Is there really what seems to be an endless and sustained appetite among audiences for all this volatile and nonsensical megalomania? Looking at the long list of credits I have to wonder how so many undoubtedly young people can get together and agree that they will put all their best efforts into making the millionth pathological audio and visual noise maker around.

Sadly, Paul, I just watched an interview with the famous stop motion animator Ray Harryhausen, who passed away at the age of 92 some days ago, and he said that this was exactly the case. He said young audiences were brainwashed by television and they expect an explosion every five minutes or so. Worse still, he said that in the 1980's! That's why he chose to retire back then...

As for this animation, though, I have been amazed by it for days and days, but only today found out it was made in TVPaint. (literally minutes ago) Why isn't TVPaint plastering this all over the place? Considering how popular this short is on the web, globally, I am certain it would bring thousands of interested eyes to TVP.

Paul Fierlinger wrote:In addition I would like to note my observation that too many films made by young and talented animators with good skills stemming from good training, too often succumb to a common cheat: if you make everything move at breakneck speeds with lots of bangs and thunderous SFX to accentuate dynamism while keeping the lengths of clips to a bear minimum of frames, you won't have to work as hard to make an impression.

As to speak about Gobelins specifically, in the past couple of years I have realized, that most of the students, despite being superb talented animators, they all work in exactly the same standard "gobelins" style with no variety or understanding whatsoever of this wider diversion that animation can offer. All their personal short films look exactly the same, and you can't even tell one talent from another - all you see is "gobelins". It looks more like they are being prepared for one type of commercial work, and that's it... After those years of training in a school like that, I guess, they, unconsciously, can't even think differently and probably can't easily break out of this cage in later years. I think this would answer your question about how and why do all those talented young people come together to make such films... I must say though, that I still do love some of their shorts.

Thank you for sharing the trailer

Great to see TVPaint being used for Erick Oh's new film "The Dam Keeper" -

“Aurora” by Aimee de Jongh .

The behind-the-scenes film (in Dutch) shows many shots of animators working with TVPaint.







Dutch animator Aimée de Jongh graduated in Animation at the Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam
and at KASK in Ghent. She directed her first animated film at the age of 22, when she made her graduation film
"One Past Two". The film, about two scholars who are unaware of their death,
won the WDKA Maaskantprijs 2013. Aimée is also a comicbook artist and publishes the popular series "Snippers" daily
in the Dutch newspaper Metro. More of her work can be found at: www.aimeedejongh.com

I've seen this one at a festival where he won a prize - a real masterpiece!

This film is not yet complete , but is seeking funding (via Kickstarter) . The animator , Hilary Moses, is using TVPaint to make the film.
