Voice Actors Take Center Stage In New Documentary


(YouTube Link)

 I Know That Voice is not only the name of this documentary, which focuses on some of the most popular voice actors working today, it’s also what you’ll be saying the entire time you watch the trailer!

Finally, those who give our favorite animated characters a voice will get their day in the sun, and you can see that the old adage “a face for radio” doesn’t necessarily apply to the fine folks who work as voice actors.

My Apartment’s Very Clean Without You

Posted by Zeon Santos in Art & Design, Comics & Cartoons, Entertainment, Music, Video Clips on April 15, 2012 at 11:00 pm

(YouTube Link)

This adorable animated music video for the Garfunkel and Oates song My Apartment’s Very Clean Without You is brought to you by animator Deanna Rooney, who knows that the secret to success on the interwebs = lots and lots of kittehs!

My Apartment… is silly yet sentimental, and touched me in all of the appropriate places. Garfunkel and Oates play the songs that make my heart want to dance, if only my apartment wasn’t so darn cluttered!

The Chef From Burger Time Gets A New Job

Posted by Zeon Santos in Art & Design, Comics & Cartoons, Entertainment, Gaming, Video Clips on April 14, 2012 at 8:40 am

(YouTube Link)

The latest pixel animation video from Dorkly answers the age old question-What if the Burger Time chef had to get a new job, at a restaurant that doesn’t even make hamburgers?

The answer is, of course, rather ridiculous, but I guarantee it will make you want to play some Burger Time! Ow, I got pepper in my eye!

The Rotoscoped Evil Dead

Posted by Zeon Santos in Art & Design, Comics & Cartoons, Entertainment, Film, Video Clips on April 12, 2012 at 12:08 am

(YouTube Link)

Rotoscoping is a tedious process that involves animating over a live action film frame by frame, which means it took waaaaaay too long to rotoscope this trailer for the horror classic The Evil Dead.

And, while the end result is pretty cool looking and fun to watch, it’s highly unlikely that PFR Studios will be rotoscoping any more of the film, because this bit is almost three years old!

The Backstreet Fellowship Boys

Posted by Zeon Santos in Entertainment, Film, Music, Video Clips on April 10, 2012 at 10:52 pm

(YouTube Link)

The first time I watched this video it made me scream “Aaaaagh! Make It Stop!”, but I soon found myself oddly mesmerized by the awkward gyrations of the Fellowship crew.

Once the horror subsided, I couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. Someone put some serious time and effort into this video, then shared it with the world, and somehow it still manages to be better than anything the Backstreet Boys ever put out.

Antique Photo GIFs Reveal The Dark Side Of History

Posted by Zeon Santos in Art, Art & Design, Pictures on April 4, 2012 at 1:09 am

Things are not as they seem in these antique photo GIFs, and they confirm that the dark side is a silly place indeed.

Clearly influenced by Monty Python‘s Terry Gilliam and old ghost stories, artist Kevin Weir has discovered a fun way to play with images from the Library of Congress’ Flickr account.

Take a gander at the rest of these ghoulishly ridiculous animated delights at the links below, they’re like waiting for paint to dry…and reveal a ghostly visage on the wall.

This understated animated short comes from the mind of Michael Bolufer, and it’s the pilot episode for a 12 part series. It looks like a fun way to bring cardboard and sharpie together, and it’s animated for your viewing pleasure. A Cardboard cartoon, what’ll they think of next?!

Alternate Mad Men Intro Sequences

Posted by Zeon Santos in Art, Art & Design, Comics & Cartoons, Entertainment, TV, Video Clips on March 29, 2012 at 1:52 am

The hit show Mad Men has become the victim of parody across the interwebs, and Don Draper isn’t going to sign off on these alternate versions of the intro sequence.

It’s a cute little way to waste some time as you wait for next Sunday’s episode of Mad Men to air. Scotch and soda, anyone?

An App That Turns Photos Into Animated GIFs

Posted by Zeon Santos in Art, Art & Design, Photography, Video Clips on March 28, 2012 at 9:03 pm

If you’ve ever wanted to create GIFs on the fly with your smartphone, but found complexity of existing GIF creation programs like Cinemagraphs daunting, then you have to check out Flixel.

Flixel lets you decide which portion of the frame you want to be animated, then it records frames to play back as a GIF, while the rest of the photo remains still.

The result is a pretty cool bit of motion applied to your photos, and makes for some interesting, albeit twitchy, imagery. You can see a short video of Flixel in action, and many more GIFs created with the app, at the links below.

Mechawhales Have Come To Save The Day


(YouTube Link)

This animated short by Hauke Scheer has it all-action, aliens, and whales in mecha armor powered  by their minds.

The one thing this short doesn’t have is the music rights to AC/DC’s classic song “Back In Black”, so Hauke came up with his own version, which sounds pretty close to the original.

This short left me with one nagging question-why didn’t they give the whale a helmet?

Concept Art For Willow The Animated Series

Posted by Zeon Santos in Art, Art & Design, Comics & Cartoons, Entertainment, Film, Pictures on March 27, 2012 at 11:53 pm

When the fantasy movie Willow came out in 1988 it was received well by audiences, but not as well as blockbusters Rambo III, Big and Crocodile Dundee II which were released around the same time. Because of this overshadowing by the big boys, Willow was deprived of a sequel and, more importantly, an animated series.

Sadly, all we have now are scanned sheets of concept art, most of which are simple uncolored line drawings, to show us just how fantastic the Willow cartoon would have been. At least you can check out the sketches for yourself now, because nostalgia is free on the interwebs.

Over 40 Dwarf Names That Didn’t Make The Cut

Posted by Zeon Santos in Art & Design, Comics & Cartoons, Entertainment, Film on March 24, 2012 at 11:41 pm

It’s not surprising that the Disney writers and animators came up with a plethora of dwarf names to choose from while working on Snow White.

What is surprising is that they were left with a whopping 47 unused names, and some of the names on the list are just plain awful. Names like Biggo-Ego, Flabby, and Thrifty certainly don’t conjure up mental images of dwarfs heroic enough to help save the fair maiden, but I would love to see what a dwarf named Neurtsy looks like!
