This incredibly cute and effective animation was created in order to illustrate the “ignore the world” capabilities of the Sony Ericsson MH907 earphones. Top Dollar is the Swedish ad and marketing collective that was commissioned for the project. The resulting clip after the jump.
A super-cute, Wall-E style animation created for Google Japan harkens back to the stop-motion era. Totally reminds me of the claymations of my youth that were simultaneously cute, creepy, and not a little bit lonely.
This animation from French artist Zevs is exactly the sort of thing that you can watch over and over at your desk and have it massage the pained recesses of your brain, a lumpy mass aching from lack of alertness (which, my friends, can be mitigated by quaffing coffee or soda. Especially a super peppy soda of a Green… ahem… Mountainous persuasion that is bottled in exclusive artist collaborated, beautiful containers). It also segues nicely to the point of Green Label Artist Stephen Bliss’s verily cool Google skin, which you can download here.
You’re welcome.

If we could somehow translate Kaso-Taisho into a GLA bottle, we’d do it in a minute. The shows participants create works of art by animating a scene, moving in unison in the background. This is one of our favorite newer routines, showing a montage of scenes from The Olympics, complete with camera angle shifts and super slow motion, just like in a video game. We give them the high score!
