Alexandre Siqueira’s Voyage au Champ de Tournesols (Journey to the Field of Sunflowers) is a unique, delicate film about life and death. It was Siqueira’s graduation film from the French animation school La Poudrière and has since been screened at Annecy and Anima Mundi, as well as broadcast on the French/German ARTE channel and Switzerland’s RTS. Here’s its internet debut: 1 Comment » posted in Shorts, Alexandre Siqueira

I’m new to the work of Michel Klöfkorn, but he’s been creating music videos, commercials and experimental films in Germany since the 1990s. He’s a relentless experimenter whose animation techniques look familiar but foreign at the same time. Take, for example the first short after the jump, Fluid Paper. We’ve seen books used as the raw material for animation before, but Klöfkorn charts exciting new territory with the concept. 3 Comments » posted in Animators, Experimental, Shorts, Germany, Michel Klöfkorn

The results are in from Cartoon Brew’s Oscar survey and the winners are Pixar’s La Luna in the Animated Short Category and ILM’s Rango for Animated Feature. The full results are below:
As an unfortunate sidenote, we had to end the survey a few days earlier than we’d anticipated because someone attempted to hack the survey over the weekend. Despite the system’s restrictions for allowing one vote per IP, a user with the IP 75.128.42.114 who lives in a residential neighborhood of Glendale, circumvented these safeguards. This person voted a total of 224 times, 221 of those votes for Kung Fu Panda 2. In a show of generosity, the other three votes were awarded to Puss in Boots. We eliminated all of those results and ended up with 618 legitimate ballots. 39 Comments » posted in Feature Film, Shorts, Academy Awards, Oscars

Watch the trailer for The Pub, the latest short by British animator Joseph Pierce. His rotoscope-based technique, which he’s used to powerful effect in shorts like Stand-Up and A Family Portrait, explores the expressive potential of live-action reference in ways that few have ever done. 4 Comments » posted in Shorts, Joseph Pierce, Rotoscope, UK

With no clear frontrunners in either the Best Animated Feature or Short categories, it’s time to call upon the wisdom of the animation masses. Tell us what films you think SHOULD win the animation Oscars this year. We’ll keep the survey open for a week until everyone has had a chance to make their voice heard.

I never noticed until a few nights ago that Richard Williams’s rarely seen 1962 Love Me, Love Me, Love Me can be viewed online. It was uploaded onto YouTube by the Thief Archive, which is a remarkable collection of over 300 videos related to the life and work of Williams. 18 Comments » posted in Classic, Shorts, Richard Williams
