SubWars by Sean Soong, 2012
A subway ride turns bloody when an old man is denied a seat. The action and effects are quite cool. And gory, if you’re squeamish. If not, enjoy!

Psychic Land by Pablo Gostanian, 2012
A kaleidoscopic nite-brite world of strange mask characters and purple interlopers. Fun!

Megalizer by Mohamed Fadera and Vic Chhun et al, 2011
More groovy nite-brite. Breakdancing this time.

State of the Art by Rubber House, 2011

Good Books - Metamorphosis by Buck, 2012
This one is good enough that I will overlook my usual proscription against commercial works.

RUIN by Oddball Animation, 2012
A spectacular photoreal chase scene and environment.

Kara by Quantic Dream, 2012

The best example of light painting I’ve seen so far.

Vaesen by Animation Workshop Students, 2012
A wordless, surreal fairytale. Muted, but solidly-drawn motion. The star of the show is the great, moody style and backgrounds… looks like the 70’s.
-
Rain Town by Hiroyasu Ishida, 2011
A slow, moody piece with impressive rendering and atmosphere.

Sonar by Renaud Hallée, 2009

Space Stallions by Animation Workshop students, 2012
