Last night I was reading about 1950′s animation in Cartoon Modern and it mentioned some of the amazing modern animators coming out of Europe that were vastly different than the standard 19th century “Disney” style that was so prevalent in the US. One such animator was Ivan Ivanov-Vano whom collaborated with the likes of Shostakovich and Stravinsky. Take a moment today to watch Seasons by Ivan Ivanov-Vano , while it wasn’t produced in the 50′s and it isn’t the exact video I was looking for with the Shostakovich score, it’s still absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy!
Fairly simple video, but oh so much behind this new record by the Horrors. You may recall the Chris Cunningham video from their previous release.
Caught this video last night, pretty nice idea going on here visually. It gets good around the 2 minute point..
My man-crush Peter Saville gave an ever so existentialistic talk at D&AD. eye magazine has the write-up here.
We just finished a short film/edit using various clips from our stock motion collections titled Moire. Composed of patterns and hypnotic illusions, Moire may result in acid flashbacks from your teenage childhood or slight migraines when given to much concentration. Available in HD.

Just out a couple days ago, Squarepusher’s Just A Souvenir was released. I haven’t bought the album yet, but I have previewed it on itunes. It sounds a bit much for me, but maybe I will give it a go.
Billed as Ska, Rocksteady, Early Reggae, Calypso, Dub, Soul and some Roots Reggae, You & Me on a Jamboree serves up lots of rare treats for your musical pleasure.
Everyone needs help overcoming their mental blocks, that’s why there’s Oblique Strategies…
Oblique Strategies, was initially conceived by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt in 1975. It is a tool that consists of self-imposed dilemmas to help creative people push through mental blocks.
Take a look at Gregory Taylor’s website, which is completely devoted to Oblique Strategies, and includes the complete text from editions 1-4 of the card decks published by Eno, and Schmidt.
