This sweet little video was created by Owen Gatley and Luke Jinks. “It’s loosely based on the scientific recording of life’s great species. And how this has given us clues that piece together, for us to discover the secrets of the evolution and diversity of life on Earth.”

Scott Coello somehow managed to make a dog fart lyrical and even beautiful. To add to the irony, he accomplished this by animating bits of garbage and found objects. The animation is dedicated to his dog who recent lost her lady bits (as he puts it).

Fatal Farm was asked to create some shorts for the Mtv Movie Awards but several of them were rejected. They decided to air the results on YouTube anyway much to everyone’s chagrin. Personally, I think they are weird, original and hilarious.

Bam Studio sent this experimental animation video to me today and I was impressed on several levels. It’s an interesting bit of animation in terms of what is happening, but it is equally inspiring for the imaginative renderings of the figures. There is a vintage 70’s throwback feel in the execution that is just really fun to look at. I’ve got nothing but love for the Brasileiros.

A whole lot of credits:

“Stop-motion film, written, animated, & directed by Dan Blank. Winner of Los Angeles Film Festival (Best Short, 2002), 2002 Student Academy Award (Bronze) & 2003 Student Emmy Award (Gold).

In August of 1945, in a closing chapter of the second World War, a blinding flash lit the sky over Hiroshima. The places that were shielded from that searing light became permanent shadows on the city’s walls and streets, while the city itself was decimated. “Shadowplay” is the story of Akio, a shadow of a young boy, who wanders the city searching for his family, while trying to make sense of the unfathomable atrocity.”

Produced by Dan Blank & Cynthia Allen
Cast: Jennifer Kato, Takeo Matsushita, Jun Kim, Ako.
Music: Ryan Shore
