POSTMODERN ART ANIMATION ________________________ http://www.01vlog.com/episode.php?item_number=728 This link takes you to: " Video Art: JOURNEY OF MIRACILLA " 2005 By: Motion Graphics Chicago ( Ed Cookson & Nick Sweetman ). Duration: 5 minutes ( loads instantly in Quicktime ). After you arrive, just click PLAY. NOTE: This work seems to be telling the story of how animations are created ( but in a postmodern context with humor ). It puzzles me why the title at the end says: " The Journey of Mircalla l ". Mistake ?? Regardless, I consider this animation a postmodern masterpiece. Also, I love the high-tech audio !! POSTMODERNISM ( Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy ). If you're up for a challenging read this is it: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/postmodernism/ _______________________________________________________ Signed: Robert Singletary__Friday January 13, 2006__10:29 P.M.

@3dluis Why don't you check out some of the animation ZCONCEPT posts. There's some good stuff - you may be surprised. What's the harm anyhow of ZCONCEPT sharing some things others may enjoy?
SOME LONG ANIMATIONS ARE STILL WORTH THE TIME !! ______________________________________________ http://amfilms.hash.com/search/Entry.php?entry=796 This link takes you to: " EVERYTHING'S JUST BEACHY " 2004 ( updated version ) By: Bruce Monahan Duration: 10 min. 20 seconds ( loads instantly in Quicktime ). Just click PLAY to start this fine animation. NOTE: This animation is a bit slow paced but still fun because of all the sound effects. Also, the extremely simplistic style is perfect for this work. @ binkie7, Thanks for the support !! Actually, I think 3dluis is trying to say HE doesn't care for animations in general. Thus, all others should not be interested either. Yet, there are millions of animation lovers out there !! In fact, animation art is being used more and more these days ( especially for adverts and website designs ). This thread is needed more than ever !! Maybe 3dluis is just extremely picky......so, I'd like to see the fantastic animation he posts in the near future. ________________________________________________________ Signed: Robert Singletary__Saturday January 21, 2006__7:55 P.M.

Approx. 3 min. download time for this work but it's worth your time because it's awesome !! P.S. After I watched " APOPHYSIS ONE " four times I decided to click on MOVIES under the Terragen section while I was there. Then I clicked on thumbnail for " LABYRINTH " 2004 by Karsten Keppel Duration: 4 min. 12 seconds ( download time was 5 min. but this digital animation is fantastic ). Great fly-throughs with mountains growing and flattening, rivers appearing and disappearing !! This is the first time I've ever seen such a great digital-landscape animation.

TWO STUDENT ANIMATION MASTERWORKS !! ____________________________________ http://www.daveschool.com/MoviePages/MovieTheater.htm This link takes you to: " BATMAN_New Times " by Dave School Student Production. Duration: 10 min. 20 seconds...and it loads instantly ( with additional 1:15 min. of credits at the end ). After you arrive, click thumbnail to start animation. I love the simple LEGO-block animation style of this work because it adds a lot of humor. It fits the funny lines spoken. Dang good story and lots of action within this 10 min. 20 seconds of pure delight. On this same page of thumbnails click: " DRAGON FELLOW " 2005 by Dave School Student Production. Duration: 6 minutes and I recommend you allow half of this work to load before you click the start button on left side ( there is additional 1 min. of credits at the end ). This is a very charming animation with somewhat of a corny folk song. If you have any young kids ( 4 to 8 yrs. ) in the house I'm sure they'll love this one. They may even make you play it a dozen times !! I'm 60 years old and it made me smile ( plus, I loved all the bright colors and details throughout ). This is a masterpiece of pure charm !! _______________________________________________________ Signed: Robert Singletary__Sunday February 19, 2006__9:47 A.M. (eastern standard time) USA

3dluis. Please, just leave this thread be. You have made your point, now just move on. People like you nitpicking and provoking flame wars are the reason good members of this forum keep leaving.
@ 3dluis, I think it's funny and a bit strange how you keep posting stuff to bump this thread. Thanks, but I don't need it. I do look forward to the day when you post a fantastic animation we can all enjoy. Come on now, you must have run across SOMETHING that turns you on. _______________________________________________________ Signed: Robert Singletary__Sunday February 26, 2006__1:26 P.M.
