Les Trois Inventeurs [x]

Paperman by Disney is a wordless tale of romance between two strangers in mid-century New York City, the movie is a simple construct, supremely well-rendered, and in black-and-white, except for a few crucial blotches of red lipstick.

‘A Mermaid’s Tale’ is an animation by my brother Luke and his girlfriend Sophie Merry. It is both his first animation- as well as their first collaboration together- and it has turned out rather beautiful if I may say so myself!

The Eagleman Stag / 2011 BAFTA award winning stop-motion animation by Mikey Please

“This is one of the most incredible animations I have ever seen. Mikey Please sent me over a link to his latest film The Eagleman Stag and it is a masterpiece. What you are about to see is not a computer animation, it’s a stop-motion animation using thousands of handmade foam models.

Peek behind the scenes, here.”
