Stewart Stands Against Poverty
On October 15th and 16th, the United Nations Millennium Campaign launched STAND UP, a worldwide effort against world poverty. Over 23 million people stood up as a reminder to world leaders who pledged to end poverty by 2015.
Several artists joined the cause, including Hornet Inc’s Aaron Stewart, who animated a short titled All Together Now. The characters in this piece were all animated in Flash and then composited with live action footage in After Effects. The person on the right is actually Aaron.
Stewart also animated a short interstitial for VH1′s Best Of Thanksgiving ’06 program. The entire short was animated in Flash by Dan Abdo and Jason Patterson, produced by Hana Shimizu and Courtney Cosentino, and art directed by Jim Fitzgerald.

I love Aaron’s work. Have had bendible plastic in the bookmarks for years now. He is a good example for those who want to do Motion Graphics with Flash as well as linear character animation.
Was glad to find out that Hornet’s director -the strange and talented Monkmus is who did those awesome PSP ads.
sweeeet!
