotion Film By Matt and Trey

I am not so sure Universal knew what they were paying for?
But, its really funny!

The short film Trey Parker and Matt Stone made for Universal Studio's takeover of Seagrams (wine coolers). Has many guest appearances, like Demi Moore, Sylvester Stallone, and Stephen Spielberg.

What is Art?

So awesome...I put it on BOTH my blogs.

Various Americans are interviewed about art.
Animated by Aardman.

John Kascht - Caricatures

This guy is just so awesome...I have no words. All of his observations are the same thing animators look at before making a character move and emote. Sorry bout the ads - it's worth the wait. Youtube has version of these but you cannot embed them.

John Kascht is an amazing talent.

Big Buck Bunny

Big Buck Bunny

Very Pretty, first shot is amazing.
This is a great little short, it made ma laugh, it made me whimper a bit...

The walk cycles and movement is really well done in this little film. I wrote a little article on the Thinking Animation website about leads in a walk and how it changes the mindset, attitude and personality of your characters. These guys have mastered "the lead" with all of their characters.

Big Buck Bunny tells the story of a giant rabbit with a heart bigger than himself. When one sunny day three rodents rudely harass him, something snaps... and the rabbit ain't no bunny anymore! In the typical cartoon tradition he prepares the nasty rodents a comical revenge.

Congrats to the team!

How it started

As a follow-up to the successful project Orange’s “Elephants Dream”, the Blender Foundation initiated another open movie project. Again a small team (7) of the best 3D artists and developers in the Blender community have been invited to come together to work in Amsterdam from October 2007 until April 2008 on completing a short 3D animation movie. The team members will get a great studio facility and housing in Amsterdam, all travel costs reimbursed, and a fee sufficient to cover all expenses during the period.

The creative concept of “Peach” was completely different as for “Orange”. This time it is “funny and furry”!

The Blender Foundation and Blender community have been the main financiers for Peach. As for the previous open movie, a pre-sale campaign to purchase the DVD set in advance will be organized.

Additional support from sponsors and subsidy funds has been realized as well.

Peach also was the first Open Project hosted by the new Blender Institute in Amsterdam. This will make the project more independent, without much involvement of production partners, and also will ensure continuity.

Adventures of Jeffery

This is just plain silly to the point of ridiculous,
but it also got a giggle out of me.
If nudity offends - Don't watch.

The Uncanny Valley explained...

OMG - so funny!

For anyone who may have missed 30 Rock last week, here's the uncanny valley better articulated with the kind of references we can all understand (porn and Star Wars).

Dr. Steel - Beauty and Robots!

I have posted about Doctor Steel here before,
but I just had to again...

I heard a rumor that Dr. Steel actually worked for one of those BIG animation studios once. I wouldn't doubt it. Dr. Steel is like shaking a little Walt Disney, A little Steam Punk, A little Wylie Coyote and a just little bit of extra hot sauce together and shaking it up. Fantastic!

Igor the Movie

This made me giggle like a little girl
and besides I have had a crush on John Cusack
since Say Anything.

And guess what?
The main character is a human!

Not a talking animal...
or robot...
or monster...
a stylized CG human,
with what looks like an interesting quest!

To DREAM BIG!

Great designs, looks like a funny story
and decent animation!!!
People better watch out for Sparx Animation Studios
and the Weinsteins!
