Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
I’ve posted several films by Ringling College of Arts + Design students over the years. The animation is good; lighting, models, background detail, all excellent, as they should be. But it’s the stories that consistently make Ringling films shine. This is another wonderful little tale.
A macho toy arcade prize is quick to judge a young girl who wants to win him, and goes on a life changing journey in attempt to stop her from winning enough tickets and taking him home.

A fine film for a Friday Night Music Video. This slick track has echos of Bowie that well compliments animation that has echos of Moebius.
It is a stylish tale of synergy – rather extreme synergy. The youtube comments offer some quite imaginative hypotheses on the story’s characters and meaning, but I’ll leave it for you to decide that for yourself. Otherwise, just enjoy a great music video.
A beautifully styled tale that spans a lifetime. One of those films that offers a different meaning each time you watch.
One day, a group of blue fish flying over the town, since then the boy began a lifetime waiting. Tall buildings grew around the town and he also gradually used up in the Circular work, However , those flying fishes never come back. Finally , In the snow, he met them again in a special way.
Graduation film by Harry Zhou at Kongji University College of Arts and Media.
A persistent beggar and a flock of pigeons wage a running, riding, and flying battle across turn-of-the-last-century Paris for a food delivery driver’s dish. This could end badly…
Another great short from the students at Ringling College. By Yoonsun Hyun and Kyoyoung Na.
[A]n outcast Walnut named Walter has to fight against the vicious Nutcracker to save his world.
Another excellent track from Animusic for a Friday night music video. This is off their first video collection released in 2001.
This is a lively romp somewhere in the universe and it puts a bit of a spin on panspermia. Beautifully rendered with great characters.

Deep in the harsh and dreary countryside, a boy’s world crumbles around him. Grief, sorrow and rage torment the boy’s heart without mercy. The boy journeys to the limits of his world in a desperate attempt to stop the inescapable beast that stand between him and his flesh and blood.
This haunting little film packs a lot in for me and seems to leave room for a wide spectrum of interpretations. From the talented folks at The Animation Workshop.
I’ve been an Animusic fan since they released their first compilation in 2001. I wore out the vhs tape and almost a second one before finally getting a dvd. Animusic 2 raised the bar even further. This track is a great example of just how enjoyable Animusic is.
Unfortunately it looks like Animusic 3 won’t get made, despite a funded Kickstarter a few years back. We can only hope someone picks it up.
Check out the original Pipe Dream video.
It’s hard to compete with big mountains of oil, gold, or fire, especially when you’re just a small mountain that only has, well, Some Thing…
