Favorite music videos 25: METEORITES -- London Elektricity featuring Elsa Esmeralda

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZAX10373pc&feature=share

I think the heroine of this music video can kill the Green Lantern within 5 seconds. I like her very much. Maybe the heroine of this music video should fight against Sailor Uranus or Sailor Neptune.

Simpsons Interview pt 2: Models and Abandoning Inbetweens

CHARACTER MODELSSo I did some character models to give them an idea of how I would draw the characters as caricatures of the Simpsons and then explained that even drawing them that way wouldn’t be enough to achieve what I wanted to do.I’m even bored with the pose to pose style animation we did at Spumco where the only control we had over the look of the cartoon characters’ acting was in the held

Who Needs To Pay For 2 Whole Eyes?




In an industry that is always looking for cost cutting ways to produce entertaining but efficient product I am happy to show off my latest money saving trick.
One eye is half the price of 2, right? Think of the savings!
Of course, sometimes you need a realistic believable expression and only 2 eyes will do so you can't be stingy on every single frame.

Small Children + Big Guns



Ha ha, what the hell ?! This is what happens when you let little Billy have the keys to the gun cupboard.

Baaa



First it's a lamb, then apparently John Carpenter gets hold of it. Who can sleep soundly after seeing this ?

Ed Love: Connecting Held Poses

From :"Drooler's Delight":Ed Love is great at varying how he connects his bold and clear poses. Here's a real simple general way:STRETCH WOODY'S NECKHere are the 2 poses we see and feel in the animation. They are holds. They are drawn with perfectly clear negative spaces, contrasts and lines of action. The action happening between them is visually obvious. Buzz stretches Woody up. The action is

Methodical Study

My pal Jojo is a young whippersnapper who is constantly improving his skills.I suggested he study some Tom and Jerry animation and copy some of the basic actions.I have noticed over the past few years that students who study and even copy old animation do not in turn always apply what they studied to their own work.So I suggested to Jojo to animate another character doing the same action as a Tom

Real Animation

Here is my favorite run cycle from a Clampett cartoon:I think it's Scribner. It's interesting how awkward (and sloppy) the individual frames are as opposed to how magnificently smooth and powerful the motion is.There are 6 drawings on ones for each step.The rest of the scene is great too. Such amazing force!Full ClipYou can buy this set of rare Snafu cartoons on Amazon. This is the best set there

Previews Of Some Work I am Doing In Harmony

Here is a clip from a station ID that is airing on Adult Swim.Elephant Pencil Test, animated by animation giant, Mike KazalehWhen we first started using Harmony, we animated on paper and scanned it in. This was somewhat helpful in making the transition from what we were used to, to animating completely on the computer.Elephant Final, tweaked in HarmonyOnce some of the paper animation was in

THE EXTERNAL WORLD (2010, David OReilly, Ireland/Germany, A+++++++++++++++)

http://vimeo.com/19723116

There's a classic scene in every five seconds in this film. The scene in the minute 12:00-12:25 reminds me of Thailand.

I wish to screen this film together with such crazy films as AT THE HEART OF A SPARROW (2006, Barry Doupé, animation), LOOK OF LOVE (2006, Yoshiharu Ueoka), WHAT HAPPENED TO MAGDALENA JUNG? (1983, Christoph Schlingensief), THE FAMILY THAT EATS SOIL (2005, Khavn de la Cruz), and THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY (1974, Luis Buñuel).

Good Direction VS Turning The Furnace On and Off

WATCH THIS SEQUENCE OF FOGHORN ESCAPING DOGI had thought that because this was such a frenetic sequence, there must be a lot of scene cuts in it. It turns out there are only 3.A lot of story information is conveyed in the short sequence, and McKimson uses all the animation and film tools available to him. He doesn't use the same tool to tell each story point. He varies them and coordinates them
