As you may know, a zoetrope is a circular device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures. Mark Simon Hewis used this technique on a human scale to a quite interesting effect to tell the story of a man’s life. The film happens fast but images last just long enough to have an effect on the viewer. I’m not sure if they did any time remapping in post on this, but if it was all in camera that is quite amazing indeed. The use of The Books driving sound collages for parts of the score only increases it’s effect.

I recently saw this short film by Tibor Banoczki in London and was quite amazed with the style and technique. It’s a beautiful blend of hand drawn animation in what seems like an after effects world. It’s quite compelling, and though I’ve tried to find it online, I believe it is circulating the film festivals now, so this short clip was all I could find. Be on the lookout for it in the next few months though…

I remember how much I loved this short by Kwok Fung Lam the first time I saw it a couple years ago. Glad to see it has resurfaced online. Wonderfully simple characters, story and animation.

According to a study by the American Management Association, U.S. workers spend an average of 1 hour and 47 minutes per day dealing with email. Eight percent spent more than four hours a day. If that time was spent looking up into the sky and spinning around, perhaps we would be more productive as a planet.

William Kentridge is the brilliant South African born artist known for his animated films involving drawing and erasing a single drawing over a short period of time. A master of this method, a solid impression im sure to this animated film making its rounds online by the artist Blu.

This short film called Tuesday by the talented Asa Arnehed draws you in with it’s subtle beginning. It gives you room to breath and pay attention to the little details of an average Tuesday morning.

Jetpacks. During World War II the germans developed a jet pack called the Himmelstürmer. It allowed a pilot to take giant jumps up to 180 feet in the air and would allow them to cross bridgeless waters, minefields, and barbed wire obstacles. I think that would be pretty nice to have at some point.

This has made a splash this year for good reason. It’s a very smart and sad interpretation of the popular Radiohead tune.

This is one of the most amazing video works i have seen in a while. It’s an animated epic of The Dirty Projectors entire The Getty Address album. Created by James Sumner in 2006. The themes are rich and the animation is fantastic. A perfect companion to the music, and a great example of how effective it can be to create visuals for an entire album rather than just one song.
Watch the entire thing here.
