Friday, September 23, 2011 at 05:26PM Here's an odd one.... It's called the Tape Generation and it's about, you guessed it, TAPE. It's the meticulous live action animation work of Johan Rijpma, a Dutch artist. He has worked with rubber bands and tiles, but this time his medium is tape, the sticky stuff.

Tuesday, August 30, 2011 at 01:35PM It's called Melissa Power of Love. It was created by taking still shots of the work of 25 animators over five months. The medium was 350,000 love messages on Post It messages. The notes were written by visitors to the Galeria Melissa in São Paolo. The film was truly a labor of love.
Monday, December 14, 2009 at 07:29PM Here's the story of real world meets the crazy minds of animators. Rooted in an age old belief that small people could arise from decaying matter, the short animated film combines the high speed shots of a rotting still portrait of flowers, cheese, fowl, fish and fruits with some twisted animation showing what happens when the little humans run awry. Pure insanity. Fun to watch albeit pushing the insanity envelope. The animation was created by the twisted production company Humble.
Monday, November 23, 2009 at 09:24PM The Fantastic Mr. Fox is Wes Anderson's new animated take on the classic Roald Dahl tale. Fun to watch for parents and kids. Using stop animation and delivered in an offbeat, edgy style, this is not your average Disney style animated tale. Quirky characters and voices bring the kind of take you would expect Wes Anderson to bring to animation. George Clooney is the voice or Mr. Fox, Meryl Streep is the voice of Mrs. Fox, Jason Schwartzman voices Ash and Bill Murray offers up Badger's lines.
Friday, November 20, 2009 at 10:19AM Here's a great story about pitching great Doc Ellis. It was animated by James Blagden, who complements Ellis's unforgetable with some kooky and amusing animation that helps tell the story in a one of a kind way.
