Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
This is apparently from a series of Russian animations about bugs. Nice, simple 3D animation set in natural environments set to a mellow soundtrack. Nicely done. While it’s not overtly educational, there is a slight danger you might learn something accidentally.
The story picks up after an unexplained disagreement between two brothers, Goat and Aaron. To work out their differences, they take a hike together. The beauty of nature brings them back together, but the violence in Goat’s heart can’t be controlled and it pulls him under. via

In celebration of the rain’s return, a wonderful little short by Zheng Yawen.
I grew up here in Seattle and, like many of my fellow damp and mildewed citizens, I tend to get kind of squirrely if we go a couple weeks without even a drizzle. We are the “Rain City” after all.
Through yesterday Seattle had been adding to the record for the longest dry(ish) stretch in recorded weather history. Over 82 days we collected a mere 3/100ths of an inch (0.03″) of measurable rain. Until last night. Finally.
Welcome back, rain, I missed you!
Let’s start off the weekend right, shall we? (i said weekend, this is not safe for work at all. i mean it, nsfw. wait till you get home and actually start your weekend, ok? good)

Though disturbing in its amalgamations, it’s brilliant in its animation.
Hominid is an animated teaser based on the Hominid series of photo composites by Brian Andrews. The photographic series has been exhibited internationally, including at SIGGRAPH, in the Hong Kong Exhibition Center, and at numerous galleries and museums. via
