Girl and Robot (short animation)

Here's a whimsically endearing and well animated video by Mads Dam Jakobsen, Kenneth Haunstrup, Nils Henric Wallmark, and Slaven Reese ("The Animated Workshop"):

Saucer Launch Clip (CC license)

Well, I should have posted this many months ago, but I did finally complete my POV-Ray based clip of a flying saucer taking off:

Sneak Peek - Saucer Launch

Recently, I've been working on a POV-Ray animation of flying saucer taking off from a launch bay. At right is what the launch bay looks like so far.

I might add or edit a few details, make some lighting changes, but I think it is pretty close the way I want it.

It will be short, but I am planning to release it under a Creative Commons license, so others will be able to incorporate it into their videos. *

Colony Seeding

Here's a short animation showing an alien ship depositing its
"seeds" on a planet. Stuart Whitmore created the video footage,
and I added the sound track:

"Anomalous Incident" (sci-fi Music video)

I based this one loosely on the idea of an unknown alien entity visiting a remote orbiting power station (perhaps attracted by the power output). This is the first video for which I've used POVRay's radiosity feature:

"Robotic Mutation"

Here's an experimental animation from back in 2004 by YouTube member cyriak. Cyriak describes the video as "my animation degree film". I'd certainly give it an "A", both for the visual elements and the well-matched sound track:

S3 vs the Mad Scientist's Robot (Animation)

Well, it took a while to make, but here's my latest video, featuring a heroic little spherical robot battling a much larger opponent, set to synth/percussion music. I hope you like it:

Table Kid Kirby - Part 5: Table Escape

This is the concluding episode of the superb stopmotion series by Paul Whittington aka Carrotkid. If you missed any episodes, here are links to my posts containing parts 1 and 2 and parts 3 and 4. I loved the way in which he chose to end the series (but I won't say anything more so as not to give it away :)




More films by Carrotkid/Paul Whittington and his work are available for viewing on his website. You can also get some information on about what he's working on from his blog.

The ToonLifeOnline Blog also has an excellent interview with him here. *

A couple of raytraced music videos

Each features graphics created in POVRay. The first one, by FinHit is entitled Dawn of Ray:



And here's my latest, a sci-fi mood piece entitled Abandoned Outpost:

Table Kid Kirby (claymation)

Here are the first two installments in the classic "Table Kid Kirby" series created some time ago by Carrotkid (aka Canadian filmmaker Paul Whittington). The stopmotion animation is very well done. Having spent hours creating some much shorter clay animations myself, I would imagine it must have taken Carrotkid a long time indeed to create this series. In addition to the visual appeal, there's a bit of mystery as well as some parody (intentional I think) of the Phantasm movies, especially in the second video:

part 1 (Magic Mirror):



Part 2 (Realm of the Spiral Sky):
