Bill animates Trans-Atlantic Tumnus

Bill Greenhead's latest whiteboard animation is a music video for Free Swim.
The group asked Bill to make a video for their latest rock track "Trans-Atlantic Tumnus", and of course Bill jumped at the opportunity. He says " The track gave me a chance to try out lots of new techniques in whiteboard art. I wanted to be able to place static objects and for them to spring into life. Lots of 3d animation with UFOs and robots. It's a fun track to animate." Watch the animation.

Rebel Trouser

Alan Baker is the artist behind this magnetic film, one of a trilogy of "Trouser" films which are humourous and dark movie shorts.

The project sees Alan mix a variety of art mediums with Super 8 film, such as bleaching, paint and airbrush thus pushing the creative limitations of the Super 8 cartridge. This installment entitled "Rebel Trouser" mixes horror with humour and the absurd.
