Stop-motion animation on Nokia


Wieden + Kennedy enlisted Aardman to create the film to show off Nokia's CellScope magnifying technology. The film is a charming trifle, but as you can see in the still, the possible applications are far more significant:

The New Pornographers

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (1997 – present) [myspace]
The New Pornographers are a Canadian group formed in 1997 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Their sound is influenced by that of such bands as The Cars and Cheap Trick, but they use much more sophisticated rhythms and chord changes. Although it was widely reported that the New Pornographers got their name from a pamphlet put out by televangelist Jimmy Swaggart condemning rock ‘n’ roll as “the new pornography,” Carl Newman has stated that he came up with the name after watching a Japanese film called The Pornographers.[via]

Lego's Life


Music is Hans Zimmer, "Dream is Collapsing" from the Inception soundtrack.[via]
This is an advert I made for Lego. It uses pieces from the stash my brother and I used to play with when we were younger, so perhaps it looks a bit dated compared with modern day Lego. Dated, but still great. Music and Film by Temujin Doran by Studiocanoe

Surreal animation by Naoyuki Tsuji

Here is an excerpt from artist Naoyuki Tsuji's "A Feather Stare at the Dark" (2003), a simplistic, yet hauntingly surreal, hand-drawn animation made from charcoal drawings.

A unique characteristic of Tsuji's minimalist style is that each frame is created by partially erasing and redrawing the scene on the same sheet of paper. Traces of the previous frames remain visible as the dream-like action unfolds, creating an uncanny sense of motion and the passage of time.[via]
