Some selected animated music videos for Annecy 06

Grand Drive "Maybe I'm a Winner" (Dir. Trunk (Steve Smith, Siri Melchior & Layla Atkinson)) Again CGI recreating puppetry imaginery mfile.akamai.com wanna see more of trunk?

Sean Sennet "Love is my Kite" (Dir. Michael Gracey & Pete Commins) Problem here is music and video totally unfit each other, oddly enough when both aim to certain air of sugar-coated naiveness (which is not a bad thing per se if you apply the correct treatment) www.partizanlab.com 21,47 mb (boy, aren't we abusing that partizan site relaunch...)

2Revoluxion "Relax Yourself" (Dir. Diego Alvarez) On the other hand see how this one truly manages to materialize a haunting sense of slowness fitting the track perfectly (and probably with a lower budget) www.lepixma.com 12,35 mb

Thomas Fersen "Hyacinthe" (Joann Sfar & Kerascoët (Marie Pommepuy & Sébastien Cosset)) Traditional drawn animation for a dark story www.totoutard.com streaming select Hyacinthe digitaldownload.warnermusic.fr big 48 mb (link via fous d'anim)

Ignatus "Les p'tits chiens" (Dir. Olivier Martin) This one is for the classic clay stopmotion fans outta there www.ignatub.com 4,50 mb

Velcra "Memory Loss" (Dir. Christer (Chrzu) LINDSTRÖM) www.velcra.com jumbo size 90mb file what? you're not downloading 90mb, you say? then i'll tell you what you're missing: a very indie goth-looking piece of mixed animation

• grand drive/trunk: kind of self-defeating
• sennet/gracey&commins: nice lighting&sets, but so much wrong (character animation, etc.)
• revoluxion/alvarez: spooky cool (res!), just too much writing and silly cameos
• ignatus/martin: charmant
• fersen/pommepuy&cosset: fucking vicious - but nicely drawn. like raymond briggs on bad crack.
• velcra/chrzu: sssick

thx a bunch, tg
