Doll Face: Andrew Huang
I watched Doll Face a while back during Siggraph, liked it so here it is.
A Sufi Tale: Gayle Thomas
There are times when one feels like watching films that at one point in life were major inspirations. Here is one.
Oceansize: Supinfocom
Four students worked on this short. Amazing work.
MON(S)TRE: Anthony LE SAOÛT, Daphné PARROT, Yann POYAC, Geoffroi RIDEL, Charles SCHNECK
What more can I say about these young guys coming up with such wonderful animated worlds.
Après la Pluie: Gobelins
Another one of the student's film form Gobelins. I like the design and execution of the story.
Perspectives: Georges Schwizgebel
Born in Reconvilier, Switzerland, in 1944, Georges Schwizgebel is among the biggest name in contemporary animation. This well-rounded author of 15 short films has seen his work pick up prizes at Cannes, Annecy, Zagreb, Hiroshima, Stuttgart, Ottawa and Espinho. Two of his films-78 R.P.M. (1985) and The Ride to the Abyss (1992)- rank among the hundred most influential animated films on a list published by the Festival d’Annecy in 2006. The Man without a Shadow (2004), his first collaboration with the National Film Board, garnered 19 international awards. Though he first used rotoscoping (Perspectives, 1975: Off-side, 1977), Schwizgebel later traded in this tool for a freer approach marked by the gestural application of colour and the frequent use of geometric shapes (Fugue, 1998; The Young Girl and the Clouds, 2000).
La maison en petits cubes: Kunio Kato
Here is the brilliant La maison en petits cubes, 2009 winner at the Oscars. I love Kato's work.
