slow progress is still progress I guess...

Animation is the imagination laid bare for all to see, our own personal constructed realities shared with others, story telling in it's purest form, or just a bunch of funny shit drawn for people to laugh their arses off to. It's all good.

slow progress is still progress I guess...

Posted by TheBoogley - February 15th, 2010

Hey, It's been a slow week of animation for me. I'm not feeling too inspired and I'm very busy with other work so what are you gonna do? What I have done I'm pretty happy with though and before last week I was working like a machine, so I guess I'm due for some down time.

so, since I'm not doing all that much, I thought I'd show you the work of someone who has, Nick Cross. He's made two fantastic short films in the classic 40's style which are absolutely beautiful.

Yellow Cake is my personal favourite. It deals with some big issues... cake issues.

The Waif of Persephone is also amazing, it gets real evil and freaky too

.

And just to show you that he's not all doom and gloom, he made this clip about kites for Yo Gabba Gabba

MrScriblam just told me about nick's newest project and that he is looking for donations to help find it. Perhaps some of you nice people might wanna donate to it! ZekeySpaceyLizard is among the people donating.
a link to his blogpost about the project

this guy looks how I'm feeling... well, I'm not all that bothered really because I'm going to go to China some time in the next few months to dance and eat peking duck!

You sure know some great cartoons!

It's very John K. Inspired isn't it? The guy who did Ren and Stimpy.

Anyhoo - Happy Valentines Day.

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 07:09:02

yeah, very John K, but with more heart

BazookaBomber 2010-02-15 07:20:57

I didn't know about it, but now you have kind of taken care of it for me :)

icecold128 2010-02-15 08:15:23

the cats in the yellow cake movie look like germans

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 08:15:23

says you

Fate 2010-02-15 08:30:51

Great selection, as usual.
The meanings in them are both really strong (obviously not the yo gabba gabba one.
although the lyrics of the song in the Kite one are surprising, at points.

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 08:30:51

Kites are deep :)

FrozenFire 2010-02-15 10:16:18

all of these were great thanks for sharing boogleh

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 10:16:18

sharing is fun, sharing is fun, sharing is fun, sharing is fun,

Luis 2010-02-15 10:57:20

i left one of my socks at your place last night. i was thinking we could catch up sometime this week and i could get it back?

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 10:57:20

Oh that was your sock? I thought it was my cock warmer

Glunnator 2010-02-15 11:20:52

Amazed, I am. Where do you find all this stuff?

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 11:20:52 (Updated 2010-02-15 15:49:08)

I've been trawling through people I respect's likes on vimeo and Newgrounds for over a year now and constantly find amazing stuff. I also go to our yearly animation festival here in Melbourne and hang out with people who tell me about stuff.

KartuneHustla 2010-02-15 13:23:50

Nick Cross is awesome! First time ive seen the Yo Gabba Gabba one

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 13:23:50

He did another one for them too, you can find it on his vimeo page.

FatKidWitAJetPak 2010-02-15 14:08:34

How can you not feel inspired by those godly animated videos? D:

Well, try music instead. This one is one of my favorites.

I'm loving that crackling sound, thanks for the link it's beautiful

icecold128 2010-02-15 16:08:43

@TheBoogley
sorry mate i'm dutch.

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 16:08:43

no problem, my wife's family is dutch. I was just being silly

Kajenx 2010-02-15 16:17:57

Yeah, definitely more contemporary than 1940's. 1940s makes me think of Tom and Jerry and the pear shaped madness of the Silly Symphonies and Loony Tunes.

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 16:17:57

yeah... okay

omegared 2010-02-15 19:08:49

did you find my cock warmer?

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 19:08:49

I'm wearing it on my foot

BiffTheTimid 2010-02-15 19:41:42

It turns out slow progress is actually negative progress. Weird.

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 19:41:42

aww :(

Hulalaoo 2010-02-15 21:32:53

You're not planning on eating Peking Duck from The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat are you?

TheBoogley 2010-02-15 22:21:54

the very same :)

I do not know how such brainwashing filth such as Yo Gabba Gabba get on australian tv. The repetitiveness is infuriating. THE REPETITIVENESS IS INFURIATING!!!

eammy you're fucking gay

TheBoogley 2010-02-16 08:57:26

You shouldn't judge him, just because he's wrong.
Has YoGabbaGabba taught you nothing? :3

142201 2010-02-21 02:36:41

Going to China! I'm jealous. I've been to Hong Kong, and I love it there. The food is AMAZING.

TheBoogley 2010-02-21 02:36:41

good news! I can't wait to get my hands on some Peking duck! :D

MorrowDays 2010-02-21 20:20:21

they're great by the way.

TheBoogley 2010-02-21 20:20:21

Daikon555 2010-02-22 19:19:12
