Create your own animation at The Zimmer Twins website. It’s a great way to put different elements together and then put them into a timeline to create a little short film. Here’s one I made earlier…


I Met the Walrus

July 8, 2008

Here’s an interview conducted by a 14 year old kid (or is that a young man at that age – discuss!) back in that famous year of 1969 with John Lennon. This short was nominated for an Oscar in 2008.

There’s also a high quality version of the film at the YouTube screening room


When the Day Breaks

March 14, 2008

And now for something totally different. This is like a kitchen sink drama with farmyard animals. The point of view dips and swirls through the day in the life of a pig and a chicken. This short film is beautifully drawn and executed by Canadian animators Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbes. No wonder it was nominated for an Oscar back in 2001 for Best Animated Short.
