  • The Playful Whale Trail Theme Song

    The playful Whale Trail sees Gruff declaring, “This is a motivational song, let’s all get along!” This has been inspired by the accompanying iPhone and iPad game of the same name designed and developed by usTwo.

    I’m on the whale trail,
    And I won’t fail whale
    Just set sail
    With heavy tail to the bottom of the clouds

    And when I set sail
    I won’t tell tales
    Without fail
    With abigail
    To the toppermost of the sky

    There ain’t no riots in the sky
    Just a riot of colour
    That will last forever.

  • Highly Strung by Dave Jones — Giant Puppets Come to Life!

    Australian filmmaker Dave Jones directed a live show the end of last year that combined interactive animated projections with giant puppets. Take a look…

    The performance of Highly Strung featured a giant 14-meter puppet. It took place on the night of October 28th, 2011, during the Nati Frinj festival. The puppet took ten people to operate and had animation (largely created by the children) projected onto it from projectors mounted both on the ground and in the head of the puppet itself.

  • SpongeBob’s Pineapple under the Sea is a Mathematical Impossibility

    It’s true, SpongeBob’s pineapple home under the sea is a mathematical impossibility, and not because fruit houses can’t exist underwater. The real reason is because the math on the pineaapple doesn’t add up! Mathematician and video-maker Vi Hart exposes the error in this cartoon’s arithmetic.

  • Asphalt Watches Raises $10k to Complete their Indie Epic

    Canadian cartoonists Seth Scriver and Shayne Ehman just raised over over $10k to complete their animated feature Asphalt Watches. They describe their collaborative two-man animated epic in the following way:

    “Asphalt Watches is a true adventure story: in 2000, we hitchhiked across Canada together. The animation captures our crazy journey, full of hilarious and amazing encounters. Using music and songs we make ourselves, alongside hand-drawn Flash animation, we tell the tale of making our way from a 7-11 near Chilliwack, BC where a guy was hanging out with a knife in his belly… to meeting one of only “two real Santas” in the world outside Calgary… to barely escaping death near Regina, SK. Our style is to turn real-life characters and settings into funny and poetic abstractions that depict the feeling and essence of what happened.”
