This is amazingly good-looking animation. I’m rather surprised I didn’t see it any other place than Weibo, unless there was and I wasn’t paying attention being away during the month of March and all. xD

I’m not going to be showing anything in particular or talk about anything in particular, but I gotta mention that this post is a bit NSFW~ Just because I’m going to be dealing with porn, or more specifically animated porn… which some call Hentai — but really, Hentai would be the anime version, right?
ANYWAY.
I’ve seen a couple of Blue films from a documentary — I really had no idea erotic films went that far back in film history, but it figures. Since then, I’ve always had a fascination with some of the “vintage” animated shorts I’ve run into about the subject. There many of them, of the German kind… sometimes Scandinavian, or Eastern European ones. There are many that re-work some fairy tales — the few that I’ve seen were Snow White, and there also was Hansel & Gretel. Many of them feature castle types, which I guess can be explained from the shape of castles… they lend itself to the topic. LOL
Then, I ran into this clip:
Though this one came first, I wanted to say this…
“First it was books at a bookstore, now it’s pencils and color pencils~”
I’m trying out a new type of posting.
I found this commercial for Rede Telecine [1], a 2min. short done by Rio de Janeiro-based animation studio BEELD.motion for the campaign Vá ao Cinema (Go to the Cinema).
Titled O Homem que Nunca Tinha Ido ao Cinema (The Man Who Had Never Been to the Cinema), the short tells the story of a bitter man who dreads movie theaters because he doesn’t understand them… until he does.
You can check out BEELD’s concepts and storyboards here.
I tried sharing this on YinYueTai, where it goes through an approval process. Finally, it didn’t make it… because it didn’t adhere to YinYueTai content policies, which can only means that the music video it’s too dirty. LOL

The Vimeo version has subtitles.
I don’t know how I missed this back in December~
oh well~
This is pretty cool animation.

Who remembers those days when you were in class not paying attention, doodling on your notebook?
Also known by its French original title, Le Silence sous l’écorce. The animated short directed by Joanna Lurie follows two… little beings (?) who wake up as it begins snowing.
The short was one of the few shortlisted for the Best Animated Short Oscar nominations, but it missed out on it just like Sensology.
This style is challenging my eye to figured 3d, 2d and mixed media.
There’s also a short making-of the short.
A mystery colorful version of a Film Noir that meets Pythagora Switch (1).
To be honest, this short could easily have gotten an Oscar nod… dunno if it was eligible this year, though. Maybe next time? It’s definitely stylish, and if it holds clues… worth repeat viewings xD
The film contains 16 hidden messages that hold clues to the characters’ secrets. Eight are fairly easy requiring only a close eye. Six are moderately difficult using various encryption methods. Two are extremely difficult requiring a genius mind to decrypt.
