Acadamy animated short nominees

I was in the process of making a list of all 10 nominees along with embedded youtube links when I stumbled on a site which had done it all for me!

slashfilm


Here's the list:

• THE CAT PIANO, Eddie White and Ari Gibson, directors (The People’s Republic of Animation)
• FRENCH ROAST, Fabrice O. Joubert, director (Pumpkin Factory/Bibo Films)
• GRANNY O' GRIMM'S SLEEPING BEAUTY, Nicky Phelan, director, and Darragh O’Connell, producer (Brown Bag Films)
• THE KINEMATOGRAPH, Tomek Baginski, director-producer (Platige Image)
• THE LADY AND THE REAPER (La Dama y la Muerte), Javier Recio Gracia, director (Kandor Graphics and Green Moon)
• LOGORAMA, Nicolas Schmerkin, producer (Autour de Minuit)
• A MATTER OF LOAF AND DEATH, Nick Park, director (Aardman Animations Ltd.)
• PARTLY CLOUDY, Peter Sohn, director (Pixar Animation Studios)
• RUNAWAY, Cordell Barker, director (National Film Board of Canada)
• VARIETE, Roelof van den Bergh, director (il Luster Prods.)

If you can take the time to have a look at them, it'd interesting to have our own little vote! (mind you, most of the links are to just trailers, and at least one of them has been pulled since the nominations were announced). At least we can judge the look of them...

chinese Presto

Någon, eller några någonstans i kina har gjort en kopia på Presto.

Why oh why..?!

EDIT: I've now found out a little bit of the "why". Apparently it's a project from a school and they have done a whole bunch of other similar "artistic inspirations" of Kung Fu Panda and Wall-E

A quote from someone about this:

Yeah. I know in Chinese landscape painting, and a lot of other art forms over there, a huge part of the learning process is copying the master works in that field. Don't we all try to copy Pixar when we're learning character animation? I wouldn't get upset about it.

hahaha

ishida hiroyasu

sjukt hysteriskt 2d-kortfilm med 3d-bakgrunder. Mitt japanska är lite ringrostig, så jag vet egentligen inte vad det går ut på, men det är ju lätt att hitta på egen tolkning.

The Secret of Kells

Ser sjukt mysigt ut!

Kinovea - mediaspelare man kan rita i

Jag råkade stöta på en mediaspelare som man kan rita och skriva anteckningar i. Har inte prövat den så jätte mycket än, men den verkar inte så dum tycker jag. Den verkar tyvärr inte spela upp ljud.

Spana in den.
