- The titles for Novaya Zemlya take the postcards-in-space aesthetic to the extreme.
- “Early… and terrifying”: the stop-motion Jolly Green Giant.
- Happy New End features a giant Elvis robot, among many, many other things.
- Dig the collage stylings of Mysh and Mashko’s animation The Battery Menace.
- No motion graphics are involved, but this depiction of base-jumping/wingsuit madness deserves a nod just for the cinematography. [Via Joe Nack]

[Whatever I can do to help, man. 😉 –J.]

[Neat! The film gets off to a slow start, but it’s worth sticking around until the fire starts hitting around the 1-minute mark. Thanks for the link. –J.]
Your blog usually adds an extra 5 minutes or so to my morning browsing.
[Man, think of the collective number of billable hours I’m helping destroy each day! (Multiply five minutes times my total readership, and you’re talking about dozens of minutes.) 😉 –J.]

I can almost hear DC’s humorous take on the URL.
[I’ll queue this to watch while working out sometime soon; thx for the link. Btw, I’ll probably never be able to refer to Carson as something other than “David Car-Five-on,” as an old art director of mine used to insist on pronouncing it (based on DC’s signature mashed-up type). –J.]
