Animated stuff I’ve been diggin’ lately

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Here are a few animated videos that I’ve enjoyed recently. I also want to mention here the animated short film Pigeon Impossible, which is not available online right now. I was lucky enough to see a screening of it at my school Flashpoint Academy a couple weeks ago. The film’s creator Lucas Martell was there and did a Q & A session after the film. He’s a really cool guy (from Texas!), as well as a persistent one (it took him five years to make the film). He also has a really cool, tutorial-style video podcast about the film and how he made it.

Alas, I cannot share the film with you on my blog until it has made its way through the film fest circuit. Until then, I’ll have to settle for sharing the videos below.
