Forever Pavot- “Green Nap” by Nicolas Fong

14 Mar

I love the the groovy drawn smoke swirls in this animated music video by Nicolas Fong for the Parisian band Green Nap.

You can find more Nicolas Fong’s work including a bunch of psychedelic GIFS on his http://those-visions-have-no-end.tumblr.com/ site.

Flairs

14 Mar
This video feels to me like a showcase of the toys that were advertised on the Nickelodeon network when I was growing up. Floam, Gak, Koosh balls. And then there’s the wardrobe… somewhere along the lines of Wayne’s World from a different world.

And if you weren’t sold on the first selection, here’s a list of all the ways that Lionel Flairs is allegedly better than Prince.

Jan Svankmajer films

2 Mar

It was hard to believe. I searched the DPV a number of time before I could believe that we don’t have anything by Czech master Jan Svankmajer yet. For those of you who don’t know Svankmajer, a more significant  introduction to the work of the Czech animator might be required than I can supply here, and you can find some information here on wikipedia.

Here I’ll just say that Svankmajer is a highly renowned animator and filmmaker whose work has been celebrated by the likes of Terry Gilliam and Milos Forman ever since the 1980s. These two short movies, “Dimensions of Dialogue” and “Tma, Svetlo, Tma” should serve as a decent introduction to his highly surrealistic world.

Galimatias – Amount to Nothing (2014)

28 Feb

 

Engrossing short motion graphic composition by Ono Mato (animated in Apophysis) includes the hallmarks of generative psychedelia, rainbow colours and fractal recursion.
