Sharing Animation - Sisyphus (Marcell Jankovics, 1974)

For this week (or last week, I'm still one week behind =P) sharing animation I'll post some art.

I'm a true lover of the fluid, detailed, precise animation, such as well done traditional animation and 3D animation. But another part of animation that I love is mainly notable in tradicional animation, for obvious artistic freedom reasons, and are the metamorphosis (have I done this speech before? I feel I have...).

So this week I come to you with a very short short, that has an incredible development throughout the narrative, as the original sisyphus myth also have (For the curious, Wikipedia: The Myth of Sisyphus) and the metamorphosis develops aswell, in my opinion, in a very charming way. The short received an Oscar nomination.

The artist is Marcell Jankovics and the animation is called, as you might have guessed, Sisyphus. You can google the artist to know more about him since he doesn't have any official website.

It's very simple but yet very powerful.

So please enjoy, Sisyphus by Marcell Jankovics.

Sharing Animation - The Monk and The Fish (Michael Dudok De Wit, 1994)

Do you remember my second post in this sharing animations? If you haven't seen it yet, you can look for it in the Sharing Animation Tab (where you can find a list of all the animations I've shared so far) or you can go to the Sharing Animation Label (where you can see all the posts I've shared with inspirational animation till date)!

So this week I'm here with another Michael Dudok De Wit animation called The Monk and the Fish (Le Moine et le poisson), a 1994 awarded animation!

This beautiful animation won the first Cartoon d'Or award for Dudok De Wit, and also won the Cesar (an important French award) and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.

The music wonderfully achieved by Serge Besset really gives the right mood to it!

Here you go, another masterpiece from this genius in his art!

Sharing Animation - Seiltänzer (Raimund Krumme, 1986)

I'm so late!

My life with university and all is very busy, so I've been skipping the weekly animations, and I feel that's just wrong.

So for this half week late animation sharing I come to you with a very "simple" project, but yet full of life. The name is Seiltanzer by the award-winning German director, Raimund Krumme. It was his first original animation, in 1986.

The simple lines and design are very caracteristic of Krumme. Also the way he play with the lines and with metamorphosis can be widely seen in his work.

I tried but I couldn't manage to find an official website for the artist, but HERE and HERE you can see some info about him in the AWN website, and HERE you can see some more info in the ACME filmworks website.

I personally love when animation keeps surprising us in terms of material and space relation of the objects. In this piece, a simple hand-drawn square can be a lot of different things!

Nothing better than you watch it! Enjoy, Seiltanzer by Raimund Krumme.
