Way of the Morris Cinema Release
Back in March I travelled out to Austin, Texas for the SXSW film festival and met up with director/actor/writer Tim Plester to chat about the feature documentary he co-directed with Rob Curry Way of the Morris. I had the pleasure of viewing Tim’s poignant exploration of his heritage whilst out there but if you’re in [...]
Flashman: The Proposition
We’ve featured the work of Airside animator Jack Cunningham a couple times before (MARS! & Stuff & Things) on DN, but his clean geometric promo created for the ‘jazz-folk-techno musical collaboration’ Flashman is my favourite – and the most soothing – yet. Flashman — The Proposition from Airside on Vimeo.
Resistance 3
Following on from MarBelle’s “I’m far from a big gamer” post the other day, I’m also far from a big gamer (unless you count World of Goo on the iPad), but Spov Design + Moving Image’s animated trailer for Resistance 3 has definitely caught my attention. It’s simple red, black and white animation feels like a [...]
Yowie and the Magpie
A hunter’s obsession seals his fate in a darkly comic animated tale of man versus monster. Yowie And The Magpie from dylan white on Vimeo.
Get Down
Three short animations, 1600 hand-drawn frames of animation coloured with highlighters, one great tribute to Arnie. The Schwarzenegger Trilogy from Brainbow on Vimeo.
Epic Rap Battles of History
What better way to kick off the weekend than with a war of words between the Baird BARD and every kid’s favourite doctor in the latest episode of Epic Rap Battles of History. I couldn’t stop at just one, so here are a couple more classic battles.
Dinosaurs: 16bit
Using Flash & After Effects Kristofer Strom has created a music video which he describes as “sort of an epileptic trip” for 16bit track Dinosaurs.
Reading & Leeds 2011
It’s the start of the August Bank Holiday, the long weekend that annually plays host to the Reading and Leeds music festivals, which can only mean that the lucky folks heading to those two locations over the next few days are going to have the opportunity to sample the delights of the Directors Notes & [...]
DN215: It’s Natural To Be Afraid – Justin Doherty
So, almost 5 years ago the Directors Notes’ podcast was born and back then no one had heard of us so finding guests was a bit more challenging than it is today. Luckily for us all, director Justin Doherty had a great short and was willing to give us the benefit of the doubt by [...]
Flor Braier: You are so Apricot
We’re always pleased to see new work from Nico Casavecchia and his promo for Flor Braier’s You are so Apricot see’s a return to the whimsey of Buildings & Vampires, but this time realised with some live action visual trickery that leaves you with a warm glow. You are so apricot, by Flor Braier from [...]
