Really loving this animated short film Kiwi! by Dony Permedi — it’s super simple, but beautiful. I actually had to watch it twice to get it, mostly cos I’m a bit slow…

What if Jesus came out as a DJ, wore New Era caps and made real holy water for his crew?
I like the quick mix of Flash animation with real-world graphics…if at least for even a second. Created by the Gobelins, a French animation crew made up of Rémi Bastie, Jean-Baptiste Cumont, Clément Desnos, Jonathan Djob Nkondo and Nicolas Pegon, I guess you could call this a modern retelling of the parables…only with Technics and […]

440 hours of playing with Legos, and they still avoid getting yelled at by mom
It apparently took 440 hours to film this stop-motion animation Lego interpretation of the infamous “Bullet” scene from the Matrix. The Lego Matrix crew is made up of Trevor Boyd and Steve Ilett — peep their site for a detailed behind-the-scenes look at the production process…nice work…

Aptly named magic from Wes Anderson
I know the movie came out last week, but I only had a chance to catch Fantastic Mr. Fox this weekend with the Madfam over Thanksgiving. With some of us voting for the redundantly named Ninja Assassin (including yours truly), and others opting for the craptacular 2012, it seemed Mr. Fox was the one flick […]

Fluorescent Hill gets to animate two of the coolest human beings on the planet
I just don’t know how N.A.S.A. does it. I mean I know Squeak E. Clean (aka Sam Spiegel) is Spike Jonze’ brother and all that, and the dude is obviously well connected, but the callobos he manages to link together and the artists he has work on his projects are otherworldly (like that Syd Garon […]

Synesthesia in Lego format
The latest installment of Commercials-That-Don’t-Make-Me-Want-To-Shank-Myself-In-the-Retina is HunterGatherer‘s spot commissioned by Fuel TV. Why do I suddenly feel the desire to eat glue and pee myself in a sandbox? Those wooden blocks are bringing back some pretty strange memories…

Secret Agents + Stir Fridays = Just the Tip
If Archer maintains being half as funny as its pilot, it’s gonna be perma-locked into my Tivo. Created by Adam Reed of Sealab 2021 fame, the show follows the exploits of the self-absorbed, narcisistic secret agent Sterling Archer who seems to survive on a shaky diet of lascivious ignorance and nepotism alone (his mom is […]

At least I was pretty convinced after watching these two videos
It’s not easy to turn out something truly unique and innovative in this day and age. I’m pretty sure the world is almost out of original ideas. Not far from it anyway. If “Videogioco” is any indication, I think Donato Sansone is going to hold out longer than most people. Wow. I’m not even sure […]
