Since I recently experienced a big load of traffic from VJing related blogs and from Japan, I thought I could post something that can appeal to them.
Japan is a visual piece that shows a city changing from a rural area to a metropolis.

Another fine work of claymation by Peter Lord, here before with Adam. And another piece of my childhood goes in the mosaic.

Hi guys! Welcome back to Gondryland! :P Here’s the video you’ve probably seen around but, since Partizan made it available again at its place, I thought I could use the situation at our advantage.

As I threatened before, I’ve made a couple of other posts for Floria’s Day, namely: Most High on Ticklebooth and Blue on antville. Also, Jaymis gave its contribution on Create Digital Motion.
Now I’ll (try to) slow down posting so that your modems can breath a little…

Time to move, time to go on with Floria’s day. Here’s one of the clips that, back in the days, made a video addicted out of me. Obviously, at the time, I ignored about the director being Floria Sigismondi. That would came later…
Awesome, cinematic, visionary, scattered, highly disorientating, meta-something, and [...]

Over Time is an amazing short movie written, directed, animated and edited by three Supinfocom students: Oury Atlan, Thibaut Berland and Damien Ferrié. An obvious hommage to Jim Henson.
