11.13.07 by Widge @ 10:07 pm Most animators really get into their work. And some people take this notion to extremes. Extremes that the rest of us sit back and admire. Showing here: Yes, in case you were wondering, it's a video that's supposed to be viral in support of the Samsung G800. Stop motion appears to be the advertising animation technique of choice, I guess. Direct link for the feedreaders. Categorized as: Animation

09.29.07 by Widge @ 1:22 am What can you do with a canvas made up of 150 shirts and an intern? I know, it sounds like a very obscure dirty joke. But no. You can make a stop-motion commercial for a sandwich shop that's actually pretty sweet. Well, you could. But it's a lot easier to just watch this one from Erbert and Gerbert's Subs and Clubs, because it's already done. Direct link for the feedreaders. Make sure you go to their website where they've got a making-of video online. Categorized as: Animation

09.23.07 by Widge @ 5:27 am A nicely crazed and surreal combo of painting and stop motion animation. It's like a flipbook on acid. Categorized as: Animation

09.22.07 by Widge @ 12:24 am This 1968 film, "Storytime," simply proves that therapy has never really worked for Terry Gilliam. Nor would we want it to. Categorized as: Animation

09.16.07 by Widge @ 7:44 pm I've enjoyed Dan Goodsell's Mr. Toast ever since I first ran across the book while trawling Comic-Con for newness. I think what I like best is its simple blend of surreality and whimsy. If this were a real cartoon, I would be glad to put it in the Needcoffee.com Saturday Morning Cartoon Line-Up. It would be a nice counterpoint to Grant Morrison's SuperFriends and The Adventures of Barry Ween. Direct link for the feedreaders. Categorized as: Animation

08.26.07 by Widge @ 3:15 pm  More from Animation Treasures, because the art is just too good not to mention. First up, there's the opening pan from Disney's Cinderella. (snippet pictured). Then there's the "Pastoral Symphony" from Fantasia and another pan from Bambi. Update: Animation Treasures is no more, but there is a similar site up now at Animation Backgrounds.

08.26.07 by Widge @ 5:56 am Apparently this was accomplished with a total of 987 Polaroid photos, so I would figure this process would be called... Polaroidamation. Or something. But still, apparently no CG assistance. It's like the little brother of the "Sledgehammer" video. Um. Or something. Categorized as: Animation

08.25.07 by Widge @ 6:19 pm  Animation Treasures continues to recreate excellent animation backgrounds: here's a pair from Warner Brothers' Bugs Bunny cartoons, specifically the Chuck Jones-directed "Barbary Coast Bunny" (snippet pictured) and the Friz Freleng-directed "Knighty Knight Bugs." Excellent stuff. For more of the work regarding animation background, check out our previous post here. Update: Animation Treasures is sadly no more, but Animation Backgrounds has a number of animation backgrounds on it. You can find them here. Categorized as: Animation
