Made up of hundreds of cut-out color ads presented in fragmented, rapid succession, this animated short takes a critical look at consumerism in a material world. Seductive advertising is seen as the main motivating force in shaping the desires, the needs and, to a large degree, the lives of modern men and women.

When Madame Tutli-Putli was first being discussed as a concept for an animated short film, one of the most important creative issues was how to bring human emotion and expressiveness to stop-motion puppets.

Portrait artist Jason Walker created the technique of adding composited human eyes to the stop motion puppets. Walker developed a system of separating and analyzing the previously shot stop-motion puppet moves, choreographing, rehearsing and shooting a human actor’s corresponding “eye performance” to match each puppet move, at the same time recreating as closely as possible all light and shadow passes original to the stop-motion. Once the human eyes were shot, each eye was individually positioned, scaled, re-timed and digitally composited onto the puppet scenes on a frame by frame basis.
The creation of the film and this extraordinarily painstaking process took 4 years from concept to completion of the 20min Shortfilm by Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski.

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview. 38 years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrator James Braithwaite have collaborated to create an animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack. A spellbinding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit and timeless message, I Met the Walrus was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short. (via)

Stephen and Timothy Quay (born June 17, 1947) are American identical twin brothers better known as the Quay Brothers. Most of their films feature dolls, often partially disassembled, in a dark, moody atmosphere. Perhaps their best known work is Street of Crocodiles, based on the short novel of the same name by the Polish author and artist Bruno Schulz. This short film was selected by director and animator Terry Gilliam as one of the ten best animated films of all time.
