i’ve been away for a bit with Kristen Campbell (http://okutonic.tumblr.com) to do a 48hr animation competition in Stuttgart, Germany. It was for the ITFS festival! It was super wonderful - we were doing it in a bookstore and the public could come in and watch us work. We were the only North American team and were honoured to win!
I hope y’all enjoy it!
i ABSOLUTELY LOVE this! so organic and magical.

this is inspiring me today, also this interview with him
If you’ve got to finish the shot by tomorrow, and you’re stuck on this one drawing from this hard angle, then that’s no time for being stubborn. You’ve got to settle for passable. Any other time, you can go back to being stubborn. It’s important to have that determination to draw a drawing a certain way no matter what. Drawing skill comes as a result of that process. Even if you can’t draw it as well as you want, you’re definitely getting better by trying. If you’re not struggling to draw a drawing right, then you’ll never get better. It’s important to have that determination to get better no matter what when you’re young, because that’s how you improve. Of course, it’s also important to learn when to give in and move on, as contradictory as that may sound. Both are important.

my family and the wolf trailer
seriously, fucking love this scene. had to rewind it a few times. i love their facial expressions and the acting in this.
also speaking of facial expressions, i LOVE how whenever tenzin gets mad not only does his face turn red, they have instrumentals playing angrily in the background too. HILARIOUS.

this is so beautiful! im digging this style
Animated Short of the Day: Good Books, an online book retailer that donates all its proceeds to Oxfam, recently collaborated with NYC-based creative studios Buck and Antfood to create this trippy promo based on the works of Franz Kafka and Hunter S. Thompson.
In a disclaimer, the company notes that the video is not endorsed by either estates, but they “humbly suggest” Thompson would have liked it. Considering there is enough contact high in this short to kill a wild horse, I’d say they’re probably right.
