Sketch Crawl: Saturday, November 14th

We are in the works of planning a sketch crawl for next Saturday. We can meet at Lincoln Park Zoo. But we are open to other suggestions as well. Please let us know and check back here in a few days for more info.

Nice flash animation from Brazil

Motionographer had this nice clip from a new agency in Brazil called "Samuri." Really cute design and nice animation.

Here's the link to the vimeo: link

This site has some nice stills from the commercial.

Girl Guides Film Festival

A couple of days back I stumbled across a cute short on Motionagrapher, made for the Canadian version of girl scouts.

Here's a link to that clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vmWBthwiZU

BUT they also have a bunch of promotion pieces, done by artist filmmakers, some animated. Once the page loads, if you move your mouse over the bottom, a bunch of them should appear. It tends to hide if you don't hover.

Beatles Rockband

Boing boing has a short article showing all the animated pieces associated with the new Beatles Rockband. They've even got some background art up. Lets hope that there's a making-of book with more work, that would be pretty good. MK12 studio did the short motion graphic pieces set before all the chapters. This short article has links to clips from the game. It's an amazing undertaking as they're dealing with something with so much history and a huge fanbase. I think they did a phenominal job on this.

Here's a good article asking Pixar to make a movie about a girl who is NOT a princess! ;)
