Hi There Hammy

I found this rather sweet (and also slightly odd) short animated video over on Swissmiss today. I wonder if the giant rabbit is like a spirit animal that just happens… or if it’s simply an enormous pet? Curious…

This is another very sweet video by  Johnny Kelly called “The Seed”. There’s paper, illustration and general loveliness seeping out of every second of this video.

Oh my GOODNESS! I love everything about this video; from the sweet Icelandic folky images, to the drawing style, to the way everything moves. AH! I could marry this video and be completely content for the rest of my life. Celeste Potter has some more of her really nice animation on her myspace page so be sure to check them out (I can’t for the life of me figure out how those pages work. There’s crap all over them and sometimes it’s related, sometimes it’s not. Sigh… I feel silly).

p.s. I REALLY love the music for this video as well. It’s called No Turning Back by Sarah Blasko.

Brian posted this today. He says it’s old, but I’ve never seen it and I thought it was hilarious!

There’s an exhibition at the Kemistry Gallery with a piece “Heart” by Hennie Haworth (Illustration) and Robert Burton (Photography). It’s based on the old-school movie Metropolis but it reminds me of the movies with hand-drawn special effects (think The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe).
