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.
