"Polish Girl" was directed by Tim Nackashi and produced in collaboration between The Creators Project, Neon Indian, and Mom + Pop Music.

This is related to my Halloween because I'm going to be a Polish Future Girl!!! haha ;-) I'm already a polish girl so the futuristic part is just what I need achieve now!  We'll see if I can pull it off.  Add me on my personal facebook --> Adair Nicole to see if I can make it happen! :) I also want to see what everyone else is doing for Halloween!

Animation at it's finest.

The sharp edges and geometric animation is a unique feature I haven't seen with any cartoon before.  I'd like to see more of this kind of animation by Binns.

Film Friday - MÖBIUS

Absolutely incredible is this collaborative stop motion sculpture.... 
Take a look...

MÖBIUS from ENESS on Vimeo.

Twenty-one large triangles animated by Melbourne, throughout Federation Square. MÖBIUS is a sculpture that can be configured into many cyclical patterns and behave as though it is eating itself, whilst sinking into the ground. The result is an optical illusion and a time-lapse of people interacting with the sculpture and moving through Melbourne's landmark location throughout the day. MÖBIUS was animated over two weeks Friday, Saturday & Sunday between the 6th - 20th of May 2011.


I love stop motion film!  Have you seen any good stop motion videos?  If so, please share in a comment below! :)

First Film Friday of the month brings to you this amazing video directed by Nick Thompson at The Drop Studio for promotion of Summadayze.  I can't exactly figure out what this Summadayze thing is besides that it is based out of Australia.  Does anyone know or can explain to me exactly what is?  Either way, this video rules.

Tactile Waveforms from Süperfad on Vimeo.

"Süperfad’s latest short film, directed by Nando Costa, explores the connections between science, mathematics and music. Drawings representing a musical score are released into stylized landscapes that illustrate conditions through which sounds travel. These drawn representations react in different ways when traveling through the desolate landscapes, transforming into impossible musical instruments and altering elements in the environment along the way. The film’s structure is defined by World Gang’s music composition, which features classic instruments altered electronically to create the track. Working in a push and pull relationship, the film’s video and audio abstractions unite in an experience that is both otherworldly and rooted in tradition."

As quoted from Zeitguised website, “Zeitguised made a piece in six acts for the opening exhibition at the Zirkel Gallery. It entails six imaginations of disoriented systems that take a catastrophic turn, including the evolution of educational plant-body-machine models and liquid building materials.”

So here's an interesting one for you.  
This particular film, Between Bears by Eran Hilleli, was the winner of Best Animation Award at the First Vimeo Film Festival.  

Between Bears from Eran Hilleli on Vimeo.

I'm not exactly sure what to gather from this.  I was a little thrown off in the beginning when the bear shaves himself and his hair turns into butterflies... but that may just be me. haha  Although, I do think the animation is so very unique and interesting to watch.  


The director says this about the story line of this video... "It is a debt to my childhood and other lives I hope I lived. Inspired by words of songs that I admire."


Anyone have any thoughts they would like to share on this?
