When it comes to animation, I think the students of this world have uncanny ability at making incredible pieces of animation that both astound me with their beauty and kill me with their humour.
Recently when strolling my way through Drawn.ca I was struck with awe at this incredible animation called Salesman Pete.
At first I was intrigued at seeing a 2D animation, with such a graphic element to the style. Eventually after watching it I realised its actually animated in 3D, but obviously using a flat shading to get the style.

Not only is this a visually stunning piece of work, but it seems like it has a fantastic bit of humour about it too.

Some other animations to make a note of.

“Alma” Creepy as hell...

“Crater Face“, to put a tear in everyone’s eye
