Ivan the Terrible

Crazy good visual effects for a short film. Nice combination of Karate Kid and Tron for your viewing pleasure.

Whoaa! This is one of the finest progressive animations I’ve seen in my day. Clean colors and groovy song. Love all the tentacle animations. Overall cool concept and execution.

This short is quite simply brilliant due to its originality. It’s got a nice mixture of animation and live action. I’m glad to see there are still original ideas in this world, now I’ve got to go think of mine.

I’ve never seen such beautifully styled 3D. The watercolor look really fits nicely with the story and music.

This is overwhelmingly awesome! I haven’t looked at much 3D stuff lately, but damn did this blow me away. Literally (yes I know, cheesy!). I would have to say my favorite part was when the bridge gets blown up. Alright I gotta watch it one more time.

Mesmerizing to say the least. Enjoy!

I came across this website with a nice collection of beautifully creative music videos.

Here’s another one of the music videos featured on colonelblimp.com:

Well, I’ve tried figuring out how this was done, but I haven’t come up with any ideas yet. Catchy song and a cool concept. If you’ve got any clues of how this effect was achieved let me know!

I’m a huge fan of animated type. This is a brilliant marriage of upbeat music and bright colors to illustrate a point. A bit fast paced but the beat of the music demands it. Did I mention how much I love the colors? So good!

The combination of music and patterned backdrops work beautifully to create a nicely themed piece. Even with just quick cuts, this looks really nice. I myself enjoy working with vintage wallpaper patterns, they have a warmth about them.
