Animation Shorts
I love them, so I thought "Why not?"
I love them, so I thought "Why not?"
In this thread, we'll post any small animated video we thought is noteworthy, either from YouTube, or from any other source.
Rules
Yes, there are rules. Kindly appreciated if you do follow them.
Have fun!!!
And some of my own favourites:
Created in 1999, by Alexander Pertov. As you can guess from the title, it's an adaptation of the novel by Ernest Hemingway. The technique is paint-on-glass animation. The painter creates the first frame with oil paint of glass, it is photographed and then, the painter makes small changes for the next frame (because oil on glass takes a long time to dry), etc.
Winner for Best Animation Short Oscar.

Yes, there are rules. Kindly appreciated if you do follow them.
- The animation shorts will have to be independent and original. In other words, don't post AMVs, previews from animated series or trailers.
- Music videos, whose official videos include original animation are OK (ex. Gorillaz, Daft Punk - One More Time, etc.).
- You CAN post animations from amateurs.
- There is no time limit, but please, keep in mind that this thread is called "Animation Shorts". Don't put a whole film in parts here!
- Yes, you can post Japanimation shorts.
- Please, try to keep the posts without a video at a limit. I want this rule to be followed, because I want anyone who comes in this thread for the first time not to be forced to browse throughout the thread to find some videos. In other words, more videos, less commenting. I'd like this thread to have a gallery character.
- Try not to put the same video twice. I know that if this thread grows (which I hope), it'll be inevitable to have repeats, but do try. Besides, watching the videos is the primary goal of this thread.
- When posting a video, try and find some information about it either from Wiki or other sources, like, how it was created, by whom and when.
Have fun!!!
