Did it just get cold in here? I think a window is open. Or maybe it’s this eerie ghost floating on my laptop screen.

Q-hyun Kim, an animation student at New York’s School of Visual Art has revealed a teaser for an upcoming thesis project titled Mirror. Eighteen months in the making, the project follows two cats from different worlds who swap places. The full short will arrive next month. Stay tuned!
Buenos Aires-based Flamboyant Paradise was called into duty for this new CG spot for a biopark/zoo in their homeland. Javier Lourenço and Antoine Quairiat directed the ad which pits Birds versus Wallabies:
Second year studetns at the Denmark-based school The Animation Workshop were recently challenged to create animated trailers inspired by classic films. Here’s 2 of my favorites:

Mon Oncle (inspired by Jacques Tati’s film of the same name)
Put on your headphones for this next one – it’s a music video by Paf Paf, a team of 5 CGI designer/animators from across France. They are Corentin Bachelet, Gilles Cortella, Augustin Clermont, Adrien Jalade and Juliette Grandjonc, many of whom are attending Gobelins in Paris. The track is from the Canadian band Misteur Valaire. Très Magnifique!
