Check out this awesome stop motion video celebrating the upcoming revival of Capcom’s classic games on XBL and the Playstation Store.

Two of my favorite characters from the Meth Minute. A true college classic.

I’m in a weird place!

This is an animated short up for an Oscar this year that’s done almost entirely with Corporate logos, with a bit of a weird Pulp Fiction-type flair.

Check it out.

Watch this.

It’s from the animated film Allegro Non Troppo by Italian animator Bruno Bozzetto.

One could call Allegro a parody of Disney’s Fantasia at first glance, but I see it more as another attempt at doing what Fantasia attempted to do; create beautiful animated works to go along with classical pieces of music.

This section from Allegro is based off the piece Valse Triste (Sad Waltz) from the play Kuolema.

(Just like Fantasia, there are live-action interludes, but I’d argue that Allegro’s interludes are more comedic on purpose, as it seeks to poke fun at Fantasia).

I thought this animation was great.

From the author:

This is the final piece for my AS art course, a flipbook made entirely out of biro pens. It’s something like 2100 pages long, and about 50 jotter books. I’d say I worked on and off it for roughly 3 weeks.

Song is French Cancan by Jaques Offenbach.

Additional sounds credited to Valve, specifically from their game Team Fortress 2.

Other stuff is from the 300 trailer and O Little Town of Bethlehem.

This reminds me a whole bunch of Fantastic Planet.

Saw this when it was played on This American Life – Live!, but never knew it was put up on Vimeo.

I love that Andrew Bird song that the short is accompanied by.

And Chris Ware just rocks ass on all levels.

Ohhhhhhhhh shittttttttttttttttt.

(This one is for you, Fil).

This is a really cool video of someone playing around with dynamic furs and a simple walking animation. I can’t wait until this is able to be rendered in real time. For now though, we have a nice video to enjoy. Thanks to Chris Cascioli for showing me this.

JibJab rolls out another impressive short:

Bravo, Harmonix.
