A French animation about the perils of coffee

Le Cafe, or “Too much coffee can be dangerous”, is an entertaining short animation that tells the tale of a harrowed cubicle employee that goes through his daily routine with his coffee. Eventually the cups add up and inspire his aggression into a homicidal rampage. Directed by Stephanie Marguerite & Emilie Tarascou, and featuring the […]


A crazy anecdote by famed director Werner Herzog and his chance encounter with Joaquin Phoenix…who he saves from an upside down car crash. Maybe all that stuff about Joaquin being loose canon rapper, as portrayed in the I’m Still Here film, isn’t all just an act — maybe homeboy totally does have a very large […]

LIAS sits down with Sam Spiegel to figure out exactly who they've got naked pictures of...

We’ve covered N.A.S.A.

Props to N.A.S.A. who continue their Boing Boing-sponsored run of excellent animated videos (e.g. that Syd Garon directed “People Tree” video featuring David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Z-Trip and Gift of Gab, “Whachadoin?” with M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock, “Spacious Thoughts” with Tom Waits & Kool Keith, etc). This time it’s a vid for “Strange Enough”, […]

Lifting the curtain to Patrick Boivin's magic

A couple weeks back we posted that AT-AT Day Afternoon video which we thought was the bee’s knees. Well here’s a short “Making Of” video showing how it was done…needless to say, very clever…tip of the hat to creator Patrick Boivin…


Culled from images cut out from numerous skateboard magazines such as Monster Skateboard, Limited Skateboarding and Place, Cologne Germany’s Tilles Singer put together this short stop motion animation titled Skateboardanimation.”A ton of digital photos, a ton of real life magazines, an hour of recording music,” went into it, says Singer. Not only is the idea […]
