Mac 'n' Cheese

Mac 'n' Cheese from Mac 'N' Cheese on Vimeo.

Mac 'n' Cheese is an animated short directed and created by four students at the Utrecht School of Arts in the Netherlands. This roughly two minute animation took about five months to make, and about a bajillion peanut butter sandwiches.

Synopsis: When you find yourself running scared and running out of energy, there's only a few options left to outrun your opponent through the southern desert. Stopping at nothing, watch these two guys wear each other out and rip through boundaries hitherto unbroken. Enjoy the ride!

DANIELS – “PUPPETS”

PUPPETS - Daniels from F5 on Vimeo.

ummm whoah...

“RE:PLAY is a wonderful chance to be creative with no boundaries.  When given total freedom as a storyteller, we (daniel&daniel) found ourselves battling between a desire to make something meaningful and honest and a desire to make something perverted (which is also in our case honest).  Entirely by accident, Puppets became a perfect analogy for our self aware creative process.  But mostly it’s lots of butt jokes.”

Massimo Ottoni hand painted every frame on glass, gets really good around 1:10

From the muscician:

The video is an animation by artist/animator Massimo Ottoni. Massimo used an experimental animation technique called “paint-on-glass”. Every single frame is hand painted on glass (he’s been locked away in his camera room for months). I recorded the first half of the song singing and playing directly in my mobile phone, in the garden, and then added the rest of the arrangement in my home studio.


I am an independent Italian singer-songwriter. My primary instrument is the guitar, but I play almost everything I need to record my songs: piano, bass guitar, banjo, drums.  Dream Song, the opening song of my first self-released album (Dreamsongs).

another animation workshop short...

I just love this one too!

An animated short film by: Peter Lopes Andersson

STORY:
A kid with a pent-up anger and a dinosaur in his pocket gets fed up with adults. A rock n´ roll animation short about not loving your neighbour.

I have a friend working on a new animated show for MTV.  Evidently, MTV is bringing back Beavis and Butthead and developing some new shows for their animated segments like they used to have in the 80's.  This piece would fit into that bit nicely.  I encourage the filmmakers/animators to submit!

In this post apocalyptic Heavy Metal film you will be sucked into an Ocean of flames, grease and dirty monster walkers, where the Biker Oatmeal and the gentleman Orson Wheels will fight in a mad race across the Red fields of Mars in search of the last gas station on this desolate planet.

This school is not only teaching animation, but they are teaching film making!  I do not question why it was animated and not live action, like I do so many animated movies today with more adult themes.  LOVE IT!

Salma

Another great animated short from The Animation Workshop in Denmark -

Bachelor film project 2011 from The Animation Workshop.

Story
Salma is a film about a girl living in a land recovering from war. One day her father dies in a cluster bomb accident. This tragic event shrouds her mind and leaves her desperate and lost in a world she does no longer recognize.

By: Anders Friis Christiansen, Martin Sand Vallespir, Kirsten R. Grann, Michael Nielsen, Astrid M. Lauridsen, Rikke Skovgaard

The experimental nature of the work I have seen so far come out of this school is so refreshing.  Everything the school produces also looks different, the storytelling goes beyond intentions for a young audience or just gags... there is real meat in there - a message!  I also love how they push the boundaries of what animation can be... rather than a repeat cookie cutter of what commercial animation is today.  Love it!
