Woolf + Lapin collaborator Coolrain Lee builds some awesome handmade action figurines.
This Seoul-based talent has been working with Nike, among others, and putting out some very cool work in the process.
He’s also done some pretty wicked stuff for the NBA.
Check out the images of a Kobe Bryant figurine.
Here’s an interview with first-time director John Kahrs.
He discusses the impetus of his apparently groundbreaking animation short: missed connections.
According to slashfilm.com, the film introduces “a groundbreaking technique that seamlessly merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques. First-time director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a bold new direction with “Paperman.” Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute.”
Disney employees have tweeted the film and some go so far as to claim it’s “the dawn of a new age in animation.”
The short is scheduled to premiere in theaters with Wreck-It Ralph this November.
Woolf + Lapin a eu le grand plaisir d’assister à l’avant première de “Sous la peau, la nuit” de la chorégraphe canadienne Danièle Desnoyers et sa compagnie Le Carré des lombes.
C’est du grand art.
Un gros bravo à Danièle Desnoyers, ses interprètes (tous radieux et magiques, vraiment) et collaborateurs.
La pièce est présentée au Festival Transamériques 2012 (2, 3 et 4 juin, Usine C).
Faites vite, certaines représentations sont déjà à guichet fermé.
Here, Duncan gives an interview about the inspiration behind his short film.
Interesting to note that in 2010 Duncan won the 12th edition of the COURS ÉCRIRE TON COURT annual scriptwriting competition for the film script of The Horse Latitudes.
Some months back we blogged the work of a Montreal street artist before ever knowing who he was.
He hooked up with us a while after our blog post.
His street name is Stikki Peaches.
Then we all agreed it would be profoundly awesome to have our Woolf + Lapin crew shadow him on one of his nightly runs.
Besides mashing pop cultural images he always leaves the snarky cutline “What If Art Ruled the World?” on his pasties.
What do you think?
Should art rule the world?
Here is a pic we got from the St. Hubert Tunnel at Rosemont.
This very cool and very out of the box stencil of Léa Roback came with several others of feminist labor movement figures.
Is this the work of a female street artist?
Would love to know.
In the meantime, a couple of months back we blogged the work of the street artist responsible for the pasties with the cutline “What if art Ruled the World?”
And just a couple of weeks back we hooked up with him.
He is the artist known as Stikki Peaches.
Woolf + Lapin produced an interview with him.
We will post it here soon.
Stay tuned…
Elle est sur la page frontispice d’Elle Québec.
Elle est partout la Béatrice. Bravo à elle.
Aussi, nous soulignons une des ses collaborations passées avec notre réalisateur Jérémie Saindon pour le clip Ensemble (tout près de 5 millions de cliques).
Woolf + Lapin collaborators Aardman, of Angry Kid and Wallace and Gromit fame, are doing it again.
Their newest outing is called The Pirates, Band of Misfits and will be in theaters this week.
It stars Hugh Grant.
Interesting to note that’s it in 3D, not the usual claymation fare we are used to from Aardman.
W+L can’t wait to see the animation style in its entirety as well as their very own brand of British humor.
Rap Arabe won the best Canadian documentary prize at 2012’s Toronto Reelworld Film Festival.
Congrats to Bachir!
