Cedric Villain has delivered his submission for the Annecy 50th Anniversary contest on YouTube. The Festival international du film d’animation à Annecy kicks off on June 7th, and the winner of the competition gets a flight to the festival and a 6 night hotel stay. This piece builds rather slow, but it pays off nicely at the end:

Working out of Saatchi & Saatchi, Albert Pardo incorporated Flash into a recent production pipeline in a very unique way. For this Yoplait Go-GURT spot below, Pardo utilized Flash as his “pencil-test” tool, getting his timing right before printing out the frames on paper. He then used crayons to “ink” them frames on a lightbox, and eventually scanned them back into the computer for compositing. The animation is rather simple, but it’s a great looking result.

Peabo, one of the most popular animators behind Weebls-stuff.com, has produced a new music video for the DJ/Music Producer known as Johnny Massacre. The video is a Flash-animated “pet-project” by Peabo, and the track is titled Ultrasound.

Tom Ridgewell (aka TomSka), hates Marmite, and he wants your help hating it into oblivion. It’s all part of Marmite’s call to action, believe it or not. The food spread has invited people with mouths to either support or denounce the existence of Marmite, and below is a commissioned Flash-animated renunciation, titled marmite is terrible.

Remember Chris Voigt’s Parliment Deathmatch short? Well, Voigt has again aimed his Flash-animation skills at the Australian political mire, poking fun at the current US-style debates being held in his country. This piece is called Raptor Jesus.
