crocodile 8,017 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Do you guys enjoy animation? I'm not an expert on the subject but have watched several nice shorts from all around the world recently (my mate is hosting an animation night in a local gallery). Some of this stuff is really amazing - imaginative and bold.Do you have any favourites? Share them in this thread!http://youtu.be/UuM8xHQSUEMhttp://youtu.be/pePhP-qRzSc And here's a trailer for one nice Polish animation, combining techniques of oild painting and CGI: Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Great thread!I could really overload this post with YouTube videos, but I'll go with this hilarious little stop-motion from 1912 about a beetle who cheats on his wife with a dragonfly. I agree with what you said about animated short films, in general. It's such an expressive medium and without the financial imperative of a big budget feature, animators can really produce some stunning work that gets across a variety of incredibly complex, surreal, and abstract ideas that live action filmmaking could never get away with. It's really worth getting into for cinephiles, a lot of this stuff has expanded my ideas of what movies can do more than anything else I've ever seen.

crocodile 8,017 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Please, do overload it. I'd like to see some stuff. Not only to entertain myself, but to help my mate with future shows.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,287 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Cool! You asked for it! Two of the best from one of my favorite filmmakers, Norman McLarenhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8uktqgKgw0 Some beautifully expressive work by Frederic Back I loved your mention of "Billy's Balloon", Don Hertzfeldt's stuff is so great. Outrageous. This one, Tale of Tales, is really one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It's often compared to Tarkovsky, and rightly so.http://vimeo.com/35186276Lotte Reiniger's shadow puppet animation is quite fun and interesting. Her feature The Adventures of Prince Achmed is fantastic, the oldest surviving animated film, and her work was also the inspiration for the Three Brothers segment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. My favorite scene from Prince Achmed: And of course all those countless great Chuck Jones, Walt Disney, Tex Avery, and Bill Melendez (Peanuts) cartoons, along with this childhood favorite that gets better and better every time:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCEvL_hdN2A crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Just watched this little masterpiece, truly wonderful. I love the character animation reminiscent of the Nine Old Men and also the silent and slow mood the short has. Amazing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Anyways, I remember when some of this footage minus sound leaked a year or two ago, and he begged to have it not distributed. It's really quite well made, full of nods to the TIE Fighter games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
