Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
I love the style of this stop-motion short. The story is great fun too!
Somewhere near the hall of Brétigny-sur-Bizet, in front of a raging crowd, the most outstanding dogs face each other to measure their talents and strengths. Among them is Sweetheart, encouraged by the best and most noisy crowd. Will he triumph in this hard competition?
Animated by Chloe Alliez.
Pomposity doesn’t always live up to circumstance, and sometimes that slide into sin is quite the ride.
Two eccentric nuns arrive late at the Holy Mass and get expelled from the service. While doing a cleaning chore as punishment, they accidentally break a valuable liturgical object. Full of regrets, they try everything to repair their mistake, but nothing goes as expected.
A giggle-worthy short from Isart Digital.
A blend of different animation styles, quick patter, and a broken 4th wall make this short great – unless you’re a 3D animation student.
In a hospital for animated characters, a classic 2d doctor and a clay animation nurse must operate on a broken 3d model.

I love me some Goldfish and this one adds to the pile o’ videos we have posted here already. Perfect for a Friday Night music video.
An act of kindness by a young homeless girl is repaid with the help of a lively group of cans. A simple story and an exhilarating romp.

Puzzles need to be solved, and some are more proactive about it than others. The puzzle in this case is a wonderful character.

Bendy, the dancing demon, stars in this animated musical welcoming Henry home to one hell of a show. I’ve found several music videos featuring Bendy and other characters from the horror/puzzle game Bendy and the Ink Machine, but I like this one the best.
Animation by SquigglyDigg, arrangement and music by Gabe Castro.
Even zombies can have a bad time of it – especially when confronted with age and experience.

ESMA is another college whose students consistently put out high quality and award-winning animations. Based in France and, as of 2018, Montreal, Canada.
This is an allegory of creation, that tenuous connection between muse and man, and the struggle to create. Here, the man and muse keep trying and failing until, finally, one of their creations takes bloom. I’ve felt the disappointment of malformed art that you just can’t shape right no matter how hard you try. I’ve also felt ‘the flow’ – that timeless place where the ideas and words are all there and jump and dance into perfect sentences and fluid stories. This felt like that.
