Animation Art There

Floor 796

I really don't know how to describe this site. It's a large, intricate one-page animation. You can zoom in or out. That is all. Contains animated nudity.

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

A playlist of every glorious episode of the beautifully bizarre, Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.

If you don't know the program, it's a British web series done with puppets in the vein of a children's television show. But it is absolutely not for children. Do not watch it with your children.

Animation Music Video Art Lachlan Turczan Blake Mills Money There

This is an excellent track and a wonderful video. The song is by Blake Mills and the animation is by Lachlan Turczan, who says, "I made hi-resolution scans of banknotes from 23 countries ranging from the 1800s to the modern-day."

Watch at full screen.

Turczan continues, "Machine learning was used to further enhance these scans so that I could zoom in on the intricacies of the engravings. Using replacement animation techniques, the guilloché patterns wash over the viewer in a barrage of linework and geometry. Iconic scenes throughout history are also shown: the age of exploration leads to industrialization, wonders of the world are replaced by office buildings and icons of freedom stand in stark contrast to images of slavery. The project culminates with the collective eyes of all world leaders staring back at the audience."

Selfies

Selfies is a short animation by Claudius Gentinetta. Might be a bit bleak for some and might not be safe for work if cartoon imagery offends your higher-ups.
