Chip Kidd on book design

Tuesday, May 22, 2012

0 Comments

Missed this until I had a wee back-browse through some videos, but the always fascinating TED lectures series has a fairly recent (March, I think) talk up by Chip Kidd – it isn’t specifically about his comics work, rather about his approaches to book design in general, but it is a funny, fascinating and well-presented [...]

Thursday, May 17, 2012

1 Comment

Denis Chapon created twelve drawings per day between the years of 2008 and 2012; each batch of twelve drawings equated to one whole second of screen time in terms of animation. After three years of this labour he edited them together into this rather cool short animation which, as well as being an enjoyable short [...]

Kinky and Cosy at Angoulême

Tuesday, May 8, 2012

0 Comments

Okay, I admit this very short video is in French, with Dutch subtitles, but it’s a live-action version of Nix’s Kinky and Cosy making an appearance on stage at Angoulême and frankly, language barriers aside, it’s too funny not to bung it up here to to share (plus it is very short!): And, as Wim blogged [...]

‘D’

D is a funny short animation from the Chiguire Animation Studios, in which an errant letter D has a bit of a disagreement with a rather fine-nibbed fountain pen across the desk and pages: “D” – animated short film from Closed Eye Visuals | DP on Vimeo.

The Dark Knight Rises…

Okay, we’ve just had the Avengers open and I have to say it was indeed as good as the hype and as good as I had hoped for. Much as I have huge faith normally in Joss a multi-character superhero team flick is not an easy thing to pull off, but he did so and [...]

Goody Two Shoes

I had no idea that comics creator and illustrator Rutu Modan (the acclaimed Exit Wounds and the Jamiliti collection), along with fellow member of the Israeli comics collective Actus Tragicus Batia Kolton, planned an animated series called Goody Two Shoes which would have been about a group of teenage girls in the swinging 60s. Sadly [...]

Two seasons of Star Trek at the same time

Wednesday, April 25, 2012

0 Comments

Okay, this is pretty mindblowing – 56 episodes, some two seasons’ worth, of the original Star Trek all running at the same time. What is a little alarming is just how many of them I can recognise from only a few seconds of video in those tiny little windows. This has nothing to do with [...]

One of the most successful film directors and storytellers of our time, Steven Spielberg, ponders the moment that decided what he would do with his life. It doesn’t touch directly on some of our genre favourites of his, but his thoughts on where inspiration comes from and where a dream might push us is quite [...]
