A wonderful collaboration of 3D and 2D graphics paying tribute to the evolution of video games and 3D. It’s a bit long but probably the best quality 3D animation I’ve seen in a while. Definitely turn it on HD if you can.
A very neat video taking you through a Mandelbox, which you can read all about here if you are interested in such an abstract mathematical construct.
This is a Star Wars fan film detailing the adventures of Han Solo and how he got on Jabba’s bad side. The animation quality is fun and while it’s not Harrison Ford voicing Solo, the dialogue is spot on. It’s a definite fan-service and not the most interesting but is pretty good for a 5…
That, my friends, is a 3D painting of a girl for a speed bump. From Canadia. In what sounds like a terrifying experience, the girl’s elongated form appears to rise from the ground as cars approach, reaching 3D realism at around 100 feet, and then returning to 2D distortion once cars pass that ideal viewing…
While the dialogue and premise are pretty weak, this short 3D animation does have some wonderful color and character design. It’s been a while since I’ve posted a good 3d short. The Monk & The Monkey from Brendan Carroll on Vimeo.
The Goon is a highly acclaimed graphic novel and is currently looking for funding to turn it into an animated film. Here is the trailer they put together.
The title pretty well describes what’s going on here. It’s a bit long, but the production quality is solid.
Cadbury is putting together a promotion for the London Olympics called Spots vs Stripes. People are asked to choose a side and participate in random activities to collect points prior to the 2012 Olympics. I don’t really care about the contest, but the promo video is pretty funny and well animated.
Day & Night is Pixar’s latest short for Toy Story 3. I can’t embed, so you will have to click the link, but I can assure you it’s well worth it. It’s about 5 minutes long and has some of the most creative blending of 2D to 3D I’ve seen. You will not be disappointed.
An adorable animation created telling the story of two zits on the Moon and one astronauts trials to bring them together in the name of love. Crater Face from Skyler Page on Vimeo.
