London-based Art & Graft recently produced this long-form spot for Spectrum, a charity that helps treat autism. Along with the film, Art & Graft also rebranded the company in the process.

The talented gang at London’s Bird Box Studio have delivered one of the more inventive and engaging holiday animations I’ve ever seen. It starts off rather unassuming, but stick with it, put a sweater on and get yer clicking finger ready for some action. Here’s Singing Christmas Hedgehogs (after you hit one of the onscreen buttons, you’ll have to click the play button again):

Tom Jenkins’ new stop-motion film, Address Is Approximate, is not only a moving piece of film, it’s a damn clever use of technology. Using Google Street View, Jenkins sets a loney desk toy on a very unusual road trip.

Studio AKA’s David Prosser designed and directed this new spot for Statoil, the Norwegian energy company. Live action seamlessly blends into gorgous CG animation, telling the tale of a father and his daughter at storytime. The 60 second spot is titled Goodnight.

The BBC just aired a biopic titled Holy Flying Circus, which takes us back to 1979 when Monty Python was making their controversial, religious satire, Monty Python’s Life of Brian. You can see a clip or two from the hour and half film on YouTube, but below is the behind-the-scenes assembly from the Nexus-produced title sequence. BAFTA award winning Animation Director Jim Le Fevre illustrates the extremely complicated process of building his largest Phonotrope creation to date. Around the 2:15 mark you will see the entire title sequence, even a part that was cut from the final production. It’s a real tribute to Terry Gilliam, the American-born member of the troupe, who created all of the animated elements in the vast Monty Python library. More background on the effort on Le Fevre’s blog.

The UK’s Mustashrik Mahbub served as the animation director for this new Müller yogurt spot. Antoine Bardou-Jaquet directed the spot, titled Wünderful Stuff, which features a number of familiar animated characters, including Yogi Bear, Muttley and the Mr. Men cast. The piece was produced by PartizanLab and The Mill.

A few years back, Sarah Wickens, while studying at The Royal College of Art in the UK, created this unique, stop-motion piece titled What Light.
