Blex Bolex (one more time…)

Yes, we’ve had plenty of Blex Bolex a little while ago (starting here, work your way up...) but when I saw this little animated book trailer for the Italian version of “L’imagier des gens” (“Immaginario” published by edizioni Orecchio acerbo) I couldn’t resist putting up one more post. The basic way of animation suits the style of Mr. Bolex very well, I think. And doing a trailer like this for children’s books seems like a really good idea. Are there any more?

there do seem to be more and more trailers for books. i first became aware of this phenomenon thanks to drawn! (the trailer for "rita and whatsit" [http://drawn.ca/2009/03/03/kids-books-and-bad-moo... is kind of cute, the one for "be a nose" is compellingly weird [http://drawn.ca/2009/02/26/art-spiegelman-animate...

the video associated with "the night life of trees" is a wonderful behind-the-scenes look at the making of a beautiful book [http://drawn.ca/2008/11/17/handmade-books/].

Thanks for the links. Great screen printing video. (I had to do that stuff in school (long ago) but I was awful at it. I like watching other people do it much better :) )
Thanks for posting this; I have this book in French and love his work. Nice to see it animated.

It sure is. It would be great to see more animated stuff by Mr. Bolex, but I don't know if he did any...
