How To Make Noise by Bryn Chainey.

Great throwback style to this short animation called Black Thin King, by Birdo Studio. Diggin’ the music as well!

Intervelometer, by Team DAK (Deniz Merdanogullari, Aparna Kapur and Kunal Sen) won ‘Best Picture’ at the 2nd Annual Trick 17 Stop Motion Animation Contest where 18 teams had 52 hours to make a 1-3 minute film. I also have to mention that they are recent graduates of Emily Carr University, because I went there too!

Beautiful hand painted stop-motion by DavetheChimp. The animation, and the paper that the animation was painted on, both showed as part of Dave’s recent solo show at the Vicious Gallery in Hamburg. I love the music in the video as well!

Another great stop-motion by PES, this time it’s a commercial for Scrabble. This is the same guy that created that Spaghetti animation. Enjoy.

Ehren Salazar is easily one of my favourite artists, and I am extremely privileged to call him a friend. I dug up a few of his drawings and I think you will quickly see how insanely talented he is. We went to college together and I remember his portfolio was filled with hundreds of these ridiculously detailed pencil drawings – I just told him about Etsy so hopefully he puts a bunch of his work on there.

Ehren is also currently running a galleryspace called Little Mountain Studios here in Vancouver, and you can definitely expect to see us working together in the new year.

I said in the previous post Evgeny Kiselev’s illustrations reminded me of James Paterson’s work (which I hadn’t looked at for some time) but I just realised the work on his site right now isn’t really the work I was referring to. This video is more representative of the work that immediately jumped to mind when I first looked at Kiselev’s stuff.

Paterson really became known for his brain hemorrhage inducing flash animations which were often set to the amazing music of K-rad.

I was busy all morning doing a bunch of stuff, at least I thought I was. After stumbling upon this masterpiece by Johnny Kelly I realised I hadn’t done anything and had just spent my entire morning procrastinating. Kelly created Procrastination for his MA in Animation at the Royal College of Art. This is the sort of thing you bookmark for later when you are having a creative block. If you are already wasting your day you have nothing to lose watching this little short, but I’d recommend watching it even if you have no time to spare.

I snagged a few examples of Kelly’s superb design work for you all as well!
