Please say something, a digital short by David O’reilly is the winner of the 2009 Golden Bear for best short film at the Berlinale. It is an extremely interesting take on current digital animation techniques. You will notice right away that most of the “flash” of current CG animation is gone, the video is in fact completely stripped of any eye candy: motion blur, textures, reflections and filters. I find it an extremely interesting narrative that is worth watching.

Scintillation: amazing stop motion
08/05/2009
Posted by Clint Omelaniec Wait this one out, trust me: you will be glad you did. Using an amazing combination of projection and stop motion Xavier Chassaing creates probably one of the most amazing pieces of stop motion animation i’ve seen in a long time.
Again, another one of those experiments that ends up impressing me much more than most of the viral vids out there.
Oil in Water

Posted by Clint Omelaniec I am a big fan of experimental projects that look to bring forth some new ideas and aesthetics in the world of video and motion design. This simple stop motion piece that uses just a rebel XT and some oil and water is a great example of animation that immediately attracts your attention.
