Belated congratulations go out to Marylène Pourcelot on graduating from the French art school e-art sup Institut. She spent 14 months on her 3-minute gradutation film, titled Rococo, laboring on lavish environments in Photoshop, and subtle animation timing in Flash. The timing is a bit on the sluggish side (perhaps just in the middle), but the environments and enjoyable twist at the end make for a strong short. [NSFW - tasteful nudity]
Mike Hollingsworth’s short Craig T Squirrel appeared in several festivals including last year’s Animation Block Party. It’s a short piece about mistaken identity that involves some incredible circumstances.
Katan is a rather epic Flash-animated short by a 22-year old artist from the UK known as Cerberus. He’s built a sizable following in the furry community, and on sites like FurAffinity. He started making this particular Aztec-themed short back in 2008, and recently hit it big on Newgrounds, where it’s currently ranked #1 on the All-Time list. I also spotted a making-of video he posted last year.
Founding 6PH member Greg Franklin recently directed this new comedy bit by up-and-coming comedian Kyle Kinane. The piece was created to promote Kinane’s album Death of the Party, which is now out on ASPECIALTHING RECORDS. It’s quality material, both comedy and animation-wise, and after you’re done watching this segment below, do yourself a favor and watch Kinane take out a heckler a few weeks back. Franklin had help on the animation from Marius Alecse and Mac Whiting, while Tony Christopherson composited and edited. [NSFW - language and bunny sex]
