Nick Cross is apparently animating an entire feature-length film titled Black Sunrise. This is the second trailer he has released. It looks promising.
Apparently this music video uses animation/film all taken from the 1920′s. That must have been a fun decade.
“A montage of works from the past year, ranging from live performance visuals with renowned VJ Vello Virkhaus to interactive installations for our agency and client partners.” – Leviathan

Stash has posted their best videos from 2011 and if you lean more toward the motion, animation, 3d and broadcast side of the creative business, it’s an inspiring list to pick through.
This is actually Chris Moberg first ever demo reel. So if I were you, I’d be on the lookout for this guy in 2012. Solid work.

Brazilian motion studio Beeld has updated with new projects. They show a lot of promise with some colorful and highly illustrated new animation work. It’s bright, fun and cool.
Production studio Royale has updated with a new site for the Holidays that includes some visually stunning motion design, animation, illustration and design work. There is no doubting the talent involved and from the pictures on the site, it looks like a very nice place to work.

“This Short Film Animation Project has been created by students of The Animation School to gain vital work experience.” Well okay then. This is a pretty amazing piece for student work. It seems like there has been a lot of that going around lately. Stick around at the end to see the credits for all involved.
My Bloody Lad is the work of 4 ‘animateurs’, Cyrille Chauvin, Guillaume Dousse, Thibaud Petitpas and Pierre Rutz who are all students at l’Ecole des Gobelins. To see the full credit list please visit this link.

David O Reilly does his wonderful thing for Tim and Eric who are even more wonderful in their own fantastically weird yet totally hilarious way. And those very adjectives perfectly describe what’s on display here. Awesome.

This animated video that utilizes bright color and deceptively simple line work (which was no doubt complex to create) by Luke Gibbs is nothing short of awesome.
Jens Blank makes great use of live action footage and 3D in this fun little experimental piece that quickly evolves from something very low-fi to a solid amount of production value.
