Finally: Man as Industrial Palast Animation
This has taken too long to be animated, but finally Henning Lederer did it: Fitz Kahns’ Man As Industrial Palast (animated).
For thousands of years human beings have used metaphors as ways of understanding the body. We talk about our ‘ear drums’, or our ‘mind’s eye’. When we are in love we say our hearts are ‘bursting’ or ‘broken’. When we are nervous we say we have ‘butterflies in our stomach’. When we are impatient we have ‘itchy feet’. These familiar images help to explain the unfamiliar and to comprehend the complexity of our bodies.
The image above, by the artist Fritz Kahn, shows the nervous system as a complex electronic signalling system, complete with buttons, charts and busy workers. Fritz Kahn’s books and illustrations explored the inner machinery of the human body, using metaphors of modern industrial life. Kahn turned the brain into a complex factory with light projectors, conveyor belts, secretaries and cinema screens; he showed the journeys of blood cells as locomotives encircling the globe; and he compared bones to modern building materials such as reinforced concrete.
Paul Rudish’s 3 Dog Band
Paul Rudish of Dexter’s Lab, Star Wars: Clone Wars has made the short ’3 Dog Band’ for Cartoon Network and although there are some good elements in this short, I somehow am disappointed by the boring characters. Judge it yourself.

Toy Story 3-D trailer [HD]
Pixar always sets new standards in the animation sector. This time they set standards by having a go at their own previous versions of Toy Story. The trailer of Toy Story 3-D (Toy Story 1 + Toy Story 2) promises lots for the upcoming movie.
Knight Fever by Crush, more animation shorts
BANG by Crush is another short for your viewing pleasure. Waste valuable company time now.
Another short: Voltage
If anyone understands this short, well done. I don’t but it looks cool, doesn’t it?
Just like modular synthesizers, people connect with each other in order to achieve diverse objectives. In Voltage, robots, half-human and half-synthesizer, powered by a huge amount of energy, connect to each other in an electric and chaotic trance.

Elephants Dream
I might be late to the party with this one, but if you got 10 minutes, you definitely have to look at this ‘open source’ animation movie.
Elephants Dream is the world’s first open movie, made entirely with open source graphics software such as Blender, and with all production files freely available to use however you please, under a Creative Commons license.
The short film was created by the Orange Open Movie Project studio in Amsterdam during 2005/2006, bringing together a diverse team of artists and developers from all over the world.
