W3V2

The internet and sites such as YouTube and aniBOOM are making it very easy for animators to share their animation in all of its forms (stop motion, claymation, computer graphics) with others. There are many websites devoted to animation and these sites serve as a place for community, contests and forums. I ran across an Aniboom video on Youtube and have been broadcasting several from this site on our TVs because they are short, humorous and translate very well without music.

Aniboom is a worldwide animation website and forum where animators can upload their work and participate in contests.In their current contest, animators create videos using songs from Radiohead’s new album, inRainbows. The winner gets $10,000 to create an actual video for Radiohead and marketing support for the video from aniBOOM. Serious business. To view the videos that have been submitted for this contest so far, go to http://www.aniboom.com/radiohead/.

These are the videos that I have chosen to display on our TVs:

Cheese by Peter Harakaly (Vancouver Film School)

Lolly Poo Lee by Sushant Dholakai

Peas by Vincent Prijent

Bananas by Zach Parrish

Space Alone by Ilias Sounas (Aniboom awards finalist)
