  The East Side of Los Angeles on a Sunny Day

  (Time-lapse)
  [ 2:16 - from Vimeo ]

  It may look like a miniature, but it's not. Clark Vogeler, of the band The Toadies shot this time-lapse, tilt-shift video in and around the L.A. neighborhoods of Echo Park, Silverlake and Los Feliz, along with Griffith Park and downtown. Busy little ants, aren't we? view

  Subprime

  (3D)
  [ 2:27 - from Vimeo ]

  Here's a cool 3D animation, from Beeple, showing the evolution of the american housing market. I really like the aesthetic on this one and the soundtrack by nobot just makes it perfection. I hope these two keep up the collaborations.  view

  Route 66 Remix (A Tribute to Beat Era Animators)

  (Experimental)
  [ 3:51 - from YouTube ]

  If you liked the famous 'Stargate' sequence from "2001: A Space Odyssey", then you'll love this trippy homage to the experimental animators of the 1960s. I especially like the hypnotic, windshield wiper soundtrack... and is that the fleeting image of an American flag dancing in the center of the screen?  view

  TAC TV: The Pilot

  (Experimental)
  [ 1:52 - from TAC TV ]

  Two pilots. One crisis. No brains. That's where we begin in this episode of TAC.tv. The pilot is desperate to land his plane when he discovers a passenger is filing his nails and drinking a 'cannette of grape juice'. You see where this is going? Down in a field, I say. Fasten your seat belts, eGuiders! view

  Flinstones Winston Commercial

  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 1:20 - from YouTube ]

  It wasn't low ratings that brought the Flinstones to extinction, it was... emphysema? We coulda guessed Wilma was a shill for Big Tobacco (that strumpet), but how did Betty’s agent get her to do this? view

  John Whitney "Catalog" 1961

  (Experimental)
  [ 7:23 - from YouTube ]

  Here's a beautiful and hypnotic early computer animation. It's from a demo reel by visual artist John Whitney. Some of the effects used in this video would later be utilized in the slit-scan sequence in Kubrick's "2001: A Space Oddyssey."  view

  The Story of a Coke Can

  (Flash)
  [ 1:10 - from Vimeo ]

  Flashy, retro animation (reminiscent of the great opening titles for "Catch Me If You Can") illustrates how a Coke can is made. The twisty, tangled transformation of a piece of aluminum oxide into a common household item surprisingly makes for an entertaining little short. And you might learn something, too. view
