Beauty is Embarrassing 

You don’t know it yet but, YOU LOVE WAYNE WHITE.  Wayne grew up in Chattanooga, moved to NYC in 1986 and became the designer for the hit television show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse (he also did Beakman’s World, Riders in the Sky, Bill & Wills, that’s just a few). As music videos became popularized with MTV Wayne contributed here too with Smashing Pumpkins Tonight, Tonight and Peter Gabriel’s Big Time. Check out the trailer above and click here for Wayne’s site.   

Beavis + Butthead For Real Life 

The amazing special effects make-up artist Kevin Kirkpatrick knows what nightmares are made of! He gives us a glimpse of what Mike Judge’s most famous creations would like if they passed you by on the street. 

Burton Revisits Frankenweeine !

The tale of a boy (Victor) and his dog (Sparky), Frankenweenie is one of my all time favorite Tim Burton movies. It’s not very well known and I can’t recall how it came into my possession (it was also just released as a bonus with the Nightmare Before Christmas special edition) but, if you’ve ever lost a pet in your childhood and felt the grief that comes with loosing your best friend you’ll love Frankenweenie. Originally a live action short film, Burton is redeveloping in his iconic stop motion style. Set for an October, 5th release in 2012. We’ll keep you posted for now enjoy the new pics! 

Stop Motion Filmed with a Camera Phone

Gulp is the largest stop motion to be filmed with a Nokia N8 camera phone. The film was shot in Pendine Beach, South Wales by Sumo Science at Aardman. Gulp has broken the world record for the largest stop motion animation set at an amazing 11,000 square feet. 

Conversation With A Whale 

Drew Chirstie animated this beautifully painful conversation between man & whale about the effects of humankind on our planet and our loss of compassion towards others. The message is one of inspiration and a deeper look into the kinds of conversations we should be having with ourselves. Click the pic for a link to the video ! (couldn’t post it b/c Drew’s profile is private on Vimeo) 

DC Nation.2012.Awesome

Will it be good, will it be bad ? Either way I’m down.

Coming in 2012, a new block of DC Entertainment programming on Cartoon Network. My How things have changed. When I was a kid we were lucky to have two superhero shows at a time. Now we get way too much to actually compute. This could be good,Guess we will have to wait and see.
