Orion Tait, Kurt Koch and Thomas Schmid – all employees of the super-talented crew over at Buck – put this together for the Psst Pass It On series. It’s silly, strange, bizarre and fun which, coincidentally, is just how I like it.

”[A peacock’s] large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird’s back and touches the ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their mates according to the size, color, and quality of these outrageous feather trains. Learn more about peacocks/peahens/peafowl on wikipedia.

IMPACTIST (a.k.a. Kelly Meador & Daniel Elwing) are, “a directing duo with a diverse background in film production, design, animation, music, and the fine arts.” Their music reminds me a lot of Tycho and Ulrich Schnauss but is wholly unique in it’s whimsy, playfulness and minimalism. It’s very very nice, really. The little promotional videos they create to highlight what they are up to are a treat as well; I especially love how they combine ‘crunchy’ mediums like Super 8 with exacting colorful and modern geometric animations.

Mike Crozier spent some time interning at Stockholm design house, SNASK, during which he produced this stop-motion promotional video. No special effects, no tricks, just 1846 individual photos taken over the course of four days then stitched together. Well done, sir.
P.S. Just a heads up: there’s a brief NSFW moment at 1:01 so just make sure the boss isn’t looking over your shoulder, OK?

I know I’ve been on a Gobelins kick recently but, with content like this available, I’m sure you don’t mind.
These four films – Monstera Deliciosa, Le Lac Gelé, Fenrir and Dodudindon – were shown at the start of each session of Annecy 2009 and created by students finishing their second year at Gobelins. It’s crazy to think they can create films of this caliber already so I’m looking forward to what they’ll produce during the remainder of their time at school and in the years that follow.

Facts feed brains, that’s a fact.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Tor Even Mathisen took some great time lapse sequences of the Aurora Borealis show in Tromsø, Norway and then stitched them together into a video and backed it with the ethereal music of Per Wollen and Silje Beate Nilssen. Dim the lights for this one.
