John Lennon met the walrus

In 1969, a 14-year-old Bea­tle fanatic named Jerry Lev­i­tan snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and con­vinced him to do an inter­view. 38 years later, Lev­i­tan, direc­tor Josh Raskin and illus­tra­tor James Braith­waite have col­lab­o­rated to cre­ate an ani­mated short film using the orig­i­nal inter­view record­ing as the sound­track. A spell­bind­ing ves­sel for Lennon’s bound­less wit and time­less mes­sage, I Met the Wal­rus was nom­i­nated for the 2008 Acad­emy Award for Ani­mated Short.

Three Frames

Three Frames is a Tum­blr–Blog project post­ing ani­mated .gif files. The gif ani­ma­tion always con­sists of three con­sec­u­tive frames from a movie, played in a loop. This cre­ates funny, but mostly weird images, so take a look and post a com­ment if you can guess which movie is featured!

The truth about global warming

The zoo-plankton, the small­est form of aquatic life, have gath­ered, grouped and orga­nized them­selves in a mil­i­tary way in order to invade, con­quer and rule the world just like their fore­fa­thers did dur­ing their Pri­mal Soup heigh­days, about 3 mil­lion years ago.Being aquatic they do have one major prob­lem …dry land and lots of it. They know all too well that this prob­lem has to be dealt with or there will be no inva­sion. Their leader, Com­man­der Medusa comes up with a strat­egy, a 4 steps action plan which will lead them to their ulti­mate goal. He gives his sin­is­ter mas­ter plan the omi­nous name: Oper­a­tion Inva­sion, code­name Global Warming.
