Jarrett Heather’s amazing, fun, creative, brilliant kinetic typogaphy animation. Love that term.

I just wrote another Flame Expressions tutorial on how to animate an element travelling in a perfect circle without having to manually trace a path. Take a look!

Pixar: what an amazing idea factory. Watch the latest short film on YouTube before it disappears!

It’s been pulled unfortunately. It’s worth going to see UP in the cinema and watch the short before the main feature.

Last October, FXGuide had an interview with Grzegorz Jonkajtys about his short film The Ark which won Best of Show in Siggraph 2007. It took Jonkajtys 2 1/2 years to make the film whilst working on his day job at CafeFX.

I finally managed to watch the film online. I love the fact that it’s very dark and sombre and that feeling is constant throughout. The detail in the deep shadows is fantastic. The CG charaterisation and animation is extremely good and the matte paintings simply stunning.

It’s available in HD & SD here. Go have a look.
