  Chipotle Pictures: The Nuclear Genie

  (Flash)
  [ 3:00 - from YouTube ]

  The most fascinating part of this video for me is that it was produced, written, cast, directed, and edited by Erik Choquette who formed Chipotle Pictures, a student run film company, in 2007 at the ripe old age of 16. This *MULTIPLE AWARD-WINNING* entry was entered into both the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation's 2009 Swackhammer Disarmament Video Competition, and the 2009 "W.M.D. - We Must Disarm" International Video Contest hosted by the United Nations. The film won the grand prize in the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation contest for the second year in a row. The film was awarded second place in the "W.M.D. - We Must Disarm" video competition. view

  BrotherSister - "Still Run"

  (3D)
  [ 2:42 - from Vimeo ]

  To compete with the many forms of media flowing across the Internet, music video has come to feature some of the most original animation and graphics art in the industry. “Still Run” is a song by Australian band BrotherSister. The video includes both 2D animation and 3D modeling. Great use of visuals to enhance a song of equal quality. view

  Get Your War On: Chaos!

  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 1:42 - from 23/6 ]

  David Rees has turned his popular clip-art comic into a fantastic animated series. Featuring the voice of Jon Glaser, who's involved with several Adult Swim shows, the humor is bleak and often very depressing - but in a good way. view

  What Would Jesus NOT Do?

  (Flash)
  [ 8:40 - from YouTube ]

  This hilarious and caustic animation of God speaking to his angels in preparation for his incarnation on Earth as his own begotten Son is a shocking, funny and sobering take on religious beliefs. As I watch the unfolding effects of the unimaginable disaster in Haiti, it's difficult not to question what kind of God would take the poorest country in our hemisphere and two years after a devastating hurricane, raze it with an earthquake killing almost all the UN peacekeepers, while also freeing the most savage gangs from prison to return to terrorize the surviving population. view

  Escalator Animation

  (Experimental)
  [ 1:07 - from YouTube ]

  Sometimes it's fun for me to see art peices on YouTube that have nothing to do with selling a product or service, just some random video that looks fun for the heck of it. Or could there be product placement in there...? view

  Happy Hour

  
  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 6:42 - from Vimeo ]

  Great 2D animation about this shy guy and his dreams about the lady next to him. Nice traditional animation with some 3D details incorporated into the environment and some extreme camera angles to express the character's feelings. view

  (3D)
  [ 7:14 - from Vimeo ]

  This animation makes a totally different use of the 3D, even if it looks a little like 2D (we don't see this that often). Thanks to the detail and textures of their movement, you can easily identify with the characters and the ambiance; the story is easy to understand as well, even if you don't speak French.  This kind of animation shows that render experiments are good if you have a solid artistic base and a good art director. view
