Calma – Strange Enough

One Brazilian artist I have been following for nearly 6 years now is Calma aka Stephan Doitschinoff. I’ve been lucky to meet him a number of times during his career and helped with his monograph published by Die Gastalten.

So in a new departure for the artist it was great to find out about this animation which features Calma’s art beautifully.

Titled N.A.S.A. Project: “Strange Enough,” ft. Karen O, Fatlip, Ol’ Dirty Bastard (music video) it can be found here on youtube.

Stop motion updates

Both Sam3 and Ericailcane have recently completed some brilliant stop motion animations.

The first Nadadores a ceramic animation by Sam3/2010, is an earth poem filmed in Murcia’s outskirts.

It is the first time I’ve ever seen an artist animating ceramics! To do this he had to create a number of ceramics at different stages.

The second animation comes from Ericailcane – called Ammazzarne uno per Educarne 100 which beautifully combines puppetry and drawing

Sam3 stop motion

Sam3’s new stop motion is a triumph of low-fi. One of those films you wished you had made yourself – but of course you didn’t so hats off to Sam.

I’m huge fan of all of  Sam3’s work – he has a great commitment to his work and comes up with many beautiful ideas. Its also been a real pleasure to work with him in the past with projects like Santa’s Ghetto in Bethlehem and Cans Festival.

He’s produced a few stop motion films before but this is instantly my favourite..

Blu and David Ellis

Blu has been busy with a huge animation production this year – but managed to find some extra time to work on this wonderful collaborative animation with David Ellis at this year’s Fame Festival.

Its a wonderful piece of work from two artists famous for their stop frame animation.
