dOn't LiE To Me.... your face tells the truth!

Hey, looking through animation blog I found this video about a new program from FOX called "Lie to me". I saw the trailer and it looks pretty interesting, ashamed that is not currently in Mexico.

Anyway, this besides being a really original and interesting tv show, it will be pretty helpful for animators 2d and 3d for facial rigging and expressions. Take a look!

New pIxAr short!!!!

Yeap, as you heard it, a new animated short from Pixar, thanks to the author and idea creator Peter Shon. Here is a brief story about how it started....

In this film, clouds not only take on the familiar animal shapes we often see forming above, but cloud people actually create real babies. One cloud, Gus, has mastered the art of creating beautiful, but especially dangerous infants – crocodiles, porcupines, and others like that – and they make the delivery service increasingly difficult for Peck, the stork.

... Animated films are still his passion, though. In fact, one Disney film that he saw with his mother when he was a child influenced “Partly Cloudy.”

“The idea came from ‘Dumbo,’” Sohn says. “I’ve seen that film so many times. There’s a scene in the beginning where a stork delivers animal babies and the last one he delivers is Dumbo. I always wondered where the birds get the babies. Then I realized that they come from clouds and that’s why they have to be delivered by birds. I just dine on those early films.”

It’s a diet that has served him well.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!!!!

Hey guys, driving through the web haha, it sounds funny... I found this amazing designer, for me a typography designer. His name is Pablo Abad, a graphic designer and art director in Madrid, Spain.

He is guided by typography and for sure you can appreciate this in his portfolio. I was really amazed and I like it a lot. Typography is a world full of letters that can be transformed into beauty.

WhaT wiLd Things!

Hey you! I found this video trailer today. I saw it last year at my school in Vancouver. It reminded me my friend Louie, he was so excited about it. He keep saying about this book his mom read to him when he was little.

To be sincere, I have no idea of this book... But it's actually pretty famous. So I'll have to read it.
This video is amazing, I would love to see the making of.

What do you think about it?
