Saturday Morning Animation – Watcha Got

My hand cramps up just watching this video for Trenchcoat knowing how much work it was. How do I know? More after the jump…

There is more after the jump…

Saturday Morning Animation – The Happiest Monster

Sorry. This is late. See what happens when I try to keep on a schedule? Anyway, enjoy The Happiest Monster from Persona’s Animation. So Cute!!

Coraline

Oooooh! This looks quite good. Quite the flashy website, too, that has a bunch of hidden stuff worth rooting around for. If you got some time, go poke around.

It is directed by  Neil Gaiman who also directed The Nightmare Before Christmas. I will be seeing this in the theater fo’ sho’.

The creators also are behind a pretty bitchin’ viral marketing campaign. They made and sent out fifty individual customized boxes filled with things from the movie and sent them to various blogs. Here are some links to a some of the lucky  bloggers and their respective posts about receiving their treasure:

emmyymme, tomopop, Darkmatters, Toycutter, Kissthelibrarian, fashion-pirahna, stainlesssteeldroppings

Pretty cool viral marketing if you ask me.

Saturday Morning Annimation – This is Where We Live

Air Art

A great video of an elegant new twist on the airship. I believe this is an actual timed race filmed at the World Air Games. Get yours and we’ll race!

Saturday Morning Animation – Das Rad (The Wheel)

New thing. Going to post some killer animation every Saturday morning. I know. “A regular post” thing. Can I do it? Probably not.

First up is the Germany’s, Das Rad, a 2003 Academy Award nominee for best short. Love it!

Metal Heart

Everything comes together beautifully in this short video shot at a monster truck rally. Yes. A monster truck rally. Trust me in the fact that it is awesome. Using time lapse photography and and tilt-shift lenses, Keith Loutit creates a toy-like world out of it. (His other time lapse/tilt-shift videos are worth viewing too.)

I don’t know exactly where this was filmed but I am sure it was on a ‘SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!!’

Why America is F*cked (Graphically at Least)

(Whole lot of appropriate swearing in the video above. Might not be safe for work if you work in a cube.)

I have been meaning to post this. I have watched it about twelve times. This is a little rant by Aaron Draplin founder and proprietor of Draplin Design Co., North America. He is a designer with a passion for industrial designs of the past and and the designs of blue collar industries. He has a great eye. He knows what has heart and what doesn’t. He has a Dachshund named Gary. He swears like a sailor and damn him if he isn’t 100% right in this video. I am thinking that all designers should make a video like this and fight the idiots who can’t see the art or intrinsic value in a professional designer and have the idea that designers just push a bunch buttons all day without skill or talent. I deal with this crap all day.

Way to go, Aaron. Drop shadows, not bombs.

Exploding Banana Face

William Lamson does some crazy beautiful stuff. I love it.

PES’ Western Spaghetti

Awesome stop-motion video from PES. I urge you to check out the rest of their videos if you have not seen them. Very creative stuff.

Captain Cumulus

Awesome.

Subliminal Advertising

Proof that subliminal advertising works…even on the douchebags who create it.
