Words by Alex Bec, Friday 22 May 2009

New video from the hand of Chris Ware. He never, ever disappoints and with music by Andrew Bird to boot it’s a bit of a treat.

Work / Animation Ryan Plaisance’s colourful patchwork animation of looping lines and shapes

Mississippi-based Ryan Plaisance’s animation See Ya Later is a whirling patchwork of lines and shapes. Each kaleidoscopic loop has been created by drawing shapes on a cintiq, frame by frame at 15 fps using TV Paint (a French animation programme). Through these tools Ryan creates a wonderful smoothness to the three-minute film, which becomes hypnotic as these loose forms spill and cascade into each other.

Work / Animation Bananas get anthropomorphised in Julian Frost’s brilliant animation

Melbourne-based animator and illustrator Julian Frost brings the humble banana to life in a series of anthropomorphic sketches. In various scenes the our crescent-shaped friend takes on numerous guises and uses. We see the piece of fruit take the place of bicycle wheels, a giant guitar and even a set of vicious teeth. In other parts, Julian gives real character to the banana, like turning into an ominous creature lurking over someone’s shoulder, photocopying itself and being mourned over like a fallen comrade.

Work / Animation Ana Tortos’ animation tells us to make a joke when relationships get tough

We’ve all been there, looking across at our lover or life partner and getting quietly annoyed about the way they eat, how terrible they are at table tennis or why on earth they insist on wearing novelty pants. In this School of Life animation, created by Ana Tortos, we’re taught the value of finding humour in our relationships in order to broach these awkward and upsetting issues with a smile.

Work / Animation Animator Hoji Tsuchiya's patchwork video for Japanese singer Uri Nakayama

Japan-born and Berlin-based animator Hoji Tsuchiya has created this bonkers stop-motion film for Japanese singer/songwriter/hairdresser Uri Nakayama for her latest track Spring Time-Old Man. The short sees a collaged world of happy figures dancing around a brightly coloured world full of textures and hand-drawn elements, where purple mountains and giant fishes are the norm.
