Pocket Noodle - Eventually, everything connects

Logorama – Oscar nominated animated short from French design house H5.

Pivot – Love the minimalist style of this animated short produced for the KORT! 2009 project.

Best TV programme for me this Christmas, the BBC’s production of the children’s classic, ‘The Gruffalo‘. Fantastic animation by Studio Soi.

• RFF Commercial – Lovely illustration/animation work from Leah Chun.
• The Wind Car – Innovation on a budget from Dale Vince founder of Ecotricity.
• PeePoople – Inventive solution to a global problem.
• Article Skimmer – News display prototype from the New York Times.

Excellent animation created by Lars Edwards for Art Spiegelman’s new book Be A Nose!, a collection of three of his sketchbooks – one from 1979, one from 1983, and one from 2007.

Looking forward to this in February. Coraline the stop-motion stereoscopic 3-D adaption of Neil Gaiman’s book and directed by Henry Selick (Nightmare Before Xmas). The incredible animation work is by Laika who along with advertising agency Weiden+Kennedy have been guerilla marketing the film by sending out some fantastic handmade boxes as well as leaving button keys in major cities.
