Stop Animation
September 19, 2006
Through a Digg article, I came upon this incredible stop animation short by a guy in the Netherlands. For most of the life I can remember, I’ve been entranced by stop motion, namely, Peter Gabriel‘s “Sledgehammer” video – always a source of ideas and motivation when I get stuck in one spot. Another stunning and inspiring animation is from director Michel Gondry (a master in his own right) for the White Stripes‘ “Fell in Love with a Girl.”
Logo look-a-like

I was at the movie theater this past weekend and thought the poster for the upcoming Sofia Coppola movie, Marie Antoinette, had a similar looking logo to the Sex Pisols‘ Never Mind the Bollocks…album cover. Maybe it’s because of the text design with similar colors…maybe.

Just listened to Pixies‘ “Debaser” which is pretty darn good and I noticed it references Louis Buñuel and Salvador Dali’s Un Chien Andalou (The Illusion Dog), a short French film from 1929. I saw it in a few of my classes in past semesters – Introduction to Film and French Cinema. It’s very strange, but worth seeing once and give the song a listen too. Another movie Dali had his hand in was Hitchcock’s Spellbound from 1945, highly recommended.
