RIP Ray Harryhausen 1920 - 2013… you will be missed by all! A pioneer of stop motion and a massive influence for everyone. My childhood is full of enjoyment from watching your films.
Chavdar Yordanov - Schrodinger’s cat
This is simply amazing animation, whilst searching for 2d animations involving cats i stumbled upon it and it just kind of makes me hate the guy who animated it :) He definitely deserves praise for creating such a wonderful piece though.
Time to kick up the pace i think… looking forward to see what else this guy brings out and best wishes.

Clever Animation Created out of Drawings from a Life Drawing Class
really great idea, reminds me of a zoetrope in action!
Mark Nelson - The Jockstrap Raiders
Definitely an interesting animation based around WWI. A band of misfits from Leeds Rugby club become the last line of defense against the invading German Army overseas. Worth watching for the amusing nature of this short.
Created by Instructor/Director, Jaime Maestro, and students from PrimerFrame Academy. Translated as “The Smoke Seller.”
I was planning on posting this a while back when i 1st saw it but have just been distracted and doing alot of personal things. But it still deserves a post on here, its a very well constructed storyline which makes it a very easy watch.. the end made me chuckle a lot. kinda reminds me of a Del Trotter type selling his bunch of faulty goods!
please watch…
Animal (Teaser Trailer) - Mélanie Tourneur
Very lovely flowing animation and the design is very pleasing, cant wait to see the full short.
Really nice, smooth stop motion animated short, made by Graduate Timothy Reckart. It is a beautiful story about an old married couple losing touch whilst living in the same space, remembering what they once had together and finally finding their way back to each other.
Watch it now, Limited time online.
The Qumarion is a mannequin input device developed to simplify the manipulation and posing of human-like 3D CG models on screen.
This looks so cool cant believe i have only just stumbled across this!!! would make creating 3d animations as simple as stop-motion, opens up a world of possibilities i think.

Ted - Seth Macfarlane’s first feature film coming July 13th 2012
looks hilarious! Bad ass teddy bear going about his daily business with his childhood buddy, Mark Wahlberg. Must see…
The Room - Christian Jason Smith
Im not overly keen on this as an animation, but because i been playing with the idea of a guy trapped in a room that has its on will, its got the same kind of concept but helps with what i shouldnt do with mine.
Reach - by Luke Randall
A tiny robot is given the gift of life with only one limitation, the length of his power cable. When a curious bird appears at the workshop window, the robot feels a lust to live outside of his reach that may be his demise.
Again a nice simple idea made really well, it does make it very obvious in whats going to happen but i like that fact about it, quite straight forward.
