We have Ryan Fitzgerald to thank for sending in this David Lewandowski created weirdness. Strangely enough, David is the same guy who created the fantastic title sequence in Tron Legacy.

A generous helping of bizarre courtesy of Animatorio‘s stop-motion wizardry. It’s very Burton-esque and just the thing to get you into the Halloween spirit. Enjoy!
P.S. Click here for a behind the scenes look into how Neomorphus was created.

Three students from French graphics/animation school Supinfocom – Marc Bouyer, Max Loubaresse and Anthony Vivien – put together this fantastic, bizarre and gorgeously animated short about Pete, “the greatest salesman of all of Pickle City and beyond”. It’s deliciously weird and loads of fun – in fact, it reminds me of one of my all-time favorites, Freakazoid!. I’d love to see this get developed into a TV show or feature length movie. Enjoy!

Of all the suggestions that have been sent to the site over these past 10 months, this video is easily the most requested. So why has it taken so long for us to post it? Well we already kinda did. It was a prominent part of Animals and, since we could only ever find it in standard def, we felt as though it’d be a little redundant to feature it on it’s own.
Well, it turns out that the video’s director – the multi-talented lilfuch – recently uploaded it to his Vimeo account only three short months ago in full HD so I figured it was high time we gave this tasty bundle of electrons it’s own home on the site. Plus, as of tonight it’s only accrued a scant 1,400 views so let’s get this thing passed around. You’ve probably already seen it – odds are you’ve probably already sent it in – but believe me, Zodiac Shit always worth another viewing. Full screen and headphones (Flying Lotus!) friends; you know the drill. Enjoy!
Oh and be sure to check out lilfuch’s website. It’s chock-full with rad, colorful illustrations.

“In a quest for happiness, a giant creator cannot break away from its redundant abstractions. What could possibly be waiting in the exterior world, where light and opportunity thrives?”
Dave Hughes – the man at the center of the fantastic [adult swim] show, Off The Air – wrote in to say hello and suggest we check out this short film created by PepperMelon. It’s a potent dose of bizarre presented in gorgeous, colorful, high-definition so do yourself a favor let this one load full-screen before clicking play. Oh and grab your headphones while you wait for the bits travel through the tubes, the sound design by David Kamp is especially nice.
BONUS: Mr. Hughes also let us know that the latest episode of Off The Air, Dance, is available for your viewing pleasure. It’s just as rad and strange as the other two so make quick with the clicky-clicky. The Tripatorium™ loves you Dave, keep up the fantastic work!

“The authorities have always feared the animal buried deep down within us so they kept everyone from getting wind of this truth. People, who like me had found a ways to awaken these buried instincts, were driven away…”
Six third-year students – De François Barreau, Marion Delannoy, Claire Fauvel, Rachid Guendouze, Vincent Nghiem and Benoit Tranchet – at the esteemed French film school Gobelins created this fantastic animated short that reminds me (in all the best ways) of Mr. Hayao Miyazaki’s work. I’m confident you’ll enjoy it.

The creation of The Tripatorium™ was inspired by three videos in particular, sorted here in ascending importance: Kill Your Co-Workers, The Music Scene and The Parachute Ending. Those aforementioned music videos are the exact sort of thing I like to watch most: more than TV; more than movies; more than even Adventure Time and Regular Show (it’s true). They’re bundles of electrons that, when translated into patterns of rapidly flashing combinations of red, green and blue light, seem to massage every synapse within the entertainment processing neighborhood of my brain. My hope was that, if I shared them, I might find other people who felt the same way.
It turns out I have!
One of those people, Mark I., just wrote in with Birdy Nam Nam‘s latest video that, like it’s predecessor (the aforementioned The Parachute Ending) is packed with artwork from the talented Mr. Will Sweeney. However it was Machine Molle (and not Steve Scott) that provided direction this time around who, you might recall, was the production unit behind the excellent Sur Le Quai. It’s gorgeous, bizarre, trippy business friends. I hope it serves to improve your Saturday night. Cheers!
Thanks for the heads-up, Mark!

A story about growing up in the universe.
Oh shit! This might be, no joke, my new favorite video on the site. Scott Benson (he did episode 8 of the Animation Tag Attack) crafted this gorgeously animated music video for UK-based progressive electronic act, Rendezvous who were rad enough to give him complete creative freedom. PRO TIP for bands/clients who will work with Scott in the future: do the same, the man knows how to make some engaging watchables.
The overall narrative of human evolution is built through a series of brief, tightly edited vignettes (some lasting only a few seconds) that each inject a new unique dimension to the story while simultaneously advancing the overarching theme of how religion, spirituality and technology have the power to amplify and/or diminish our inner animal nature. Each one is polished to a high-sheen and a delight to take in (especially the gorgeous ‘shines’, bursts and abstracted geometric particle effects); this is one of those videos you’ll re-watch immediately after it ends.
If your reading this post in a dark room with nothing to do tomorrow: great! Click full screen, grab your headphones and enjoy. If you’re at work or have other stuff to do then do yourself a favor and bookmark this or leave yourself a note to watch it when you have the time to really enjoy what Mr. Benson has created. Enjoy!
Oh, right! I almost forgot! If you’re into process then don’t miss this write up on Scott’s blog where he goes into detail behind his thinking and motivation behind how and why he created The Murf.
P.S. If you liked this (which of course you did), I think you’ll also enjoy Thursday.

“The face paint animation film is made up of 4,816 separate stills. Each and every frame was hand-painted, shot, wiped off and redrawn, slightly differently for the next frame in order to create a seamless sequence. This time-consuming process involved the band members lying still for two consecutive days in a studio…more”
Ida Gronblom & Fabian Berglund (of W+K) and David Wilson (one of the many talented directors at Blinkink) were tapped by We Have Band to direct/create this stop motion music video for their tune, You Came Out. We likey.
