Some frighteningly beautiful claymation and painting by Allison Schulnik.

Woah.

A subtle and smart short film from a recent Royal College of Art animation graduate. There's a couple more of his animations on youtube. Make sure and watch Death is a matter of mathematics. 

How is it that I’ve never seen this before? Apparently I don’t spend too much time on Salon.com or The Huffington Post, who respectively named it one of the “Films of the Decade” and one of the five "most innovative animated films of the past ten years." Anyway, it made me smile. So there.

Really lovin’ the analog 3D work of Grand Rapids-based illustrator Rebecca Green—especially the City of Lumbourg series. The aesthetic falls somewhere between the work of Tim Burton and the Brothers Quay, and a little birdie told me that a stop-motion translation is in the works.

If you've seen this already, I am sorry. I saw this first the time recently and I couldn't believe how awesome it was (especially this video for Coinstar). I quickly lost an hour of my day watching the incredible stop motion work by PES.
