Very funny slapstick. Ideal for Sunday mornings…
(Don’t worry if it’s not Sunday morning when you see this, it’ll probably still be funny…)

Terry Gilliam is perhaps widely known as a film maker but shall also be remembered as the guy who did those strange and crude but devilishly funny cut-out animations for the Monty Python shows.
When I was a kid and I saw Monty Python on TV, I hated it! I thought it was ugly and the colors were off and I didn’t understand any of the jokes. Seeing the animations now, I’m amazed how well they actually work. As you will see in the video’s, they were done with the simplest of means and oh, yes, the jokes are crude and childish, but the timing is so spot on and the animation, however simple, really works wonderfully for this kind of humor.
Two videos: the first gives you a short introduction on Terry Gilliam and Monty Python. But the second is the real treat: young Gilliam actually shows us how he did the animations and gives countless little tips and tricks on how you could do it yourself. More importantly, he also talks about how the limitations of the technique actually defined the outcome and how all he was doing was try to find ways in which to make animation as fast and simple and with the least amount of work as possible.
Enjoy…

Because the film was still touring the festivals, Anton Setola didn’t want to put his animated short “Jazzed” online. Up till now, that is! Finally, we can all enjoy it from the comfort of our own workplace.
Setola is an animator, illustrator and comic artist from Ghent, Belgium. His film has been shown in over 60 festivals and won him several awards. It is now also available in a beautiful packaged DVD.
More info? Go to his blog or check the earlier post on Monsieur Bandit here, where you can even find a video interview with the man himself.
Enjoy the video.

Indonesia born Denny Khurniawan likes the beauty and simplicity in the graphic shapes of retro imagery. He’s an illustrator and animator worth checking out…
A short animation piece. Perhaps the space ship is a shuttle? Or is it a rocket? Little late for shuttle references? Well, nevermind….

Aha! This is how I like my animation! Flat, graphic, inventive and playful imagery (even despite the gruesome subject…)
For the past hour or so, I’ve been looking at some of the animated shorts the students of the Gobelin School made this year (see links below). They are all superb, of course, but somehow I just don’t seem to get the same thrill watching them as I get from something like this.
See, I’m just not interested in how well you can draw rock texture and how life-like your shadows glide across the face of our hero. I’m much more interested in shapes and color and composition. Yeah, I know, I’m funny that way.
This short piece is made by Igor Coric for the Aniboom Awards 2007. Aniboom is a “virtual Animation Studio” (I’m not an animator, so I’m not really sure how that works, but you can check it out at www.aniboom.com).
In the mean while, enjoy the video…
And here are some links to the Gobelin videos I was talking about. Actually, they are pretty neat, I guess. Check them out:

This animated short is not too concerned with historical accuracy, but is great fun to watch… It’s called an “homage” to Jackson Pollock, but I’m not really quite sure they are not just taking the piss…

Remember the post on Joann Sfar’s movie “Gainsbourg”, a while ago? Well, our beloved French comic artist slash film maker has a new film out: “Le Chat du Rabbin” based on the popular comic books with the same name. It’s an animated movie this time. Check out the trailer below…
If you want more, here you can find a “making of” of sorts (in French) or a longer trailer (also in French).

A delightful retro-styled animation which sums up all possible clichés going around about the French. Of course, all of them are absolutely true.
There is one thing about French fries actually being Belgian which…. well…which I, being from Belgium am not going to get into. Just come and taste our national dish and then taste those so called “French” fries anywhere else in the world and the case will be closed.
“French” fries.
Puh.

I have no idea what this is all about. If you do, feel free to tell me. I just like the visuals too much not to post it…

This lovely animation is a music video for the band Danger Beach (Dream Damage Records), made by Oneedo/ Ned Wenlock (with character animation by Rodney Selby). Great colors and illustration-style but most noteworthy is the very successful use of a rotating background plane. (It’s too hard to explain, just watch the video, you’ll immediately see what I mean…)
More work of Oneedo can be found on oneedo.posterous.com and on his Vimeo page.
