Disney’s Much Touted “Paperman” is Here

Back in June we posted an interview with director John Kahrs who was working on a groundbreaking technique that merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques. Disney employees were tweeting things like: “it’s the dawn of a new age in animation.” They may very well be right…

Here is 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.” Really, how fate conspires to bring people back together after a chance meeting, a broken connection.

Here again is the interview with John Kahrs.

Check out how it’s done?

Here’s to John Lasseter at Disney for fostering such a project. Could he be bringing Disney back to its prestige of yore?

Patrick Boivin Kicks Off the New Year

Woolf + Lapin decided to go with Patrick’s newest clip, which is a riot by the way, to spread holiday cheer. We know we put a lot of his stuff up here, but the guy is so damn productive and amazing, he deserves it.

This is Einstein innocently busting some wicked moves to ring in the new year with some rather clueless robots.

OK so not that innocent. The man is using some dark science to make these robots a thing of the molecular past.

The clip was done to thank Patrick’s many subscribers (260,584 in fact, with a total of 200,137,222 video views). Hearty congrats!
