Origami In the Pursuit of Perfection

This is a really wonderful little video telling the story of a shoe company. I love the how clean the composition is, the use of repetition, and the animation of origami, which ties into the culture of company's home. The narrator also has a very captivating voice. This combination of wonderful elements makes watching this advertisement fun.

ABC Cinema

This is a video sort of like the one that Jen posted a couple weeks back where you're supposed to guess the movie titles that the animation alludes to.  There are really great transitions and motion effects. I like how all of the content is more or less framed within the circle in the middle. It unifies the scenes but also provides a good way to break expectations.

Fluffy McCloud

I like this animation a lot–it's very charming! I appreciate the combination of hand drawing, stop motion, and live action. There is a bit of humor in the story and a cute little cloud starring as the protagonist. The film was done by a graduate student at the Institute of Art, Design, and Technology National Film School.
