Awesome animation. Thanks Wolfgang Matzl.
Beautiful sensibility skillfully done. Stop frame animation can be so much fun. The unfolding head/dream is so smart. Enjoy. Found this at Salon magazine thanks to Marjorie Grigonis.

Read MorePost it notes continue to work their way into different parts of our lives. Their not so stickiness encourages us to use them in all kinds of unexpected ways. Their uniformity is another excellent attribute. Even the straight-lined challenged can line post-its up in a grid.

Read MoreI have always loved poetry. It has drawn some of the most vivid pictures I have ever seen. In this case Ronnie Bruce a film student at Temple University visualizes the words of poet Taylor Mali using typography and animation. In its’ execution we do not lose sight of the meaning or the picture they draw — we gain new insight into the pacing and tone as the poet speaks.

This little film realizes the potential of communicators when they do good work. It is not spectacular. It is not just clever. It speaks, we think, and understand.

This is a Japanese video of the process.

A sad day for Gumby and Pokey. Art Clokey, the animator who created the lovable, bendable clay creation Gumby over a half-century ago, died. Many a saturday morning was spent cereal bowl in hand watching the green guy and his orange pony pal.
It was Eddie Murphy’s SNL Gumby sketch 40 years after the birth of Gumby that finally created some financial reward to Art. The cultural icon is still popular today and has even moved into the new world of social media — Gumby has over 134,000 fans on Facebook.
hulu.com currently has some Gumby available for viewing.
