Animation Monday, Canada

Posted in Animation Monday, You Tube, animated short, animation, animation art, animation background art, tagged , on April 7, 2008 | No Comments »

An inspired short from Canada. You Tube gives us a chance to see so much. When you consider that even with cable TV, you get material that is for the most part, complient with a bigger agenda (improve ratings against such-and-such network) or it has to be family oriented, or it’s material an agent can [...]

This is too good not to post. The writing of Howard Zinn, the voice of Viggo Mortensen and the wonderful art by Mike Konopacki. And while you are at it, check out the new book, A people’s History of American Empire.
Way to go Mike! Can’t wait for my copy to arrive.

I finally finished this animated short-short. It took me forever.I think I had the sound track done a year ago. Just been too busy to get all the pieces together. As with every project, I think it could be better, but at some point I need to execute it and move on. I’d like to [...]

Keyframe is a good resource for all things animation. It features a list of online shorts, TV series, even direct to video animated releases. The Coming Soon section is helpful to see what animated features are floating around out there. The usual mix of ‘can’t wait to see’ and titles that no one is sure [...]

Animation Monday can’t get much better than this.
A clip on Youtube from the amazing Triplets of Belleville. One of my favorite sequences. The ship crossing the ocean as the grandmother follows behind.

A series of clips from Disney films pulled together by someone for their animation class. It collects their favorite clips from 1920 - 1960. It includes a snip from Elmar Elephant (1936) which I have had a hard time finding anywhere. It’s been on Youtube for 2 years, but I just found it. Man…Some [...]

A link to some short animations from Serge Bloch. He is also an illustrator, one of my favorite illustrators, and you can see his work here. Beautiful line work, funny, inspirational. His style reminds me of another of my all time favorites Javier Mariscal.
This collection of animation uses his style. I’m not sure if [...]
