Khoda

I saw this on Digg and thought I had to pass it along here... though it certainly doesn't look like this is alive any longer.

What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a ‘mission impossible’ by many people but eventually proved possible!

This is a pretty sweet graffitti-stop-motion-animation-thing. Watch it.

This stuff is crazy.

James Jean Prada Ad

Despite the fact that this is for some lame fashion thing this is a pretty ad. I love James Jean's work and it's neat to see it animated.

Animator Interaction

This is from Drawn!

I love this animated commercial for V Water. In it the animator himself intervenes to help his creation when he meets obstacles — it’s like a friendly version of Chuck Jones’s classic Duck Amuck:

Crispin Glover

My friend sent me this video the other day and I thought it was pretty funny, however also pretty weird. http://youtube.com/watch?v=WsSx5NA6sXw Haha what do you guys think about it?

Meth Minute 39

I saw "Internet People" last week or whenever it was that it got published but it didn't immediately have the biggest impact. But after seeing "Sex Machine" and then revisiting Dan Meth's previous episode it's growing on me. Maybe I'm just jealous that I didn't come up with such a great idea first. Anyhow, check out this guy's stuff on his frederator site, Meth Minute 39, it's really good, and keep an eye on him for the next few months, he's planning on publishing a video once a week, I believe.

HP Commercial

I don't watch a lot of TV so this may not be new to everyone, but I just saw some pretty cool HP commercials that I thought were great examples of digital art.

Shaun White
The Making of the Shaun White Ad

An interesting side note, the snowboards shown in the Shaun White Ad were actually illustrated by James Jean, who is probably one of my favorite illustrators.

Reverse Graffiti

This is a pretty interesting concept. This guy creates images on the wall of this tunnel by cleaning off the grime. I guess he's technically not doing anything wrong so he they can't really fine him or arrest him for it. Whether or not the authorities actually get the message some people must and things get cleaned up even if only to erase the images.
