Laundry Day

This is a student animation project made by Guillaume Chartier from Sheridan College. The synopsis is that a guy's girlfriend finds something incriminating in his pants pocket while doing his laundry...and the genuinely unexpected plot twist that ensues.



I honestly can't stop laughing.

"True Affection" - The Blow

Here's a song Chris sent me. It's a cute, mellow synthpop song, with wispy vocals and a simple beat. Kind of reminds me of Freezepop's low-tempo songs. Except with less synth, more Casio.

As far as song content goes...I'll let the lyrics speak for themselves. The video itself reminds of my Animation Basics class. Lots of simple, low-budget stop-motion and puppetry. I'd be thrilled to be the squid that nabs that cupcake.



P.S. Speaking of Freezepop, here's a classic song about everyone's favorite "boy" (whatever he is) known as Phillipe. (HUGS!)

MUTO

Creative stop-motion graffiti animation. I would hate to be the public works department responsible for cleanup.

Dear Beautiful

Oh, the power of traditional 2D animation!

Dear Beautiful (by Roland Becerra) is an animated short film about lotion-gulping zombies and a man's failed marriage. While I could go into further analysis of the story and all such metaphors, I want to point out that the art and animation at times is eerily realistic. At times, I feel as if I'm looking at a photo or live-action shot, only to have something move in stop-motion speeds and tell me that I'd been fooled. The lighting is what pulls it off. Not to mention that the faces are incredibly well-drawn.

Oh yeah, the story's kinda scary too. And it's being made into a movie. Oh, and here's the trailer. But I highly encourage you to watch the short film as well.
