the coin

a film using felt? clearly i'm not going to pass that up! lovely 

love, death and robots

i watch hardly any tv these days, unless it's for language practice, but i was still watching it a bit when love, death and robots came out. i was really taken by the imagination, the storytelling and the general unusual nature as it first appeared on netflix. i wasn't so taken with the second series as it seemed, to me, to fall back on more recognisably 'safe' tropes for a mainstream streaming service. not so, series 3 which was definitely a return to form. what i like is the huge difference between the episodes and the fact the viewer is definitely not going to like them all. that said, the final episode stood out head and shoulders above the rest. absolutely gorgeous to watch. 

filosofighters

if you just have to have a philosophy based combat game. i believe the science based one - maybe called science mortal - is out round abut today

animation software

get drawing

fold that paper

an easy way to pass the hours - looking for animation. and worth it when you find the likes of this -



not only that but maciek janicki includes some tests to show how it might have been done. still doesn't transfer me from being a viewer to a maker!

my favourite paper animation tho, remains the new zealand book council's treatment of maurice gee's going west which is on here somewhere but i can't find it so i'm only too happy to post again
