Animation – 1st Person Goomba
This concept has been touched on a few times in the gaming community but this animation takes the cake. Follow the life of a Goomba through his childhood and marriage all the way to that fated day he meets the … Continue reading
Adorable – Dumb Ways to Die
Apparently this ad comes from Australia for Metro Trains Melbourne and the song is the handiwork of Tangerine Kitty. It’s like if you took away the shock value of Happy Tree Friends and just made it adorable. And it’s even … Continue reading
Animation – Digital Zelda
A single-take digital animation paying homage to the Hero of Time Link and his favorite pastime, saving Zelda. Even though this is designed on mostly Macs, it’s still pretty spiffy.
Animation – Shanghai Batman
Holy crap. It’s Batman set in Champloo’s setting with animation like Avatar and Afro Samurai. How does something this awesome exist and how is Cartoon Network responsible?
Stop Motion – Fresh Guacamole
Apparently Showtime does shorts? This wonderful stop-motion short takes every day items (grenades are definitely for every day use) and creates a deceptively delicious looking guacamole.
3D – Loom
Spiders are creepy to me. 3D in-your-face terrifying spiders are even worse. It gets kind of abstract toward the end but this video is not for anyone who is already scared of arachnids. Loom from Polynoid on Vimeo.
Mash Up – Portal 2 “This is Aperture”
You know what Portal 2 was missing? A good Nightmare before Christmas crossover. This gives me chills and also incentive to go play Portal 2 again.
Animation – Rome “Two Against One”
What happens when you mix Danger Mouse, Jack White, Norah Jones and an awesome animation? You get Rome’s “Two Against One”. I loved this video. Rome – Two Against One from Chris Milk on Vimeo.
Tasty Jams – Kalle Mattson “Thick as Thieves”
Awesome stop-motion music video that goes through time. Really good stuff.
Animation – TiJi
A French animation about how animals were given color and why pandas are black and white.
Short Film – Insane Office Escape
This video feels very heavily inspired by Mirror’s Edge. Really good production quality in this too. If you can’t tell by the title, it’s a short film about a man escaping an office with something important.
Too Much Time – Rainbow Poo-san Sing-a-long
I don’t get the point of this. Apparently poo needed a mascot and it needed to be multi-colored. Umm…
Animation – Trains-formers
Nathan shared this wonderful animation with me. What happens when you mix Thomas the Train with Transformers? Something way better than the new Transformers movies.
