No Robots!
Published January 20, 2012 | I think I like everything about this little student film directed by Kimberly Knoll and Yunghan Chang, from San Jose State University. The storytelling, the subdued color palette, even the music and sound FX (by Gray Grove). Nice job all around…
Black Sunrise
Published January 17, 2012 | The new year brings a new trailer for the Nick Cross feature Black Sunrise. Nick has said he has ten minutes completed and so far it looks amazing…

Two Against One!
Published January 12, 2012 | It’s a virtual guarantee that every time Philly-based Anthony Francisco Schepperd creates a piece of animation, it’s going to be more incredible than the time before. I don’t know how he keeps topping himself, but the guy is a one-man animation monster. He delivers again with stunning drawn animation on “Two Against One,” a music video he co-directed with Chris Milk for Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi. He animated the entire thing in TVPaint with some After Effects thrown in…

The Last Belle
Published January 12, 2012 | Fifteen years in the making. 35,000 hand drawn, hand-painted cels. Shot onto 35mm movie film on a rostrum camera. This is Neil Boyle’s The Last Belle, a recently completed short that will be playing on the festival circuit in 2012. If the mind-bending subway shot in the trailer reminds you of Richard Williams’s The Thief and the Cobbler, that’s no accident. Boyle worked as an assistant animator to Williams and the layout artist on Boyle’s short, Roy Naisbitt, also laid out the wild perspective scenes inThe Thief and the Cobbler. Boyle discussed the path he’s taken to making this short on his website…

“Electroshock”
Published January 6, 2012 | Electroshock feels like feature film condensed into 8-and-a-half-minutes. Directed by five students (Hugo Jackson, Pascal Chandelier, Valentin Michel, Bastien Morteleque and Elliot Maren) at France’s ESMA School of the Arts (Ecole Supérieure des Métiers Artistiques), it’s a nicely paced spoof of superhero/geek culture…

2011, Buh-Bye!
Published December 28, 2011 | JibJab’s annual year-in-review video this year cleverly ditches any technical wizardry in favour of some innovative paper puppetry. Nice work!
