These were made by a high school student. A high school student.

Damn that is one talented and dedicated high school student.
I'm a big fan of "sakuga" videos which collect some of the best animation to come out of Japan. This clip shows some the best stuff out of the film "Sword of the Stranger" along with who the key animator was for each part.

Gainax made another set of Parallel works videos! I had no idea. I really liked the composition and colors in this one.

Yea I saw that some months ago, it was pretty good. I dont think they've done anything else though :/

@Vertical - Jesus that's incredible. I wish Gainax had done all of the new Marvel Anime stuff instead of MadHouse. I think it's probably the worst stuff I've seen from them.

The third year film from the Calarts student who made Night Parade is out! And it's in HD!

The look of this piece inspired me quite a bit throughout school:

Hey guys,

I watched "Spirited Away" this weekend and wow, I was blown away.

I'm not the biggest follower of Anime styled animations, but this really changed my mind (although I did go through a religious dragon ball Z stage)

What blew me away even more was the behind the scenes which is available on youtube and sub titled as well! Super interesting, I think these guys took 1.5 yrs to make it, and started with a team of 20 animators, but then doubled it to reach the deadline.

Saw this on the telly tonight, pretty cool!

How do you think it's done?

**Aresa** · October 1st, 2011, 10:22 PM

Woah, awesome thread! So much great and inspiring stuff!

My inspiration is this film made by the students over at Gobelins. Talented bunch over there!

**charlestinney** · October 3rd, 2011, 07:34 PM

**Space Dominators** · March 23rd, 2012, 03:55 AM

This right here is my motivation for making music videos and is also what got me interested in 2D animation again.
