sony bunnies

Sony’s latest Bravia TV ad, you know, from the Color Like No Other campaign, is stunning, as always. (Nothing will ever be quite as good as the Balls ad here, and here on YouTube.) In this one, hundreds of colorful claymation bunnies hop around Manhattan. Is this another contender for ad of the year? The […]

a gentlemen’s duel

Here’s another brilliant animated short from Blur Studio called A Gentlemen’s Duel. You might remember the fanastic Rockfish I posted about ages ago. Trust me on this one. It starts off kind of shitty even though the animation is great, but then it takes a turn for the fantastic. Well work your downloading time.

A gentlemen's […]

dogfight for zune

Here’s a pretty great animated advertisement for Microsoft’s Zune (that’s a music player thing) called “Dogfight”. It was done by a company called FullTank. (Here’s interview with them about the Zune Arts Films.)

I wish it was an ad for a new game on XBox because I would buy it tomorrow. Nice work.

Watch this now.

The guy who edited this together is a genius. I love Family Guy so maybe I’m biased.

hoops & yoyo

hoops & yoyo are two Shockwave Flash animated characters created by the devils over at Hallmark (who profit from selling cards and gifts for EVERY tragedy known to man). I don’t know who is responsible for hoops & yoyo (apparently some dude named ‘Bob’), but man, this shit is genius.
Apparently, they’ve been around for […]

London 2012

The London Olympic committee, or whatever the hell it is called, just released the new logo and branding for the 2012 Olympics in London, including a video “brand animation”. I have seen extraordinarily mixed reactions to this including love, hate, indifference, and confusion. I will not be shy about saying that I absolutely hate it.

Love […]

nazi mech

A guy named Marco Spitoni from a company called Cee Gee wrote, directed, modeled, and animated this short film which answers the question we have all asked ourselves. “What if the Nazi’s had giant robots?”
The answer is spectacularly animated and “filmed” to look authentic and plausible. The camera movements and style are spot on, and […]

amazing TMNT guerilla marketing

Brazillian agency Ginga Interactive created this full-building projection of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Tartarugas Ninja) in action to promote the release of the movie. I have heard the movie is shit, but this advertising is fantastic.

beautiful batman short

This very stylized Batman short animation by Isaak Fernandez Rodriquez is absolutely gorgeous. Kind of a big download, but worth it. I hope he continues the series.

Hertzfeldt

There was a time back before YouTube and Google Video when you thought of a short film or animation you had to HUNT for it all over the internets, and there was a very good chance you wouldn’t find it. Message boards, P2P, Google, blogs, wherever. Back then, I was obsessed with Don Hertzfeldt, the […]
