San Francisco Animation Festival

Alright, short industry report on how it was on the international animation festival in San Francisco.

The whole thing was in “Landmark’s Embarcadero Center Cinema” in San Francisco. I’ve attended to the most film screens in the 4 days program.
Some of them were good, some of them just awesome, so here it is, all the good stuff that I was able to find in the net.
I’ll start with musical, cos’ in my taste it was the best category af all.

Gorillaz: Stylo (Jamie Hewlett, Pete Candeland, England)

The Light of Life (Daihei Shibata, Japan)

Mark Ronson: Bang, Bang, Bang (Warren Fu, England)

Das Racist: Who’s That? Brooown! (Thomas de Napoli, USA)

Chairlift: Evident Utensil (Ray Tintori, USA)
The effect is called datamoshing. look on youtube for the how to video

Grizzly Bear: Two Weeks (Patrick Daughters, USA)

Knalpot: Casio Halbzeit (Martha Colburn, USA)

Muto (Blu, Brazil)

Mobile (Verena Fels, Germany)
This short was one of the greatest, however I couldn’t find anything online except Jacob Frey reel, he was one of the animators on that production.

I Forgive You (Pierre Mousquet, Cauwe Jérôme, Belgium)

Love & Theft (Andreas Hykade, Germany)

Trailers
The Lost Thing Trailer (Andrew Ruhemann, Shaun Tan, Australia)
