Mongol - the fall, fall, fall and rise of Ghengis Khan

I’d been looking forward to this film for weeks – in fact it was the deciding factor for me to stay in New Zealand for the Auckland International Film Festival – and I wasn’t disappointed. The scenery was as stunning as expected – vast plains and simple nomadic settlements framed by dusky...

In Widescreen!

Here is my first Flash assignment in a more completed form. The critique for this is on Monday, so I don't know how much more time I will get to work on it. The purpose of this assignment is to produce a segment of animation that uses layout and background construction, character animation using a...

WALL-E

This is a Pixar film so it is certain to make gobs and gobs of money. It probably should too because it is loads better than pretty much any other animated movie out since the last Pixar film. There are some pretty weird messages in the film though. The storyline of the film is that humans polluted...

I can imagine Two Jags calling Brown a ‘Jock’

Another brilliant Eggtoon from Andy Wyatt: this time about Labour’s politics during the Blair era, in the style of South Park. I think it’s funnier than the Windsors one I posted earlier tonight, though the death of Robin Cook in the cartoon might be considered bad taste given that the man has...

By appointment

My colleague Jen Hamilton and I were browsing YouTube after working on a site for a client, and stumbled across a bit of royal humour. What if the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburgs, I mean, the Mountbatten-Windsors, were a Simpsons-style cartoon (featuring Mohammed al-Fayed and the Rt Hon...

Persepolis - a powerful animated parody

This film came highly recommended by a friend, and although animation doesn’t usually attract me I went along. And by God, I’m glad I did. Persepolis is the autobiographical account of the Iranian born Marjane Satrapi; a tale of ordinary growing pains and young adulthood set against a...

Muto - Wall painted animation

Saw this the other day. Wow. This guy is amazing. It does kind of boggle the mind when you think of the amount of time that this probably took.

Animation as Communication

Shadow of the Colossus was a special game, with many wonderful features, too numerous to go into here. If there is one thing that SotC does right, and arguably better than any other game, it's animation. Animations are the glue that bind video games into cohesive wholes: we notice it when it isn't...

awesome, inspiring video.

This totally made me smile!
