Aardman and Braun Create Magical Video ‘Beardimation’

Rotoscopers has an interesting and crazy stop motion commercial from Shaving and styling product company Braun and Aardman Animations who teamed up to create a magical and intriguing stop-motion short Beardimation.

From the article:

The animated film uses over fifty male beards to show the brand new Braun Styling Range. Aardman created the film by combining together the sequence of still images to create the “illusion of life.” The creative hair designs were aligned in a way that allowed the pattern to move effortlessly from one frame to the next, and projection guides for the animators were lined up well in advance of filming. Thus, creating perhaps one of the most precise showcases of stop-motion animation you will see.

Entertainment Weekly has an article and new clip where Seth Rogen channels Walt Disney in new Sausage Party teaser. Still not sure if I’m on board with this film but I’m really glad they’re starting to make adult themed animated features. Here’s to hoping it’s successful and creates an entirely new genre for the US.

‘R-Type’ Fan Made animated short

  By ,

Forbes has an article about a fan based animated short based on the classic side scrolling game R-Type. Personally I never heard of it but the animation Paul Johnson did is pretty sweet!

From the site:

For anyone that grew up with the brilliant side scrolling shoot-em-up R-Type, then the recent work of animator Paul Johnson will fill your heart with joy. This new animated short for Mashed, which is a programme on Channel 4 in Britain, covers the scenario of a smack talking gamer that is sucked into the first level of R-Type to prove his skills. The short specifically covers the first level of the first R-Type, up until the level’s boss fight. From the enemy spawn patterns to the layout of the level, it’s all been brilliantly done.
