Seikei Gakuen – Projection Mapping

This excellent example of projection mapping is from November 2011 and celebrates the 100th anniversary of Seikei Gakuen (Seikei University) in Kichijoji, Japan (near tokyo). The backdrop is one of the campus buildings (though i don’t know which building it is), and is 20 by 70 meters.

Flip The Frog in Fiddlesticks

Flip the Frog was created by Ub Iwerks in 1930 and the cartoon Fiddlesticks was Flip’s debut. If the style looks and feels familiar it’s because Ub Iwerks was the creator of Mickey Mouse and set the tone for all early Disney animation.

Besides the pedigree, this animation itself was the first sound and color animation when it was released in August 1930.

The End is a Beginning – Sean Pecknold

Marvelous, Keen Loony Bin

This beautiful little film reminds me a bit of Bill Plympton‘s stuff; hand drawn and shaded, most notably, and incorporating completely bizarre twists to things in the midst of an everyday background.

This short has won multiple student and festival awards for director and animator Lizzi Akana.
