La Verdad, directed by Juan Delcan and commissioned by Chilevision, is a few months old but well worth going back to. It is a soulful exploration of the many truths embedded in the human psyche. (A subtitled version can be seen on the Nola Pictures vimeo page.) November 27, 2011

This one nearly slipped our radar, but we’re glad it didn’t. Also checkout Weareseventeen’s new site, launched this summer. ‘Awesome times’
section features their self-initiated projects. Worth exploring, I promise thee.
Simple concept, elegant execution. Directed by Andrew Douglas (Anonymous Content) via ad agency Cutwater with post-production by Digital Domain.
Amsterdam-based agency Selmore selected Matthijs van Heijningen (Bonkers) to direct this epic tale of a water drop’s lifelong mission to join his breathren as a pint of Bavaria Beer. While the denouement in chuckle-worthy and nicely paced, the real replay value comes from the lush CG work from Eight VFX. Each scene is fully realized and full of nearly tangible depth.
As an aside: the concept reminds me of a bit of a photo-realistic retelling of the oft-admired Guinness “Dot” spot from Psyop and agency IIBBDO Dublin.

My first introduction to French duo Gangpol & Mit (Guillaume Castagne and Sylvain Quément) was through their music. It wasn’t until recently that I learned they are as involved in the creation of animation as they are in concocting their unique blend of electronica.
Their latest DVD, Faits Divers (Pictoplasma Publishing), is a collection of 18 audio-visual offspring from Gangpol & Mit’s collaborative relationship. According to Pictoplasma, “Guillaume emails some graphics to Sylvain, who then composes a melody and sends it back – or Sylvain coughs up a tune and has Guillaume translate it into animated worlds.”
