“Onward” + Nike = Good stuff
Here’s a great animation done for Nike by James Jarvis. Simple, engaging and a great story-telling example.
Just when you thought you’d seen it all. A short animated clip by Weebl.
A very nice short animation by the studio “Three Legged Legs”, check out more cool stuff on their site
The previous post of Pas reminded me that Justice also released this really cool video with motion graphics on t-shirts for the song D.A.N.C.E.. This video made by the French duo Jonas & François has been nomitated for “Video of the Year” by MTV in 2007, so you probably have seen it before. They’ve done a similar video with LP covers which is the one above, which is a teaser for the ED Banger Vol. 2.
The duo has done many music videos like Madonna’s 4 Minutes, but it seems like the ones using animations are the best ones. The one above is the music video for Kavinsky’s Testarossa Autodrive.
As with their other videos, here’s another one that’s recognizable for its animation, rotoscoping and typography: Flair’s Better than Prince. If anybody knows the official page for Jonas & François please post the link – it’s seems like my Googling skills are a bit off today.
A mesmerizing short animation that follows the first person view of a boy who jumps across the world, by Osamu Tezuka of Astro Boy fame. The short won the Grand Prize at the 1984 Zagreb World Festival of Animated Films.
For some reason it feels rare now to see animation that has a comic-like hand-drawn feel to it. Made by Patrick Smith of Blend Films.
Another one of his shorts with some surreal segments in it. The hands are a bit too large, but still nice nevertheless. I wonder if he had the music especially made for his animations or just ripped from somewhere.
A short teaser for Cartoon Saloon’s upcoming feature, the same studio responsible for Oscar nominated Secret of Kells. Certainly something not to be missed for fans of animation.
