The Ephemerist

We mentioned the animation that Chris Ware did for This American Life before. Here’s a new one, from season two, which is quite nice as well.  And recognisable.

Pim Braeckeveldt is a young Belgian illustrator and animator who can do absolutely anything. He’s an alumnus of the RITS school, and his film ‘Lay Down This World’ recently was awarded the Prix spécial du jury at the Charleroi Festimages festival. Check out his site, and be amazed.

What if Saul Bass had done the titles for Star Wars ? Check it out here. I dig the soundtrack !

A DC Comics fan mixed clips from a wide array of films to create what could be a real JLA film trailer. I think I’d go and see it.

(Thanks, Christian)

It’s only 42 seconds, but what seconds !

I just wanted to say that the Persepolis website (for the movie) is a beautiful affair. My screenshot above does it no justice at all, so please visit the site and judge for yourself.

Please. Don’t suck.

Oh, and that goes for you too. Be warned.

Yesterday on The Simpsons : Art Spiegelman, Alan Moore and Dan Clowes appear at a cooler comics store than Comic Book Guy’s. More pictures at scans_daily.

This is the official poster for the US release of Marjane Satrapi’s feature animation film “Persepolis“. I like it - it really reflects the mood of the book. I hope the film does too.

… to lie to people.  I hope this is a joke, a parody, whatever.  I fail to understand how cutting edge talent and rather antiquated beliefs go hand in hand.  I truly don’t.
