Today's Inspiration: The Death of an Insect

I have been doing a bit of moth/butterfly research for an upcoming project. I came across this incredible work by the Finnish animation team of Hannes Vartiainen & Pekka Veikkolainen. I just had to share it.

This is experimental animation at it's best. This film was created with stop motion, 3D modeling and CT Scans. You can check out more of their work here.

Enjoy!

Happy Friday! Today's inspiration...

Just a little hello and I wanted to share this lovely little video I found for the band Hem. The Animation was created by the super talented Greg Lytle and Jordan Bruner. The video is so sweet and is very reminiscent of San Francisco or Brooklyn, don't you think? Isn't it amazing what they did  with different textures?

On another note, I'm sorry I've been so quiet on the bog lately. There is much new stuff in the works. I'll tell you about all ASAP. Until then, enjoy.

Happy Friday!

I just wanted to share this lovely animation by Minkyu Lee that I found on the Drawn Blog today.



Beautifully done, don't you think?

"Adam and Dog" is nominated for an animation Oscar this year! Here's to it winning.

Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I sure did. It is going to be a very busy week for me. I am trying to get my Etsy shop open for business. Here's to loads of productivity!

I did allow myself a bit of a break though, where I found this lovely and creepily wonderful animation I found by Rodrigo Blaas. Hope you enjoy it.

I randomly found this video on line and it just floored me. It is done by the incredibly talented duo Alasdair Brotherston and Jock Mooney. I love all the drawings and layers of so many things going on at once. It must have been so hard to get this going just right. I imagine many takes, and a lot of frustration. But it is beautifully. Good work guys.

Check out more of their work at AlasdairandJock.com.

animation love...

Who can not fall in love with really amazing animation. It must of course, blow your mind artistically, make you laugh or make you think. Sometimes the artist just goes in and grabs at your heart. I think these do all of the above.

Here are a few that I found that I just loved:

I'd like to thank the website "Drawn" for introducing me to such wonderful and quirky artists. I highly recommend you checking out their new & improved site.

Any animators that are blowing your mind? Tell me about. I love finding new things. The weirder the better.

Beautiful Animation...Descendants

After spending the last couple of weekends in the woods, I really appreciate this wonderful animation, Descendants, I came across on ImageMakers. I love the emotions really good story can bring up. Enjoy. And thank you, Heiko Van der Scherm & Patrick S. Cunningham for creating it. I love the creepyness of it.  More about the making of it here.
