Wildlife Project, Dir: Karolina Sobecka, 2007



Wildlife is an art installation by Karolina Sobecka. The way it works is that animation is projected on the walls of the city from a moving car, the animation adjusts itself to the speed of the car. In this a tiger runs faster when the car goes faster and stands still and looks around when the car is stopped. It's quite clever and interesting. It would be nice to see it pushed further in the interaction.

"Elephant Girl", Dir: David Lobser, 2007



"Elephant Girl" is a short film directed by David Lobser. There is a little of Ray Ceasar in the design, but not as detailed, and something of a David Lynch fascination... But overall it's quite pleasant.

Dreaming of Lucid Living, Dir: Miwa Matreyek, 2007


Dreaming of Lucid Living is a performance/installation piece directed by Miwa Matreyek. Her CalArt graduation film last year had caught my attention. This piece, built like a shadow puppet theatre, integarting live performance and animation, is quite poetic and quirky with nicely composed visuals.

"Un Jour Ordinaire", Dir: Yue Wu, 2006



This is a great hand drawn animation short film, in fact a graduation short... directed by Yue Wu. It follows a young man walking down the street, his headphones on and just day dreaming... I thought it was really good and cool for a graduation project.

I had forgotten about this lovely piece of animation directed by Kristofer Strom.




He has just directed this lovely campaign for Zonatura... I know I'm a sucker for any silly little character with a quirky voice... oh well...

Beat Crusaders "Tonight, Tonight. Tonight", Dir: 小島淳平, 2007



Now this is an interesting way to make a band fly off their feet... The band is famous for always hiding behind masks with their real faces on, this is just taking it to another level. It is just great...
The video won Best Rock Video in Japan at the Space Shower Music Video Awards this year.
