Valentine’s Day is months behind us, but I couldn’t resist posting Ran Kim’s short Happy Valentines Day, which was recently posted to YouTube. This short was created by Kim at Vancouver Film School. Is our candy friend in this short related to Vincent van Gogh?

Choom Lam, a student at the Vancouver Film School, recently created a highly-entertaining, Flash-animated short titled Bobble and Sqweek.

Todd Ramsay an Animation Director who has worked at several of the major Flash animation studios in Canada, recently released an original short titled Honkbarn!

Ramsay graduated from the Vancouver Film School in 2000, and has since worked on a variety of Flash-animated TV projects including Being Ian, Edgar and Ellen, Stroker and Hoop and Mucha Lucha.

Corey McDaniel, a recent graduate of Vancouver Film School, recently posted a Flash-animated short titled Rex on his blog. Corey used very little voice acting, an angle I think more artists at the beginning of their careers should try. Finding proper voice talent, and then getting the right performances out them is an art in itself. Corey focused on layout, animation and timing here, under the watcheful eye of his instructor Edwin Poon. Corey, if I’m not mistaken, is still on the prowl for a full-time gig.

An amusing, albiet simple, Flash animated short from Vancouver Film School alum. On his MySpace page, Lawrence Chung explains that it took him a month to learn Flash and animate it. Inspired yet? You should be.
