New (probably old) Emile animation test

What the hell's a theremin?

I had never heard of a theremin until now...

video found, as with all the good stuff, at swench.

The way of the future

Looks like they're doing some impressive stuff at CalArts. Computers are the way of the future. Awesome.

Microsoft Surface Parody

If you've seen the original you'll find this pretty funny ;)

Hand shadows

This is pretty neat...

Frickin' laser beams

Millenium Falcon stop-frame

Possibly the nerdiest thing I've ever seen, but also one of the coolest!

The aliens are coming...

More cool electricity experiments at Tesla Downunder

Football vs Rabbit

Really nice use of CG to resemble stopframe animation. According to the guys that made it, the rig is actually surprisingly simple...

Junky shadows

Take piles of junk - cast a light on them - hey presto!

The Pixar Zoetrope

Wahoo! I fell in love with this at the Pixar exhibition in London! Now I don't have to explain it (although even these pics & movies still don't do it true justice - it was just incredible)

The Pixar Zoetrope

via VNOG Blog by Victor Navone on Jul 12, 2006

Looking through my files I stumbled upon this movie of the 3D Zoetrope from Pixar's exhibition at the NYC MoMA earlier this year, and I realized that it probably hasn't been posted anywhere. So here it is! It's a 4.2 MB mp4 movie, and of course it doesn't approximate in the least how cool this contraption looks in person. This is real 3D animation. There's plenty more information on the Zoetrope and the rest of the exhibit (which I believe is in London now) at the Luxo Blog.


You can see more of my personal photos from the exhibit here.
