STUN.

I've gotten pretty into Eskmo's stuff recently, so here's an interesting vid. I need to get on doing some kaleidoscope images / patterns. Sick. Video genius is Cyriak.

Also, not connected, but last night I finally went and saw TRON: Legacy at the cinema. SO worth it! Really visually stunning, and as someone who doesn't normally like this whole 3-D farce, I was genuinely impressed that they actually used the 3-D technology to enhance the visuals, rather than just shoving things in your face. So beautiful. Watch it. Now. In 3-D.

EXTRACT? I WANT IT ALL!

Julia Pott, you've done it again...made me really flippin' jealous of your beautiful work! This is just a little clip from The Decemberists lovely 'Here Come The Waves' DVD. I WANT THIS NOWWWWW!

I LOVES IT

I can't explain how much i love this advert. It's seriously one of my faves on the telly at the minute. Just really really lovely. YUM.

HOW FANTASTIC!

I saw this masterpiece at the cinema last night, and BOY was it even better than i'd imagined! Seriously beautiful in every way, and very clearly the work of Wes Anderson. LOVE IT. Definitely Fantastic, Mr Fox.

IMAGINE THAT

ALBERT & PATRICIA

I've been meaning to put this up here for ages now, but here it is...the first stop motion animation i did at uni! It was for the brief 'Bring an Object to Life'. It's a bit twee but that's how i like it!

Soundtracked by Devendra Banhart - 'The Body Breaks'

TRISTAN THE TIGER

I finally got my tiger animation uploaded! Yay! I did it last term, and I'm very jealous that the other half of my class are doing it this term and I have to do silly CAD. Oh well, turns out I'm actually liking my photoshop shizzle so it's not all bad.

I soundtracked my animation to Patrick Wolf's 'Tristan', and made the tiger puppet and set from scratch. I LOVED IT.

CHASING LIMBS

Yes, i'm posting yet MORE animations. Bare with me though, because these are truly awesome...i promise! The first is a music video for the song 'Clementine' by Washington which has some really lovely print work combined with a cat chasing a severed limb. What more do you want!?

The one below was discovered via Aneek, and i loved it so much i had to share it too! My favourite bit is after 3 minutes. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

TASTY ANIMATIONS

I haven't blogged for a while now since I've been busy getting back into the uni swing of things, and settling back into Leicester and our new house.

I've just started the animation part of my course, and I'm absolutely LOVING it! These are a few little lovely animations which make me jealous. because they are so beautiful to watch. The first is 'Taller Than Trees' by Joseph Mann, and the second is 'My First Crush' by Julia Pott, the third is the BBC's advert for the 2008 Olympics by Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn. (Hence why the music is so lush!) Finally the last one is 'City Paradise' by Gaelle Denis (featuring Joanna Newsom's 'Peach, Plum, Pear') BEAUtiful.

PERSEPOLIS

I went to see this awesome animated film the other day at the Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle. It's directed by Marjane Satrapi and is the story of a girl growing up in the Islamic revolution in Iran. It is visually beautiful and I really really recommend everyone goes to see it! Truly stunning.
