Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
A Goa trance track from Loud’s album No More X

Otto the Monster feasts on the Dodos (who look a lot like kiwis) until a small, white mouse unites them to escape. This Boschian-styled tale is from The Blackheart Gang.
This short is supposed to be the middle part of The Dodo Trilogy, which is, in turn, part of a larger work called The Household. Unfortunately this is the only portion I could find and I’m unsure if any other parts were actually made.
Your Friday Occasional Rogue Video is a great example of Goa Trance, also known as Psytrance, and is one of the few animations in this genre that isn’t simply pattern morphing or visualization generated stuff.
Goa is a very small state along the west coast of India with about one and a half million residents. Besides having a history that dates back 30,000 years, it is also the birthplace of Goa Trance, a music genre that shows up on my personal playlist quite often. (usually in the form of infected mushroom)
The animation is from the folks at the Animation and Art School Goa using drawings by the highly respected Goan cartoonist Mario Miranda.
A playful animated romp turns sour when interrupted by an unwanted guest in this homage to early 20th Century animation.
From the brilliant folks at the Royal Observatory Greenwich who know a bit about measuring things.
Wonderfully drawn, Angst is a story about a boy who has a well-founded fear of the wind.

Spring and Fall for several years we had baby squirrels in a box atop the fridge and, while they did have piercing whistles, none of them sounded off quite like my favorite rantful squirrel, Foamy.

And, sadly, Squirrelapalooza comes to a close. While we are certain to see Foamy here again, soon probably, it will take some time to track down enough animations to throw another Squirrelapalooza. I know you’re looking forward to it so much that I’ll be barraged with comments pleading for it’s quick return, but please be patient, it takes time to gather nuts…
Traumdeutung: German; Interpretation of dreams
Dreams, squirrels and videotapes. A man dreams of a squirrel and then – backed up by battery of machines – mounts an inquiry into the apparition of squirrels in other people’s dreams. Traumdeutung is an animation about the global reserve of dreams while crossing the border between documentary and surreal. via
Animation from Fellowland
(at least squirrelapalooza isn’t a dream, eh?)
