Happy New Year

Lovely little video by Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing a Nancy Wilson song, 'what are you doing New Years Eve?' The video went viral after being posted on Zooey's blog HelloGiggles. I definitely want to watch 500 days of summer again after seeing this. The video is really sweet, hopefully they will be doing many more collaborations. Wishing you all a Happy new Year!

The Bicycle Animation

Really interesting project from Katy Beveridge looking into the way animation is made. Her work is an exploration into the proto animation and zoetrope techniques showing you can animation in real time. When I first saw this it reminded me of Nexus Production's dircetor Jim Le Ferve's project creating a zoetrope using blue tack. You can see his work here http://vimeo.com/5507203. Katy's bicycle animation is really nicely put together, and very creative. I could see these being sold as bicycle accessories! I would definitely want one! You can see Katy's blog here http://www.katybeveridge.com/ 


"With my work I wanted to take it to the point where the whole animation, including the mechanism was all human driven. In such I hope to share with the viewer the exciting technical aspects of animation, that magical moment where we see something come to life for the first time, an experience usually limited to animators alone." 

Lovely Owl

I found this video on youtube the other day, this owl is just so cute! He looks like he is in heaven, if it was a cat it would definitely be purring very loud! I asked mum if I could have him for christmas and she replied, shes already booked the turkey for dinner, mean. The video has gone viral recently, its funny how this happens so fast! Enjoy!
