Regular ARC visitor and dear friend Kristi sent me a link to this preview for a film called The Kinematograph. Stunning detail, a gorgeous restricted colour pallet, stoic characters design (although perhaps not very expressive). Its well worth a look, thanks Kristi.

The Kinematograph
Regular ARC visitor and dear friend Kristi sent me a link to this preview for a film called The Kinematograph. Stunning detail, a gorgeous restricted colour pallet, stoic characters design (although perhaps not very expressive). Its well worth a look, thanks Kristi.
Dust Echoes
Dust Echoes is a series of animated shorts telling traditional Australian Aboriginal stories creatively using a variety of animation techniques. There are quite a few, the links to the individual films are across the top of the page. They often employ interesting design, creative direction and beautiful colours.An interesting note is that I first saw this on the TV and then went looking for it online, in over 3 years of blogging about animation I can't remember things ever happening in that order before. The Internet has pretty much become the exclusive home of innovative, experimental and even interesting animation. I saw this one on a relatively new station here in Australia, ABC2 a second layer to the Australian National Broadcasters transmissions (similar to BBC2 in the UK) made possible through the introduction of Digital TV in recent years. Bless the world public broadcasters, you gota love em.
Despite the policies of our recently elected government (of which I am a supporter) as stated prior to the election, rumours still persist about the possibility of a third ABC channel dedicated to children's entertainment. Keep your fingers crossed, it could have a huge impact on our local industry if the ABC suddenly has a whole channel to fill with kids shows.
Legacy
This film looks amazing, but I have to wonder about the threat blamed for the human races fate, seems to me there are more pressing issues looming these days.

This is beautiful! Timing, attitude, emotion, art direction..... I love it! It was made by a guy called Shane Acker (check out his web site here) and there's a rumour going round that Tim Burton liked this short so much that he wants to turn it into a feature film.
Jojo in the Stars
Trust the good people at Studio AKA to show us that you don't need complicated characters to tell a good story. Gota love their work.
Une histoire vertébrale
A beautiful film from Jeremy Clapin, effortlessly combining 2D and 3D animation to create a spellbinding story.
Cable
A thrilling and beautiful Sci Fi thriller from Gobelins graduate Remi Gamiette. The character animation and art direction is first class.
