Aliens is a great action movie, trouble is you don’t always have a couple of hours spare to watch it. But you’ve probably got a spare 60 seconds, even if it does mean being late for that important meeting. Who cares? So sit back and watch the awesomeness of Aliens shortened to a mere minute [...]
Claymation auteur Lee Hardcastle tells a story about a drug bust, a drug bust that goes horribly wrong and ends in Hardcastle’s trademark ultra-violence that’s bearable only because it’s being inflicted in the medium of clay. If this was live-action we’d all be puking our eyeballls out already, just like these characters.

This is sci-fi done at its best, with CGI used to enhance the story rather than just to look pretty and a narrative that’s both brilliant and terrifying. Meet ABE, he’s a robot with issues. And ABE is a fab character and it follows him after some bad programming gives him too much emotion which [...]
This has all you want from an epic sci-fi short. It’s set in a post-apocalyptic world where all natural life has disappeared and it has a cyborg (gynoid?) Rosa who has to save planet earth and fight for her survival. Hollywood has now come calling, so watch it before it gets ruined.
Disney buying Star Wars and the announcement of another three films to be produced by them is the perfect fodder for some internet mashups. And this one is particularly awesome, as characters from both the Disney and Star Wars universes get spliced and diced together. Pluto as Chewy is a highlight and makes you long [...]
It’s a good thing the world’s got an appetite for animated shorts set in post-apocalyptic landscapes because there sure does seem to be a lot of them. Maybe we’re psychologically readying ourselves for the inevitable doomsday that’s going to sew humanity’s end. This is definitely worth a watch though. Amazing stuff.

Godzilla doesn’t just have to be a terrifying monster, he can also be a cute monster and still cause carnage and destruction on a mass scale. Just take a look at this guy, he comes across like a gormless but well meaning pet who just happens to trash an entire city while going about his [...]
In Nicolas Devaux’s short animation we get some insight into what giraffes get up to when no humans are around and they get free run of an empty swimming pool. Which means lots of acrobatics as they take to the high board and dive in with the grace that only a CG giraffe could. It’s [...]

Alan Watts was a counterculture philosopher and Zen advocate whose soundbites of how to live your life are the sort of thing that make you want to quit work and go travel the world and seek adventure. South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone illustrated some of his gems from the Alan Watt’s recorded [...]

You can keep your fancy Photoshop, everyone knows that if you want some truly stunning imagery to accompany your awesome song then you need to dust off the old MS Paint and start freehanding it – old skool. That way you’ll get some impressive visuals and it won’t cost you loads of money. But why [...]
Synesthesia is a condition where people can hear colors or taste sound or some other such weird sensory crossover. And animator Oscar López Rocha has attempted to recreate that in animated form in the video above. Whether it’s synesthesia or just a strange-looking bird flying about amongst disorientating images it’s hard to tell. Either way, [...]
If you’ve ever been to a pub in London in the day time, you’ll know it can be full of reprobates and eccentrics. This rotoscoped animation from Joseph Pierce casts a surreal eye over the inhabitants of a typical London drinking establishment, augmenting the live action with cartoonish and outlandish additions which unveil the character’s [...]

That Wassap! Budweiser thing looks like it’s never going to die quietly, just when you thought it’d had its last incarnation back in the early 00s it rears its head in animated form. But tbf to the animators of this piece, it’s actually very funny and if you had to sit through another Wassaaa! then [...]
So what is it then? “Horny aliens with tentacles that want to get intimate with human women” is how the guy in this video describes the Japanese art of hentai: anime porn. But not only does this guy clear up once and for all what it is, he also gives his own incredible vision of [...]

Claymation auteur Lee Hardcastle does it again with his version of the new Die Hard movie — and as always it’s a rip-roaring journey full of excessive violence, Tetris bombs, and chainsaws. If John McClane’s new actioner is even half the fun of this short, then they’ll have done well. If it isn’t then everyone [...]
If you were busy trying to have a life instead of watching videos on the internet, then you may’ve missed part one of this series, which featured zombies and machine guns made from keytars. Now, in part two, you get some claymation action that involves violence, burnings, and more violence. Looks like it’s going to [...]

It’s often lamented that computer-generated techniques have meant the death knell for more traditional forms of animation. But it’s just not so, as John Kahrs shows in this fantastic animation which merges CGI with hand-drawn images. From Disney studios, this Oscar-nominated black and white short captures some of their old magic.
If two ten year olds snuck into the recording booth and started messing about behind the mics, it probably wouldn’t sound too dissimilar to Trey Parker and Matt Stone partaking in their professions and recording a segment of South Park. That booth must be the megalolz booth, you can imagine every time they record an [...]
