Ok, this has been around the block as well as sitting on my list for ages, but still no less impressive. TV network Cuatro commissioned Barcelona-based, audio-visual specialists, Kotoc to make the idents for the UEFA Euro 2008 competition.

Kotoc were briefed with “robots, football and superheroes” and created a campaign consisting of small sequences in which extreme football, action and science fiction merge.

Check Behance to watch the Cuatrobots!

There’s a few idents there, but they’re short and very sweet.

Publishing house 4th Estate celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2009 and commissioned London’s Apt Studio to mark the occasion with a stop-motion film called This is Where We Live.

The film was produced in stop-motion over 3 weeks in Autumn 2008. Each scene was shot on a home-made dolly by an insane bunch of animators.

“Evolution of Technology” mixes robots and biology to explain survival of the fittest. Being a fan of the robot aesthetic, I’m loving the mix of bio and tech.

Created for Saturn.

More Soon is a new studio set up by Carl Burgess, who is ex-Hi-Res! I can see a little Hi-Res in the studio website, but that fleshy circular thing has to be seen in motion.

I’ve no idea what it is, but it rotates down, animating these layered, glistening flesh slices! It’s a little mesmerising and repulsive at first. It made me stare.

I’ve just witnessed this pretty amazing animation created by using public walls from the sunny streets of Buenos Aires and Baden.

The animation itself is a bit quirky with unusual subject matter consisting of characters taking off their own heads to grow multi-faceted objects and strange arachnid-like things walking and kicking around real-life objects.

But the fact that it is created on public walls temporarily, with each frame committed at once on (digital) film, makes you wonder about the effort required!

Highly original and definitely worth checking – and sending to friends. Watch it below!
