Have a wonder over to the Media Molecule blog for more behind the scenes action. I believe Rex is involved with this bunch on the development of Little Big Planet, which looks like it’s going to be one of my favourite games of all time. Animation sketch vid of SackBoy the main character. Watch the work in progress trailer below. It’s pretty good! Kind of excited about this lil fella. Action packed and busting with fun stuff. I own a Wii but i might even get a Playstation for this one.  SackBoy wallpapers available from the Little Big Planet developers Media Molecule.  

 I can’t say anything. You just have to watch it. There’s a slight touch of the Aphex Twin about it. Dark. Video produced at SCAD where there’s more shorts for your viewing pleasure.  

 

A beautiful Japanese style French animation. Some lovely lovely detail. I love it. Le ballon. Link Via GlogLog

 
Really nice. The video was projected onto his tshirt for an interview. Brilliant idea, especially as there’s a bit where he comments in the video about actions he’s making in reality. Nice interaction. Via SwissMiss

Best thing on the Wii

This lizard is clearly off-his-tits.  Take it away Mr.Balloon Hands. Seen on The Worlds Best Ever.

Keep watching to see him come to life. Stephan has 177 videos and counting - a Monster a everyday. There’s something fascinating about time-lapse drawing.

This is amazing. Video by Carlo! 

This video for Levi Weaver is so sweet. Really nice ideas and touches throughout, it manages to express quite a bit about the song with very simple materials. Extremely understated, but wonderful. Via Fabulist.

PerishFactory’s new video for Bomb The Bass and their track Butterfingers. The characters are done really well. Very simple and made me smile! Put me in mind of the milk carton from the old Blur video. Thanks for the link Cookie!

These beautiful Penguin style book covers for *smilefaucet look nice enough, but then you realise how they were made. So much effort’s gone into them. Created for the UNDO moving image piece, there are anagrams you’re to de-cypher from the book titles while you watch.

See it here. Link via Cookie

I just discovered Domo! The fuzzy fella’s having a serious Godzilla nightmare. There’s a whole Domo channel on Veoh for your attention… And you can buy the big toothed guy here

I’ve missed a couple of posts this week. Mainly do to with having the Poke Plague + celebratory hangover combo! But on Tuesday night one of my projects was lucky enough to win a Commendation at the Design Week Awards - Whoop! So i’m well chuffed ; )

While i’m on the subject am i allowed to say ( ? ) that it’s also on display at the Design Museum at the moment as part of the Designs of the Year competition… stay tuned for the results on that one, but i’m not holding my breath as apparently we’re up against the Wii and the new Fiat. Which is pretty darn mental for a website about dancing monkeys, doodle machines, infinite birds, mutating monsters ( of course my favourite ) and much more ‘Unlimited Stuff’. Yeh!

I worked with literally swathes of people worked on pulling this mammoth together including the mighty Rex, Knotty, Julie, Roope, Dezza, Caroline, RichDee, Marrius, Alex, Karen, Will, Marc. It’s a Monster for sure …

Bryan Dalton caught my eye with this set of pieces entitled Thank You.

“A series of ephemeral installations and a 60 page book of images and personal narrative saying thank you for the things that inspire me in everyday life.

There’s a fair few nice ideas, and pieces of typography on there. Well worth a rummage. Not to mention great animated gifs! Even more can be found on my favourite gif appreciation site Sweet Gifs (bryan’s also ).
