Le Mannequin

A student film from Malaysia (broken link fixed...sorry :P).

4pm

A student film with no bells and whistle (well there is one whistle), just beautiful posing, timing and spacing. Especially on those amazing hands.

Zoologic

By Far the best film I have seen online this year, and it was made by a student! Found on the great Drawn Blog.

Wake Up, Freak Out - then Get a Grip

Another piece of student work, this time from the Royal Collage of Art. Wow! Wow!

Khoda

From the Jordanstone College of Art and Design, wow!

Animation Mentor Student Showcase - Summer 2008

The latest goodies from Animation Mentor students. Things for other animation students around the world to study and learn from include....

Great Line of action in the poses, consistently well balanced poses, beautiful arcs in the movements (particularly I liked the ones in the clip I featured in the link pic), great eye movements. Nice.

A guy called Ron Pucherelli features heavily in this collection of work, he has since gotten a job at Dreamworks, and has posted a copy of the reel he submitted to get the job on his blog.

Oktapodi

After much hype and anticipation this multi award winning student film from Gobilins is legitimately up on the net. Definitely a cut above your average student film.

World War

World war is a very classy film from the University Of Hertfordshire. Often when there is one thing I don't like about a film people assume I hated the whole thing, so before I mention the one thing I didn't like just let me say. I LIKED THIS FILM. Weight, Timing, Design, character dynamics, there was plenty that was well above average for a student film. The one thing I don't like is the bullet time. In the Matrix, the bullet time served a purpose, it was showing us actions that were supposedly too fast for us to see, often the scenes were shown with relative objects that we took for granted as moving fast (ie. Bullets) to drive home the "speed" we were witnessing. When you just throw it in for no apparent reason apart from you think its cool, its bad symbolism and just comes off as nerdy as far as I'm concerned. That having been said, there is some cool stuff in this film, you wouldn't necessarily pick it as student work. So lets nerd it up together and enjoy World War.

Polaris

A slick motion graphics piece from the Vancouver Film School.
