Stop Frame animated made in 2005 but didn't edit until 2007. Abstract but with a sort of plot. A man leaves his wife and kids and buries himself. Music by LOOM.I loved the effect when you see him driving the car from outside the windshield, the lights and shadows etc. Good stuff.

Shadowplay (2002)

Shadowplay (2002) from Dan B. on Vimeo.

In August of 1945, in a closing chapter of the second World War, a blinding flash lit the sky over Hiroshima. The places that were shielded from that searing light became permanent shadows on the city's walls and streets, while the city itself was decimated. "Shadowplay" is the story of Akio, a shadow of a young boy, who wanders the city searching for his family, while trying to make sense of the unfathomable atrocity.

What Author says:
I am often asked what the catalyst was for me to create "Shadowplay". I first learned of the “shadow” images left from the atomic blast back in high school. Being part of a generation that is desensitized to violence, the photos of victims’ charred bodies, grotesque deformities, or other complications from radiation exposure did not strike as much of an emotional chord with me as the “shadows” of Hiroshima did.
With a blinding flash, huge slabs of concrete worked like emulsion paper, creating silhouetted photographs of that split-second of power. Shadows were left of people going about their everyday lives: a man washing a window, one casually entering a bank, another about to whip his horse. No other word more aptly describes these ghosted images in Hiroshima other than “haunting”.
These are the reflex images I think of when there is talk of nuclear threats or weapons of mass destruction. Like chalk outlines at a crime scene, the faceless poses make me realize, “This could have been anyone, anywhere.” For someone who never lived through World War II or the Atomic Age, the shadows are a timeless, unforgettable portrayal of life stopping.
As I began my career in animation, I tried to explore the medium and its boundaries in dramatic storytelling. I have been fascinated by how an audience can be moved by something so “inanimate” as animation, and wanted to see how far I could push this boundary. The shadows of Hiroshima seemed obvious subject matter to me. I knew the difficulty in trying to have an audience relate to a character with no face and no eyes, or for that matter, ones that don’t even move. But, as I learned during the basics of animation, poses are the most important aspect of character animation. No poses are more expressive and have more subtext than the shadow-people of Hiroshima.
I hope you find this film to be a touching, respectful, and heartfelt film about the horrors of war. For an American making a film about a Japanese tragedy, it seems that my film could only be aimed at a global audience, for all sides of conflicts worldwide. But I also hope than you can see the power animation can have as a means for dramatic storytelling, and that the medium still has uncharted territories to explore. I hope the images in “Shadowplay” move you the way they moved me. Thank you.

Hi Mike,Thanks for joining. We are busy but do not worry, we take at least 2 hours in the day to read, discuss the blog and give review.You said it in this post: Gnarls Barkley - Who's Gonna Save My Soul"Everything I publish on this blog has a particular attitude to art, graphic or something results unique in my perception of things"We also know a group of bloggers who have the same attitude, the same communication style and I think I met more than 2 today, :-)
These bloggers are free thinkers who enjoy chasing enriching, emotional experiences.Their goal is sharing their perception and how they feel improvement may be accomplished (it depends on the blogs), improve things and prefer offering ideas and brainstorming rather than trying to in influence their readers to think exactly like them.
Your blog content and writing style are very personal and the fact that you rarely use this blog to interact with followers shows that you prefer being part of larger communities where you prefer to get in touch with these followers.We can see that you are a laid-back blogger and who prefers not to focus only on his own knowledge.
That's why we can see various link in the blog and also all around the blog.It's the kind of blog where people can feel comfortable but the blog could sometimes looks like a monologue.You love to discover and discuss new and interesting products and services which connect with your unique set of values. People who blog like you are usually not attracted by stylish items but love art, books and bio-friendly or green products and do not hesitate to write about them and link to them; hence their use of affiliation networks.
On the other hand, most of them do not try to profit from their blogs and tend to decide against advertising, which is not your case :-) You are the exception :-)

JumpTrumpRumpBump

JumpTrumpRumpBump from Molasses Murphy on Vimeo.

"A gorgeous experimental animation, JumpTrumpRumpBump brings together recycling, a little girl, escaped convict animals and Jazz." Author says about the technique he uses: "It's traditional animation for the girl and the scenes outside the treehouse at night and walking to the jam session. Pencil on paper photographed with a digital camera. The rest is digital cutout animation. Lots of drawn pieces of the characters scanned in, edited in Photoshop and then animated in After Effects. The cameras & compositing are done in that software too", and I think it's really a good job.

His real name is Justin Daniel Murphy. He's a Canadian Animator and Designer. He recently graduated from AnimationMentor.com and he has also received a Bachelor of Media Arts (Animation Major) from Emily Carr University.

Cheers!

Burton made the six minute film over a two month period with his fellow animator at Disney, Rick Heinrichs. Vincent can be seen on the special edition DVD of The Nightmare Before Christmas, along with Burton's other short, Frankenweenie.

Extreme Delivery - A Lego Animation

The story:
A small band of rebels trapped deep within an imperial fortress. Their only hope is new supplies, but to get to them will require running the gauntlet of the imperial blockade and tenacious guards. Only one man could possibly make such an 'Extreme Delivery!' Using stop-motion block-animation, Exteme Delivery features heroes, villans and special-effects galore.

And this is what I think:

Hey Dudes, this is so ownage. Not one single glitch. The Stormtroopers are such lazy, beer-addicted, and they keep bothering each other for things that doesen't matter. The animations own, and this is special effects heaven. The sound effects pwn. And the plot twist at the end.

It was slow in some parts but it was pretty cool. It must of took lots of patients and hours to do it! Great Job and funny too! Keep it up, bud.

Elephants Dream

Elephants Dream from Blender Foundation on Vimeo.

The story of two strange characters exploring a capricious and seemingly infinite machine. The elder, Proog, acts as a tour-guide and protector, happily showing off the sights and dangers of the machine to his initially curious but increasingly skeptical protege Emo. As their journey unfolds we discover signs that the machine is not all Proog thinks it is, and his guiding takes on a more desperate aspect.



Elephants Dream is a story about communication and fiction, made purposefully open-ended as the world's first 3D "Open movie". The film itself is released under the Creative Commons license, along with the entirety of the production files used to make it (roughly 7 Gigabytes of data). The software used to make the movie is the free/open source animation suite blender along with other open source software, thus allowing the movie to be remade, remixed and re-purposed with only a computer and the data on the DVD or download.
