Just noticed that over at fxguide they have a really interesting interview. Here is the info.

A conversation with Gareth Edwards, director of Attila the Hun, about how he completed over 250 visual effects shots for the film using a combination of After Effects, Premiere, MochaAE, 3dsMax, and more.

And here is the link. Listen

This animated film is an adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment. Rather dark and depressing but these spotlight films are mainly about the animation.

Some how I started thinking of watching all the animated short films that had been nominated for Academy Awards to date. So looking around I finaly found a list. (See Below) And with a little searching on Youtube you can watch most of these right now. Enjoy!

This is a nice little short thats the back story to a game I believe. It was done by CHASE animation studio in London.

As I am doing lots of research I am finding lots of interesting animated shorts etc so I thought I would start posting them. This one is a very clever United Airlines - Commercial. You can watch it below and you can find a higher res version and a making of featuret HERE

While doing research on animation I found a documentary on the Russian animator Yuri Norstein. Its well worth watcthing if you are interested in animation at all.
