Four awesome animations on YouTube
My one-year old daughter Phoebe has woken up from her afternoon nap so I’m introducing her to YouTube. I spent a lot of time with her older sister Leda on my knee watching YouTube videos a couple of years ago – it’s time for Phoebe to explore the world of online video.
I have a number of favorites that I’ve watched many times, quite often as much for me as for the children. In case you haven’t seen them before, here are these choice morsels – hope you enjoy them!
1. Big Buck Bunny
A collaborative effort to promote the (awesome) open source 3D platform Blender – outstanding!
2. Pigeon Impossible
This started as an experiment with 3D animation and became a 5 year project which has won numerous awards.
3. Jakarta “One Desire”
An animation of Jakarta’s dancing punk baby from dancing baby-mad France.

4. Alive with Technology
Ad for Citroen C4 depicting a car transforming into a massive dancing robot. It was a great early example of using motion capture, and has been attributed to District 9 director Neill Blomkamp.
