The episode, which will screen at next month’s Pictoplasma event in Berlin, includes a very plucky score (by David Kamp) that also helps inject some sound-effects along the way. The episode is titled Cloud.

It’s test footage of a an AT-AT walker, Sutherland-style. I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see where this all going, but it sure looks interesting….

I like how the short gets sorta self-aware at the end.

The seatbelt light is on, and things are about to get bumpy. Nick DiLiberto’s rockin’ Medusa short is a tour de force of traditional animation and white-knuckle demon-fighting. I believe we’re watching Perseus in his quest to kill the angry snake-headed lady we read about in high school. Mike Nassar sent me this link, and then I spotted a short interview with DiLiberto over at Canadian Animation Resources. The Canadian-born animator is currently working at a video game studio in Japan (BioWare, I think), but he’s got more classical 2D shorts in the works. We’ll surely keep you updated, ‘cuz this dude has crazy good skills. [NSFW - tasteful animated frontal nudity]

It’s a story told from the perspective of a dog, and it was originally written by Dave Eggers (who more recently co-wrote the Where the Wild Things Are screenplay), then titled After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned. Here’s a trailer:
