Talking about YouTube – The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain – Life on Mars

 

This
was my contender for the best Life on Mars cover… but it is a little
bit light-hearted, but when they incorporate other songs, it sounds
amusing.

This
was the short I was working on for my dissertation, back in August 2008, which would be
edited into my first show reel showcasing my ‘recent’
animation work.
It is, currently,
the only film to feature my cartoon character, Biffy the Boxer.

Talking about YouTube – “Weird Al” Yankovic – Skipper Dan (HD)

 

I
have forgotten how much I enjoyed a good Weird Al song, and remember
watching the video when it first came out, and enjoying the graphical,
yet limited, approach to its animation, as well as the song itself.

Talking about YouTube – A-HAA: The Magic of Drawing 2

 

This excellent entry in the ASIFA  Hollywood Animation Archive blog
(http://www.animationarchive.org/?p=1012) goes into the how ‘magical’
doing a drawing can be to an unaware audience. He uses an example of a
live painter, as well as this entertaining segment from Penn and Tiller,
to make their case, whilst showcasing some stunningly simplistic
illustrations from Olaf Gulbransson. It’s worth a look.

Talking about YouTube – Electric Car – They Might Be Giants

 

I
have only heard about the new album release from They Might Be Giants
recently. This is probably the most memorable track from that album…
mainly because of the collage-looking animation aesthetics, which
you’re either going to love or have nightmares over its intense cuteness.
