Paris-based artist Art Grootfontein has completed his first project for JibJab – a new Sendable birthday short. His piece, titled Piñata Blast, was animated in Flash. To access the huge collection of JibJab Sendables, sign up for a subscription, currently priced at $1 per month.

Paris-based artist and Gobelins grad Laurent Rossi directed this Street Fighter homage, and brought in Matt Timms, an FX animator on The Amazing World of Gumball, to handle the FX animation. They used Flash, Photoshop and After Effects. Pretty insense stuff! Enjoy Project Gouken:

3 buddies, 1 ice cream van and a road-trip for the ages. Ice Cream Road is a 5-minute film directed by Frenchmen David Decobert, Thomas Fourniret and Jean-Philippe Florin for the Annecy 2011 YouTube Contest. The theme this year is Animation, Land of Freedom, and artists are encouraged to include a reference to the USA, who are the 2011 guest country. I think this one has a strong chance at taking the top prize:

EMCA students Mohamed Fadera and Sami Guellai directed this animated short, titled Mo’Sam Experience. What is a Mo’Sam, you ask? That’s the collaborative team name Fadera and Guellai have hung on themselves, and this “experience” is more of a teaser for a longer piece they’re already working on. As you’ll probably notice, Flash was just one of the tools they used in the production. Maya, Photoshop, Flash and After Effects were all utilized on this graduation year project.

France’s Nicolas Leger produced this intense, fx-heavy, traditionally-animated sequence for the Xilam TV series Rahan during his 4 years of employment at the studio. He animated primarily with Flash but he also used After Effects for compositing and effects.
