Beautiful Animation on Life and Death
The Boundaries of Life and Death
by Saskia Kretzschmann
Hello folks! Hope all is well with each of you. Sorry for my absence, but I've had a lot of Halloween stuff to do, especially with this past weekend's trip to the Canadian Haunted Attractions Conference, and some prop building projects I'll share with you soon.
In the meantime, here's a very short but gorgeous piece of animation by Saskia Kretzschmann that you simply must see. Saskia's use of only solid black and white, (no gray gradients) is an extremely challenging way to do animation, because at every moment composition is vitally important, and yet she seems to have mastered the technique. I'll let her describe it herself after sharing the quote that inspited her.
The Stars from Atacama
Atacama Starry Nights: Episode I
by Babak Tafreshi and Christoph Malin
This brilliant little film accomplishes something unique. Unlike any of the other astronomy time-lapse videos which have been flooding the internet of late, which simply inspire you with a gorgeous look at the heavens, this one will alter your vacation plans.
Meet Buck: a fun and stylishly animated short
Meet Buck
by TeamCerf
Here's a great little short that uses every smidgen of it's run time to entertain you. Chock full of smiles, thrills, and gorgeous animation, Meet Buck is sure to be the cutest thing you'll see today. From beginning to end it certainly had me grinning. (Wait for the 'almost' kiss)
Lumaajuuq: A dark and beautiful short film
Sorry for the week-long hiatus folks. I've been unbelievably busy... believe me! Here's something cool to watch until I find to time to write another proper article. Stay tuned!
While searching for some style references for an upcoming project, I decided to check out the latest from one of my favourite animators: Daniel Gies. Daniel is an extremely talented artist, and his portfolio is filled with just the sorts of projects I'd love to do more of. What's inspiring is that like me, (and unlike many animators who work with characters) Daniel is an After Effects guy! See my previous post on his work here.
Animating another world
Globosome FMX Trailer
by Sascha Geddert
It's been awhile since I've featured some motion graphics on this site. I suppose that's because I'm trying as hard as heck to keep the subject matter within a more constrained range of topics, lest my readers begin to wonder if I'm suffering from some severe version of attention deficit disorder.
The Holy Chicken of Life & Music
The Holy Chicken of Life & Music
Directed by: Christos Lefakis, Yannis Konstantinidis
Sometimes you struggle coming up with the title of a blog post, especially when you're featuring a piece of content that already has one. You usually don't want to reuse the same title, but rather choose something complementary to it; a heading that tells the story of what is to be seen, and with the power to draw in readers.
Pretty Much the Most Brilliant Short Film Ever
The Backwater Gospel
Directed by Bo Mathorne
I know I'm guilty of hyperbole from time to time. "The best" this, or "the greatest" that. It's actually intentional - calling something "the best" is really just a fun way to communicate my enthusiasm, usually employed hot off the heels of experiencing the thing I'm enthusiastic about. I figure, why hide my excitement with anything other than hyperbole, you know?
Strangeness in Space
The Astronomer's Dream
by Malcolm Sutherland
One thing I'm always reluctant to share with you folks is anything too long, or too strange.
I find people have wildly varying degrees of patience for abstract and weird artistic explorations; and as we all know, the internet only serves to drive our collective attention span for everything even lower.* While my personal threshold for artsy fartsy peculiarity is on the high side, I understand that for many this is not the case.
Love and Peril - In Space!
Danger Planet
by Justin Burks
Ah, the student animation project. What an endless source of wonder and creativity. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with Danger Planet, a sweet but fun short film that can't help but recall the sensibilities of WALL-E. (My favourite Pixar turn to date, in case you're wondering)
