PUPPET: A Film by Patrick Smith

It is a story about a young man who creates a hand puppet that hurts him in increasingly gruesome and bizarre ways. It is a story of desperation, fear, and an ever-present question: does the puppet have a mind of its own, or does the hand want to control it this way? 


TOONY THOUGHTS

I love this.

The animation is incredible. The story is funny and very smartly written. The music compliments the tone of the film.

Patrick Smith is an animation force to be watched.

Signe was one of the most influental teachers I had in college. She inspired her students to explore and not be afraid to embrace the edge.Her unique style make her of the best independent animators out there. I highly recommend her cartoons. You will never be able to look at a vacuum cleaner the same way again.

MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU

A short film by Blu: an ambiguous animation painted on public walls.

TOONY THOUGHTS

This is an animation by Blu. This will blow your mind. It's living graffiti. Animated by painting on a wall and then repainting it to make the next picture. As he filmed all the picture with a stop motion camera it makes an animation on the wall. Crazy cool imagery supports the crazy cool way he decided to make it. Awesome art.

Watermelon Nights- The Meth Minute 39

"Watermelon Nights" is the 11th episode of the Meth Minute 39 cartoon series. Director Dan Meth takes the animation out into the real world with a full-length stop motion music video for this summer anthem by underground musician John Crave. It's one of the "sweetest" short films ever made.


TOONY THOUGHTS

This is a cartoon by Dan Meth. Amazing! Anyone who has tried to do stop motion knows how many hours and watermelons it took to make this. The design of the watermelon will make you smile. It's a master of his craft uses his skills on watermelons... and he make it work.

ANGST

From the day André was born, he was harassed by the wind, which resulted in a fear of it. Angst is beautiful and strange Animation.

TOONY THOUGHTS
This is an animation by Emiel Penders. I really like the look. Keeping the gray, black and white pallette really helps tell the tale of a young boy being harrassed by the wind. If it was brightly colored I don't think it would work as well. The story is told without words. But it is easy to understand what is going on (and possibly relate depending on how your childhood went.) Overall it is a well crafted piece both stylewise and storywise.

THE LAST DUET ON EARTH

In the future, music will be the only thing that matters anymore.

TOONY THOUGHTS
This is a cartoon by Graham Annable. I like the design of the characters and subtlety of their movements. He is a genius at pacing and anticipating. His mastery of the craft is so great that his cartoons make me laugh with the littlest of action. This is my favorite of his work.
