Make You own Avatat

Ok I might not quite be able to reproduce this yet myself, but most of the techniques he appears to use are recognisable to me and I believe anyone with a competent knowledge of Photoshop.
I came across it on this Avatar obsessed blogg, which is in itself quite interesting.

Birth of an AVATAR from Peter Ammentorp Lund on Vimeo.

Skhizein

I also came across this whilst looking up links for the cat piano this morning. Skhizein by French animator Jeremy Clapin.

Skhizein (Jérémy Clapin,2008) from Bertie on Vimeo.

This is an absolutely fantastic premise:

"After being struck by a 150-ton meteorite, Henry has to adapt to living precisely 91 centimeters from himself."

The Cat Piano

Check this out, The Cat Piano. It was created by the Australian team, The Peoples Republic of- Animation. I thoroughly enjoyed watching... and listening to this piece of work. Gotta love Nick Caves voice. I need to look further into this but is Nick Cave a big animation fan, he is working on this but also the last time I came across him was when I heard about a collaboration between him and Mark Craste of Studio AKA?

Trevor Hardy

I made a post that Included some of Trevor's work yesterday that didn't go into much depth.
I will correct that now. You can find his website here. He also has a few more lovely short films posted their. Hope you enjoy.

Madame Tutli Putli

WOW, just watched this short film. Looks absolutely gorgeous and so intense to boot.
I wanted to watch this 18 months ago at the film festival in Auckland but missed my chance.
Forgot about it until now. I just find it amazing how beautiful the puppets face looks in some of the shots. Go here to find out about the woman behind Madam Tutli Putli's eyes. Also Jason Walker's site demonstrates how the eyes were compossited onto the puppet. It goes into considerable depth.

The film has its own site here where you can find out more about the crew, the production and the directors/ animators Maciek Szczerbowski and Chris Lavis.
