MUTE

24 Oct

MUTE is an animated short about a world populated by people born without a mouth. When a gory accident leads to the discovery they are able to create their own mouth by cutting themselves, this releases an enthusiastic chain reaction among the population…
This 4 minute cgi short has been created by Job, Joris & Marieke, a Dutch studio for animation, illustration, character design and music. In 2011 Job, Joris & Marieke made the music video ‘I’ll take you along’ for Dutch rapper Gers Pardoel which has been viewed over 15 million times. The music was made by Happy Camper, and all voices were done by Fresku!
MUTE premiered at the Dutch Film Festival in the Golden Calf competition and was screened at the Anim’est festival in Bucarest. More festival news can be found on the MUTE website

Spooky 3D Lenticular GIFs by the Saline Project

2 Aug

“Brooklyn-based studio the Saline Project have diverted their talent for creating music videos, and applied it to GIF art in their image series entitled ‘monsters, villains, heroes and victims’ (MVHV). brothers adam and ben toht along with jesse roff and Liam Kirtley make up the collective who will showcase up to thirteen pieces, all of which broaden the traditional computerized GIF art-form from a basic animated visual to one that also illustrates depth and volume.

This technique has been dubbed ‘3D lenticular imagery’ and was achieved through photographing the scenes in a studio, and then reproduced into a type of photo collage, cut up in a particular way to give the illusion of dimension.

The team, who have in the past created music videos for the likes of modest mouse and the cure describe the serendipitous process behind the concept:

‘We do a lot of fooling around and experimentation, and MVHV came out of one of those experiments, really it’s a mash-up of a bunch of things that we love dearly. we’ve always been drawn to dark, iconic characters and the look and feel of film noir.’ The remainder of the images are aimed to be released coinciding with halloween, given the spooky subjects, with a show in new york, then published online from which they will make an ‘art app’, so viewers can see them on phones and ipads”.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

13 Feb


Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience that harkens back to silent films and M-G-M Technicolor musicals. “Morris Lessmore” is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.

“The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore” is one of five animated short films that will be considered for outstanding film achievements of 2011 in the 84th Academy Awards ®.
