Whilst I’m on animation, I was thinking about other animators I like and remembered Cyriak. He’s brilliant too. Dark, crude, twisted and just plain bonkers and all the better for it.
Is a total stop frame animation genius. This is a new one from him.
And this is an older one
I'd love us to work on a project with him.

From Channel 4 (4Creative I’d imagine) for upcoming Stanley Kubrick season. They always seem to have some decent promotional budgets and do a good job. This one shot steady cam clip is really nicely done.
I read the Evening Standard on the way home last night and it was the most depressing way to spend forty five minutes. I have never read more downbeat headlines in my life – house price crash, jobs losses, RECESSION LOOMING. The worst thing about the whole ‘Credit Crunch’ (some journalist must be loving the fact they made that one up) is that the papers seem to be positively reveling in delivering us the barrage of bad news. If you were not panicking before THEN DO IT NOW BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS S**T. No wonder polls suggest lack of consumer confidence. With this type of screaming negativity shoved in your face every day, it’s a self fulfilling prophecy.
I think it is probably about time someone started a new news brand that only dealt in ‘Good News’.
It would aggregate global news feeds and cover only the positive things going on in the world every day (of which there are lots). Good News could have it’s own website, paper column, Monday morning email and podcast to take to work with you so that you didn’t arrive wanting to slit your wrists.
Radio ad over their website homepage for unintentionally hilarious results. Turn that sound up.
There’s nothing to this clip apart from loads of nostalgia. It popped into my inbox and deserves another airing. I think I like the muppets more now than I did back then. Which is weird.
A nice thing from Poke NY. A youtube streaming channel that you just hit space bar to trawl through. Like it.
Just a concept at the moment but a good one I think. See your bread being toasted so you don’t have to keep running over to check it. Can withstand temperatures of up to 900 degrees. Snaps apart for easy cleaning. Nice.
Stripped back to the bone. How cool are these bikes? Made by Confederate in the US. The type of thing Judge Dredd would ride.
