Cat Credits

Final for Animation class.  whoo!  done!

Literal Tron Legacy

So this is really funny.  And, if you squint, it makes you notice angles and fades.  And it's funny.

Neither Quick nor a Flick

I apologize.  I have misled you.  Here you are expecting a lovely little snippet of fun and I am about to give you questions and demand answers and be quite out of hand.  Please help me.

This poor girl not only has no idea of what is appropriate day wear, she has nothing to hold.  What is in her hands? I have no idea.... your W-4 from the filing cabinet?  Yesterday's laundry?  WHAT IS SHE HOLDING?!
if  you tell me what she is holding, I promise to clean it up and make it nice.

The Illusionist

I will probably cry during this movie.  It looks charmingly sweet.

The T-Shirt War

These guys are really good (they did the one with pillows, too).

Google Ebooks

Did I ever tell you I love reading?

404 Identity

Error is creation. 

Fable III

Wait, this looks awesome.  Did Psyop do it?  Yes.  Yes they did.

BAIDIR

I don't think it needs saying that this is a visual masterpiece.

Gobelins, of course.  And stuuuuuuning. 

I have always wanted to live in a lighthouse.

A Sequel!

We watched this in class today.  Um, super funny and super true.

BBC Knowledge

Eat up Brain; we're leaving!
Why are the BBC commercials so awesome?  This is probably the bazillionth one I've posted.  I'm pretty sure there's more to this than the accent.  Which, p.s., is pretty epic.

Things to Learn

I have been looking for this video for forever!  It is JUST enough.  Beautiful.

Death Buy Lemonade

Nice ending!

Creature Comforts

This show was so cute.  The voices match the animals perfectly.  Love it!

First Crush

This is really cute.  The audio and the video go together so well.

Vincent

This is a little long, but, hey, it's Tim Burton.  Also, a little creepy.

Vegetable Suicide

How horrific.

Coffee

I don't know if this is the right title for this one, but I am pretty sure that this is an accurate representation of an over-caffeinated Frenchman.

Chevron - Sand

There are actually three of these commercials, and they are all awesome.  I wish I could see that.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Sure, it's old, but it's fantastic.

It came from the Nightosphere.

May I just say how geeked out i am for this game?

I was Darth Vader for Halloween when I was 7.

Project 2

InspirationS.  Descriptions after the page break.  After the Fantasia double post, how could I stop at one?

Fantasia 2000 Rhapsody In Blue

Pay no attention to those men talking.  Just watch the movie.  Yes, two parts.  I know.  But it is the best quality; only the best for you.

REDU

Our education system is messed up in the worst way.  Help it out.

Prologue 2010 Montage

Apparently, these guys do everything.  Ever.

Nike - Run Unleashed

Zoetropes are one of life's greatest pleasures (and quite simple to make)!

Not Related to Anything

This man makes my obsession with Star Wars look both lame and inadequate.

Pedigree Dogs ad shot 1000 frames per second

Ah, the power of slow-mo, expensive cameras, and angle editing.  You better believe this was storyboard-ed.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Fututre

Animated game as real life?  Yes, please.

SIFF 2010

ummm . . . . . YESSSSSSSS.
yes, those are movies.
yes, they are all connected.
yes, THIS IS AWESOME.

A beautiful piece of video work.  And who doesn't love dancing?

Procrastintion

This is pretty much exactly what it's like.

Procrastination from ism studios on Vimeo.

Sony Bravia

They did a whole series of commercials that were awesome.  Go look them up.  Paint and Balls.  Foam and Thread are not as cool.  This one is just the only on that relates to animation.  That Rabbit. It's plasticine. 

Paprika

This movie has been out for a while, but I would recommend it again and again and again.  It's even better if you have a way to watch some parts frame by frame.  The movement of the characters is mind blowing.

Après la pluie (After the rain)

May I just say that the French know what they're doing.

Gaz Metro

That is a lot of chalk.

Sad.  Made as a tribute to Where the Wild Things Are.

Chris Graf, everyone.  I, for one, will never look at dust clouds the same way.

NBC Peacock

Everybody loves the NBC peacock and not just because Brian Williams and his classy tie collection work for him.  This is why.

Western Spaghetti

PES is a god.

Rejected

Random and Classic.

Sketchy Duel

By the same group that did Sketchy Ice Creams (see earlier post of that title), another funny animation.

"The Music Scene" from Anthony Francisco Schepperd on Vimeo.

Clouds

This is one of my favorite all time animations.  It's inspirational, simple, and stunning. 

Pyrats

Gobelins.  Do I need to say anything else?

自主制作アニメーション『the TV show』

This is the most super amazing, seizure inducing animation I have ever seen.  It starts to loop, and then you're like, whoa, and then it's like, whoa, and then you're all, OMG, MIND BLOWN.  Don't commit to this unless you have time to watch it at least two, or three, or four, or eight times.  LOVE IT.

The Power Gap

Not only is the vector art in this engaging, it's also very informative.  Simple but effective!

Sketchy Ice Creams

This video is right on par - at least with my family! The drawing style works perfectly with the action in the story, and the minimal noise pops up at just the right parts. Check it out for some laughs!

Le Royaume

From gobelins (of course!) a beautiful piece of art and storytelling.  Notice the arrow in the crown?  Keep watching.  They'll come full circle with that!
