Dinorider

another animation workshop short...

I just love this one too!

An animated short film by: Peter Lopes Andersson

STORY:
A kid with a pent-up anger and a dinosaur in his pocket gets fed up with adults. A rock n´ roll animation short about not loving your neighbour.

I have a friend working on a new animated show for MTV. Evidently, MTV is bringing back Beavis and Butthead and developing some new shows for their animated segments like they used to have in the 80's. This piece would fit into that bit nicely. I encourage the filmmakers/animators to submit!

In this post apocalyptic Heavy Metal film you will be sucked into an Ocean of flames, grease and dirty monster walkers, where the Biker Oatmeal and the gentleman Orson Wheels will fight in a mad race across the Red fields of Mars in search of the last gas station on this desolate planet.

It will rip out your spine out of your weakened bodies and leave you in the red dust begging for more.

This school is not only teaching animation, but they are teaching film making! I do not question why it was animated and not live action, like I do so many animated movies today with more adult themes. LOVE IT!

Bachelor film project 2011 from The Animation Workshop.

Story
Salma is a film about a girl living in a land recovering from war. One day her father dies in a cluster bomb accident. This tragic event shrouds her mind and leaves her desperate and lost in a world she does no longer recognize.

By: Anders Friis Christiansen, Martin Sand Vallespir, Kirsten R. Grann, Michael Nielsen, Astrid M. Lauridsen, Rikke Skovgaard

The experimental nature of the work I have seen so far come out of this school is so refreshing. Everything the school produces also looks different, the storytelling goes beyond intentions for a young audience or just gags... there is real meat in there - a message! I also love how they push the boundaries of what animation can be... rather than a repeat cookie cutter of what commercial animation is today. Love it!

The Backwater Gospel

ummm, wow...

this one made my art blog too, cuz its just so damn good!
Warning: it's "kinda" violent.

“As long as anyone can remember, the coming of The Undertaker has meant the coming of death. Until one day the grim promise fails and tension builds as the God fearing townsfolk of Backwater wait for someone to die.”

I am so impressed, I decided to post the director's reel here too.

Tytla’s Dwarf Fight - Sporn Blog

Michael Sporn posted Bill Tytla's Dwarf Sequence from Snow White.

When I teach, all of my mentoring is based on forces and forms.

This is a great example of these concepts.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
