THE LION KING: ORIGINAL CONCEPT ART
some rarely seen concept art from this classic animated film.
I Believe I Can Fly (Flight of the Frenchies) is a documentary by Seb Montaz that follows Montez and his group of friends as they travel the world highlining and baselining (walking a tightrope across two very high points and jumping with a parachute from a high building or natural formation). From the cityscape of Paris to the fjords, to the Alps, this stunning HD film provides breathtaking views of nature and a front row seat to terrifying leaps of faith that could make your head explode (especially if you are afraid of heights as I am). The film is both gorgeous and provocative, infusing a bit of the edgy rock and roll attitude this group of friends possesses. It is clear they have deep ties; they trust each other with their lives. The adrenaline rush alone is contagious to the viewer as the heavy breathing and wide-eyed expressions are caught with great expertise by the HD cameras strapped to the jumpers’ heads.

Discovery of this achievement of Russian animation with Qwaqa PencilHead drawn entirely by hand and full of references to scenes of Evangelion, Tank Girl, Ponyo or Paprika. A nice mix of styles and effects of depth or texture.

You can find different genres in these movies like heart-touching film One life, frightening film The Passenger.
Gynoid 1.5
By Michael-LonerganGynoid V1.5 Was originally a personal animation experiment which went on too long. I wasn’t motivated enough to finish it. So I decided to turn the model into a poster showcasing the final Gynoid model I made In C4D. I’m currently work on V2 from the ground up to improve on this model.

Cinemagraphs
So it looks like the animated GIF might finally grow up and become sophisticated. NYC photographer and active blogger on Tumblr, Jamie - “From Me To You” recently brought the talented Coco Rocha to life with a series of cinemagraphs.
Through my new friends at tumblr headquarters I’ve recently come in contact with a very talented new photographer named Jamie. She and her boyfriend create these unique images she calls “cinemagraphs” - more than a photo, but not quite a video.
Mark my words friends, this art form is the way of the future.On a side note Oh So Coco was one of the first sites to use the MARS theme.
