I’ve always resisted the urge to post stick animation here. The exception occurs when someone transcends the format, like Alan Becker’s Animation vs. Animator. And 25-year old Chinese artist who goes by JustSolo just set the bar a notch higher with Ghostfight: Battle of the Swords, which could pass for high-end gameplay video.
In 2005, Hong Kong based artist Thomas Leung created a very personal animated short titled Sukki’s Story. It’s a touching, thoughtful piece, and Leung obviously crafted the short with a great deal of love and attention. He utilized a labyrinth of software to bring the film to life, including Flash, which was used to rotoscope live-action footage.
In this assembly, Leung illustrates the process he used in creating the film.
Beijing-based Hutoon Animation is producing Blow Up The Schools, a mixed-media series focusing on school violence. The character animation is produced in Flash, while the sets appear to be collage.
The Chinese animation studio b&t Animation created this short for the recent holiday season. This Flash-animated piece features BoBo&ToTo, the stars of Swallowtail Butterfly. Okay, it’s a little late, but it came all the way from China, for crying out loud!
BoBo&ToTo, the Flash-animated series created by B&T Studio in China, has released their 9th episode, titled Springboard. It’s not as elaborately designed as the multi-episode mini-series Swallowtail Butterfly, but it’s surely strong work, containing a great deal of traditional animation.

Vincent, a 25-year old animator living in China, has released a new Flash animated episode in his KungFu Bunny series called Run Bunny Run. The film mixes stop-motion photography with Flash animation, and pays homage to Max Fleischer’s 1919 Out of the Inkwell series in which the animator interacts with the animation. Chuck Jones followed suit in 1951 with the brilliant short Duck Amuck and more recently Alan Becker got into the act with his Animation vs. Animator series.
Vincent has become a bit of a celebrity back in China. He’s been interviewed on TV about his shorts, and invited to several festivals. The third installment in the KungFu Bunny series is due out soon, and Vincent has already begun promoting it on his website.
To see photos from the production, check out Vincent’s blog. To see stills from the final work, click here.
