SSSEEN!

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.

If you’re a fan of Justice, then no doubt you’ve already seen this. For the rest of you, here’s the video for Justice’s “DVNO”, a really nice motion graphic using popular titles and putting their own spin on it.

Watch this to see the title designs that the video was inspired from.

A highly catchy and amusing rendition of internet culture, all in just under 3 minutes!

A very simple trick, involving depth perception and a lot of time. Also be sure to check out The Illusion of Peace if this kind of stuff interests you.

An amusing one-shot advertisement for Old Spice. Hilarity aside it does have some pretty smooth transitions between scenes.

If you’ve been following this blog, or even the internet lately you’ll have heard of “Bad Apple”, but this stop motion version of it, with the frames individually carved into apples sets a whole new standard. Enjoy!

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.
